In her opening statement this morning, former Ambassador Yovanovitch readily admits that she has no first-hand knowledge of Trump’s Ukraine phone call or any of the discussions surrounding the delay of aid to Ukraine:
Yovanovitch states:
“Several other events occurred after I returned from the Ukraine. These include President Trump’s July 25th, 2019 call with President Zelensky, the discussions surrounding that phone call and any of the discussion surrounding the delay of security assistance to Ukraine in the summer of 2019.”
Mark Meadows retweets the same video and says this is all anyone needs to know about Yovanovitch’s testimony:
Respectfully, this is all you need to know about Ambassador Yovanovitch's testimony. She admits she can't bring any firsthand knowledge to:
– The 7/25 phone call
– Discussions surrounding phone call

He’s absolutely right.
Her testimony is simply a spectacle by Democrats to try and harm Trump for ousting her. She has admittedly nothing substantive to add to the question of the ‘quid pro quo’, other then perhaps more hearsay.
Where is Volker? Why hasn’t Schiff brought him in front of the American people yet?
