Impeachment Hearing, Day Two, Marie Yovanovitch Testifying – Live Streaming And Open Thread

Posted by Ellen -7835.60pc on November 15, 2019 · Flag

Today’s impeachment hearing involves just one witness, Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. The hearing starts at 9 AM ET. We’ve got more information about her and live streaming of the hearing after the jump.

The Washington Post has a good article about the significance of Yovanovitch’s testimony:

As a leading female diplomat, a political target of the president’s allies and a figure at the center of the Ukraine drama, Yovanovitch has crucial knowledge to impart when she testifies at Friday’s impeachment hearing. She also enters the spotlight as the latest woman who has refused to acquiesce to Trump in the face of personal and gender-specific attacks.

The story of Yovanovitch’s removal as Ukraine ambassador reflects some of the most complicated gender and political dynamics of Trump’s presidency. Now the impeachment probe is magnifying those dynamics as the first woman to publicly testify prepares to confront Trump’s fiercest congressional defenders, nearly all men, about a campaign by other male allies of the president to force her from her post. The symbolism of that conflict underscores the significance of the historic probe, which was initiated by the female speaker of the House — Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — and made possible by female voters who helped deliver the House to Democrats in the last election.

…

In what has emerged as a key episode for impeachment investigators, Yovanovitch was recalled early to Washington from the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in May after facing an onslaught of attacks from right-wing media. With encouragement from Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani — but with no evidence — conspiracy theorists painted her as an enemy of the president who used her power to covertly undermine him and assist Democrats.

Correction: Ms. Yovanovitch's first name was misspelled.

Roger Stone found guilty on all seven counts!

I was worried about how they could get a jury together without some braindead AlwaysTrumper slipping through the net and buggering things up.

Stone guilty! 4 out of 7 verdicts in so far.

As an aside, Trump made a big deal boasting yesterday he wasn’t watching the hearings. So much for that Trump talking point (lie).

I hope Wrinkled Rupert is watching today. I guess we’ll see over the next few days…

Fox’s Bret Baier is getting a lot of Twitter play for claiming Trump might have committed the impeachable crime of witness intimidation in real time. Bret’s calling on committee Republicans to clean up Trump’s mess (again). Isn’t that Bret’s job? 🤣

“Fox’s Bret Baier: Trump Gave Schiff a New ‘Article of Impeachment in Real Time’ With Twitter Attack on Yovanovitch”
Is Trump on the phone to Vlad for dirt on Baier?
Will Trump tweet Baier’s wife is ugly and his father shot Kennedy.

Indeed, Bemused. Even more than the other day, I’m really looking forward to seeing how they can possibly filling in their allotted time without scoring own goals.

The net feed from Fox is hopeless today. Every time I manage to get it online it’s just replays of Marie’s testimony. Thanks for keeping me updated, guys.

Sorry for hogging the thread, but I think the GOPers will have a very hard time resisting the temptation to bully “the” woman (to quote Trump). A demeaning term in my book.

The man is disintegrating before our very eyes. Oh, for a live feed of the goings on in the Oval or wherever he is. Let’s get a FOIA request in for all security camera footage :)

Ambassador Yovanovitch has been simply perfect. And kudus to Schiff and the counsel for really bringing out her story. I’ve just popped a pot of popcorn for the next stage.

Just had a vision of Ivanka storming into wherever her Daddy is fuming and trying to wrest that phone from his hands as Jared holds him down.

Countdown to full implosion starting …….

Dana Perino suggests Republicans might argue Trump was not trying to intimidate her, just being a bully. Uh, not much of a difference there, Dana.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 11:03:49 -0500 · Flag
Fox’s Chad Pergram reported a Republican told him “We did not need that,” meaning Trump’s tweet.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 10:56:32 -0500 · Flag
Fox commenters are suggesting Yovanovitch was removed because she didn’t support Zelensky.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 10:54:14 -0500 · Flag
Ken Starr: The president was not advised by counsel (to tweet). … Sometimes we have to control our instincts.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 10:50:50 -0500 · Flag
Fox reporter John Roberts just reported that Trump may have committed a crime (witness intimidation) by tweeting attack on Yovanovitch during her testimony.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 10:45:29 -0500 · Flag
Wallace did not mention Fox News’ role in the testimony nor the smear campaign against Yovanovitch.
John McKee commented 2019-11-15 10:44:56 -0500 · Flag
Great theatre, isn’t it Ellen. Now that he’s tweeted all of Nunes’ opening in several parts, it looks like Trump is out of things to say.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 10:43:04 -0500 · Flag
Chris Wallace: If you are not moved by Yovanovitch’s testimony, you don’t have a pulse.

But Martha MacCallum suggests we may hear that accusations against her are true when Republicans start questioning.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 10:26:00 -0500 · Flag
Trump is attacking Yovanovitch on Twitter and Schiff just read some of the tweets.
Ellen commented 2019-11-15 10:25:07 -0500 · Flag
Boom. Democratic counsel Goldman highlights the Rudy Giuliani/Fox News/Sean Hannity/John Solomon smear campaign against her.
