Specifically referring to the ambassador.

Both chilling and HIGHLY relevant.

They either wanted to actually murder her or at least do something to scare her into leaving / cowtowing to Trumps demands.

the ambassador was moved out of Ukraine quickly. It may very well have saved her life. This whole story is horrific.

We have evidence, though, that he was conspiring with foreign enemies, Ukrainian oligarchs/organized crime closely linked to Putin, to hurt his own ambassador, "the things." Who was visibly, physically shocked at learning that the president who had her back as she represented our great power in dangerous assignments was plotting to plant a knife in it instead.

Other sources report that Ukrainian oligarchs/organized criminals, Ukraine's corrupt powers, were plotting to frame Yovanovich for corruption.

We don't know if that plot to destroy her was "the things"... But can't wait for the next chapter in this intolerably improbable novel we're actually living.

trump says he has the "best words," but nobody chooses expressions like he does. No one calls their meetings "perfect." Or refers to themselves as a "stable genius." It's normal for Trump to run his mouth without thinking.

When I heard "she's going to go through some things," however, I thought wow, he is consciously hiding something. He is consciously aware that whatever "some things" is cannot be said. He was consciously thinking about what he was saying, which is a departure from his usual free for all from his "brain" to his mouth.

This makes it very, very ominous.

Then if you look back at the conversation where Marie was told to get out of the country fast, it truly is enough to make one shudder.
