Giuliani later said in a series of interviews that he forced her out of her post and provided the president with information that showed she impeded investigations that could have helped Trump.

Giuliani's another thug Trump's paying to ensure he remains in office so the Trump syndicate's global business can continue to profit.

How much have Trump's golf courses made when he goes there to play games of golf paid for by taxpayers.

Yovanovitch was a highly regarded career foreign service officer when Rudy Giuliani, serving as Trump's personal lawyer, led a campaign against her as he sought to push Ukrainian officials to help him in his reelection campaign.

Pretty much sums it up.

Dunno, but WaPo is reporting that the Secret Service was forced to pay $650 a night to stay at Mar-a-Largo. But the good news is that Trump donates his salary, right?

And look at the way Trump has attacked Lt. Col. Vindman, a decorated war hero.

Think about it, Trump the cowardly draft dodger attacking Lt. Col. Vindman the brave war hero.

Absolutely despicable. These people have no shame.

Well done Madame Ambassador - thank you for a stellar 34 year career in service to your country.

Soon we'll clear the State Dept and the White House of the cowards and traitors that tried, unsuccessfully, to tarnish your reputation.

Yesterday Trump has sacked another 70 Obama left overs. Democrats should be happy to have them a witness for the second impeachment saga. Trump will remove the mask of Soros children in the white house and the evil empire of Obama Clinton dynasty.

She committed perjury when she said she turned down the visa for Viktor Shokin because of corruption.

@serranoShe committed perjury 

I checked and Glenn Beck also said she committed 'perjury'. I can't hold my nose to see whether other alt right sources are saying the same thing, but have to wonder why the alt right Trump/Barr 'legal' system hasn't (single entity exclusively for the protection of their fellow 'elite') gone after her for doing so.

She was also bad mouthing the president whilst ambassador to Ukraine.

The ambassador serves at the pleasure of the president. He wasn't pleased. End of story.

Marie Yovanovitch failed to support the elected U.S. President, and the President's policies. Marie Yovanovitch failed to do her job. Therefore, Marie Yovanovitch lost her job. That is why it no longer matters what political claims Democrats are making, or who they chose to champion. Democrat claims are simply not very convincing.

Marie Yovanovitch failed to support the elected U.S. President....

Would you support something you thought was unconstitutional, illegal or both?

...and the President's policies.

By "policies" you mean transparent, brazen efforts to solicit foreign aid in getting dirt on a political opponent to help get himself re-elected?

The man indicted trying to save his skin, the very same man that problems and a history of...wait for it...credibility...well, the impeachment farce is over anyway....

so she would get fired since she was blocking his attempts to get his sleazy buds and clients dirty deals in Ukraine - you know, corruption...

She and about 7 billion people around the world "bad mouth" this President daily.

She may have served at the pleasure of the President for 34 years, but only the current Despot President didn't like her loyalty to the USA.

Cant wait till Despot Donnie is out of the White house and in the Jail house where he belongs.

Yep, he's a skunk - a given since he's Rudy's business partner and FOD (Friend of Donnie) - wonder how many more videos he has of them yucking it up together...

No surprise that the establishment is giving an award to an ex US ambassador who was politicking for Hillary/ Democrats while on the job.

Any actual evidence she was politicking for Hillary (she takes up a lot of space in your head)/Democrats? Just one iota will suffice to demonstrate you have any clue what you’re talking about.

She DID serve at the pleasure of the President. OTOH, you only have to wait five years until Trump won't be eligible to run for President again. Tick tock, tick tock.

Strangerland - You've clearly never been a non-American out and about in the world.

When you're not American, people literally make fun of Trump every day, openly mocking him. I've seen it in too many countries to count now.

That's unbelievable.

Elected Democrats set the stage for unproductive government when they chose to begin their "resist" movement three years ago.

No it's not. Your president is viewed as a crude, pig-ignorant, sub-literate, sexually abusing criminal fraudster and childish bully by billions of people all over the world.

I think the idea is that Scottish comedians don't count because the accent is incompatible with 'real American English'.

But you don't have to be a paid comedian to make fun of Trump. The Impeached Orange Chosen One makes it all too easy.

That's unbelievable.

What's unbelievable is that a goodly proportion of the US population apparently think Trump isn't a figure of ridicule.

That's not what I said.

2nd, comedians write jokes. Many times they have writers write jokes for them. The purpose of their jokes is to entertain a paying public. Some people chose to get their "news", or "facts" from people who are writing jokes instead of facts.

Ridicule all you want - meanwhile the retirement investments of Americans are ballooning in value and more and more conservative judges are being put on the bench every week. The ridicule of Lefty globalists are meaningless by comparison. Bring it on - it must make you feel better about Hillary’s loss. It’s the least I can do.

Yip. Frankie Boyle, love him or loathe him, is well-known as a scathing comedian but his utter contempt and total disdain for Trump is just a mirror of how people all over the world feel about your man. Nobody made jokes like that about Clinton or Obama and even the war criminal Bush 2 wasn't subject to such ridicule. You folks really must inhabit an alternative reality if you can't believe that Trump is an object of contempt for millions.

Yep with further illegal foreign assistance and interference Trump may indeed manage to get another term to continue to demolish America and its little remaining international credibility.

After which he will need to flee America or face life in prison for his numerous crimes against America. I am sure his boss Putin will have a lovely tower he can live in in Moscow. That or jail where he really belongs.
