The real Ukraine controversy: an activist U.S. embassy and its adherence to the Geneva Convention
 

The first time I ever heard the name of U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was in early March of this year. It did not come from a Ukrainian or an ally of President Trump. It came from a career diplomat I was interviewing on background on a different story.

The diplomat, as I recall, suggested that Yovanovitch had just caused a commotion in Ukraine a few weeks before that country’s presidential election by calling for the firing of one of the prosecutors aligned with the incumbent president.

The diplomat related that a more senior State official, David Hale, was about  to travel to Ukraine and was prepping to be confronted about Yovanovitch’s comments. I remember the diplomat joking something to the effect of, “we always say that the Geneva Convention is optional for our Kiev staff.”

The Geneva Convention is the UN-backed pact enacted during the Cold War that governs the conduct of foreign diplomats in host countries and protects them against retribution. But it strictly mandates that foreign diplomats “have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of that State” that hosts them. You can read the convention’s rules here. 

I dutifully checked out my source’s story. And sure as day, Yovanovitch did give a speech on March 5, 2019 calling for Ukraine’s special anticorruption prosecutor to be removed. You can read that here.

Essentially, the US Embassy in Kiev under the former Administration was heavily involved in meddling in the Ukraine government.  Yovanovitch  essentially presented a “Do Not Investigate” list to the prosecutor heading up the anti corruption probes, and those folks were heavily connected to one George Soros.

Yes, I mentioned earlier that John Solomon was currently under fire from the Leftist media and their so called fact checkers.  Did you actually read John Solomon’s piece and review all the reference material he included?  I did not see any evidence from the MSNBC fact checker linked.

Read the article, not the supporting documents. Ari Melber makes a compelling case: In April Solomon made several claims of news out if the Ukraine including that the corruption case against Joe Biden had been opened. That was not the case because we see Guliani and the President push for the investigation to be opened later, which the Ukrainians resist

Neither Warren nor Sanders are currently in a position to withhold any aid. Please do pay attention. It's also ridiculous to say the media are silent. There are articles in Newsweek, National Review, The Intercept, The Hill... If you are getting news from a meme, you are doing something wrong.

They are not in a position yet, but they are making campaign promises that the meme points out.  Are you saying the meme was false?

There is a general lack of understanding of what some common Latin terms are. That is why using the terms bribery and extortion tell the story in plainer language.   " I need a favor from you though..."

Another great deflection.
