Såå ett vittne som hade absolut inget att berätta. Varför var hon kallad att vittna alls?
Om du lyssnar och sätter dig in istället för att bara svälja vad toddler-in-chief skriver på twitter så hade du kanske fått lite sammanhang?

Marie Yovanovitch gave powerful and incriminating testimony in the Trump impeachment hearing. Here are the biggest takeaways.
Yovanovitch was abruptly recalled from her position in May after what she described as a nearly yearlong
"smear campaign" against her by Trump and Giuliani that was based on fabrications and lies.
In her testimony, Yovanovitch said she believed she had become the target of Giuliani's ire because she would not help him strong-arm the Ukrainian government into delivering the politically motivated investigations Trump wanted.
"In your 33 years as a foreign-service officer, have you ever heard of a president of the United States recalling another ambassador without cause based on allegations that the State Department knew to be false?" "No," Yovanovitch said.
These are the biggest takeaways from Yovanovitch's testimony- The Democratic strategy: let the facts speak for themselves.
- The Republican strategy: distract, distract, distract.
That said, while Republicans went to bat for Trump, they also went out of their way to praise Yovanovitch for her decades of public service. The strategy was particularly interesting because it came as the president was publicly attacking Yovanovitch as she testified. - Yovanovitch singled out State Department leadership and said it allowed corrupt interests to "hijack" the US's foreign policy.
- The former ambassador was shocked that corrupt Ukrainians were able to find Americans willing to collaborate with them to undermine the US.
"How could our system fail like this? How is it that foreign corrupt interests can manipulate our government?"
Hon beskriver väldigt tydligt vad det är som sker när korrupta brottslingar tillåts montera ner och sälja ut USAs ställning och inflytande i världen till högstbjudande, helt för egen vinning.

Och denna process har varit ständigt pågående,
för att Donald inte verkar för USAs bästa!

How the Trump Administration Broke the State Department
Han tycks jobba för någon annan.
Det är dock lite sorgligt att ska vi säga,
viss bokstavstrogen övertygelse, gör det fullkomligt omöjligt för en mindra skara människor att överhuvudtaget se detta eller ens föreställa sig.

Måste det förklaras långsamt?

The halfway point: what have two years of Trump's wrecking ball done to America?
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, says: “Trump is squandering one of America’s greatest strengths, which is its allies. Stand back and say, is America more powerful than when he got elected in 2016? The answer has to be no. There has been only slippage.”
Och vi är inte ens halvvägs än! Vittnesmålen om hur Donald skött Vita Huset som en Gudfaders-buskis fortsätter komma in i strid ström,
för att det är precis vad som har pågått! För människorna i Vita Huset var detta inga konstigheter: För dem var det helt naturligt att begå brott mot fosterlandet!

The Stupid Watergate...
