Marie Yovanovitch admits Obama admin prepped her on Hunter Biden

And I had a hard time believing that the Obama administration would actually tell her what to say, as in, "A select answer" in response to the question that would probably come up at her senate confirmation hearing regarding Hunter Biden's job at Barisma. And several right winged outfits are reporting that it is a big deal that they told her what to say.

That's it. I guess I was so frantic to see if she said that I did not express myself clearly as to why I wanted to know if it was true. But I suppose it is not that big a deal since witness prep involves telling the witness what to say to hard questions.


This is the paragraph: "We — I was aware of it, because as I told you before, in the deposition, there had been a — in terms of the preparation for my Senate confirmation hearings for Ukraine, there was a question about that and a select answer,” Yovanovitch replied.
