Round II of the impeachment inquiry hearings and former Ukrainian Ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, was in the hot seat. Amb. Yovanovitch came off as credible and was praised and thanked for her 33 years of service by both Democrats and Republicans. Despite this, President Donald Trump could seemingly not contain himself and had to send a tweet during the testimony, attacking the character and “results” of the ambassador. Even Republicans condemned the tweet. And now, this tweet opens the door to potential charges of witness tampering and/or intimidation. Not only for this witness, but for potential witnesses to come because this has been how President Trump has been behaving toward these witnesses. This is beneath the Office of the Presidency. There are a lot of questions that remain outstanding because Amb. Yovanovitch could have simply been removed because the President wanted her gone. Evidently, that wasn’t good enough because as we know from the 25 July phone call memo, Trump and Zelensky discuss the ambassador and say she’s “trouble” and that, “she’s going to go through some things.” Now it gives the appearance that Trump wanted the ambassador removed because she wasn’t playing the game with getting the Ukrainians to investigate the Bidens. So the appearance of wrongdoing is in the air.
Also, and central to all of this is the President’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and two of his associates. The associates by the way have been arrested by the FBI. These men wanted the ambassador removed and seemingly convinced Trump that she was bad news and had to go in order to get the Ukrainians to investigate the Bidens. Again, this does not look good.
In addition, there was another witness, David Holmes, a State Department official, who testified this evening behind closed doors. This is the man who claims to have overheard President Trump speaking with Ambassador Sondland in a Ukrainian restaurant on the progress being made to investigate the Bidens. This phone call took place on 26 July – one day after the phone call with Zelensky. This testimony can serve to further show the state of mind and the area of focus for the President and his inner circle.
Lastly, Roger Stone, long-time friend and associate of Donald Trump’s was found guilty of all charges today in a Washington, DC courthouse. He was convicted of lying to several authorities and witness intimidation and the like. He is to be sentenced in February.
