Today at 9:00am ET, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will hold the second day of open hearings for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Todays testimony will come from former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.
Marie Yovanovitch is a woman of dubious character who was removed from the administration prior to the July phone call between U.S. President Trump and Ukraine President Zelenskyy. Ms. Yovanovitch has coordinated both her deposition and public hearing comments with the Democrat staff of the committee.

Nunez tried and Schifty shut him down. He tried to yield his time to JJ and Schifty told him only he and the minority lawyer were allowed to speak during that 45 min period.

To those who feel irritated by the Republicans’ repeated thanks to this witness, and whose irritation and disgust I certainly share, please consider the following:

She’s done. She’s outed, she’s disgraced and she’s still under the watch and authority of her boss, Secretary Pompeo.
She’s being led down the garden path to self incrimination by her friends the dems, and she knows it. Some of her most devastating answers have been to their questions. And she knows it.

let the low-info tv and internet viewers (most of whom will only catch sound bites) see the good guys destroying the witnesses…let them read the body language
