dark thought in the back of my mind: Rudy & Trump were planning an acid attack on Yovanovitch

Rounding up some anonymous Ukrainian thugs to commit this assault is exactly, in my opinion, something that violent vengeful trump would do. We know what he did to Ivana, his own wife, as an act of misplaced vengeance for scalp surgery gone bad.

And trump was furious with Yovanovitch for refusing to play along with his corruption.

trump runs in the same circles as mobsters. And eastern European thugs seem to specialize in this particular type of violence.

I have thought this ever since it was revealed trump said "She's going to go through some things."

Like next available flight. Someone stateside had told her to leave Ukraine ASAP. Don’t recall the names but there was testimony to this effect.

...to not start or repeat conspiracy theories. That’s what the Q-types do. Bring it on, though, IF you have a credible source, TomDaisy.

7. It was a fluid situation, and she was told she might not be safe. There's this.

More directly, she drew a link between Giuliani and two businessmen -- Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who have been indicted in the U.S. on charges stemming from campaign donations – as part of the campaign to oust her. She understood they were looking to expand their business interests in Ukraine “and that they needed a better ambassador to sort of facilitate their business’ efforts here.”

Yovanovitch said was told by Ukrainian officials last November or December that Giuliani was in touch with Ukraine’s former top prosecutor, Yuriy Lutsenko, “and that they had plans, and that they were going to, you know, do things, including to me.”

Not to butt in, but I just recall several sources reporting that a Ukrainian official had told her to "watch her back."

It had to have been very scary indeed for her. Also, a humiliating end to a stellar career of service.
