Nothing at all against a professorship at Georgetown, but honestly.
He's trying to make Obama look bad in comparison to Trump
At that time, the leadership in Ukraine was not trusted and sending them was a bad idea. We sent aid, but not javelins.
Bringing it up wasn't a great idea though, because initially Trump held them back as well, to please Putin.

There's another thread about Obama and blankets comments from yesterday, but I can't find it right now.
Ken Vogel [Politico] and Alexandra Chalupa.
Here we go.
eta - none of the black ledger stuff had anything to do with her directly. He is reaching so hard to connect her to this or to make it sound like she should be in the loop in some way - good for her for pointing out that, while she'd heard of this, it's not her purview.
Wow, Stefanik and Nunes are not going by the rules
and Schiff is not having it. Only Nunes and counsel are allowed to question now; other reps only get 5 minute intervals later. I guess they were trying to get her to do it, since their lawyer is so at sea.
Nope!
Good grief. 2nd tweet is horrifying,
even with the sound off (because I just cannot listen to him.) The low bar is digging its way to to the molten center of the Earth. Isn't threatening someone's life this way a crime in itself?
On the same page.
Sending quiet support along to your Marine friend. What the country is going through right now is difficult and painful for everyone who's paying any attention, but for the military it can cut deep on another level.
Pompeo is now being called out on MSNBC
Being called a coward, that his silence is deafening and disgusting. Asked about complicity, said that is to be determined down the road, but his is a complete failure of leadership. Again, coward.
Strong words. I don't know the name of the man who was speaking. Can anybody tell me who that was?
eta I see that was likely Chuck Rosenberg. He was great, very solemn but obviously furious.
"How did our president jump the wall and get on the other side, attacking Americans..."
Tweety is MAD. He is on a roll. I don't usually care to listen to him, but today he is on point.
What a waste of talent to throw her out like that.
It obviously hurt her personally and professionally. She also genuinely cared about the people she served in Ukraine as well as the US, and cared about how US foreign policy is being undermined. You can't buy that or teach that. It's a calling, and tossing it aside is destructive and stupid.
Yovanovitch is obviously nervous (understandably) but
is doing a wonderful job of laying out her background and the scenario she faced, answering a lot of the questions about both Bidens right off the bat. She also managed to discuss Giuliani and the people in the background who had business reasons for wanting her gone. Good for her.
