Trump ordered the removal of the ambassador to Ukraine after complaints from Giuliani that she was undermining him abroad and obstructing efforts to persuade Kyiv to investigate Biden.

The recall of Marie Yovanovitch in the spring has become a key point of interest in the House impeachment inquiry. Giuliani said he gave Mr. Pompeo a nine-page document that included a detailed timeline of the Bidens’ dealings in Ukraine and allegations of impropriety against Ms. Yovanovitch, including that she was “very close” to Mr. Biden.

There’s a reason why Israel has a border wall yet overwhelmingly fought for America not to have one. Biggest Clinton donors, voted almost 80% for her, cite no wall as an issue. Try and figure this one out.

American Jews aren't Israeli Jews.

Teppler thinks all Jews are the same.

So who wants to count up how many dual citizen American-Israeli politicians we have? You know the people who vote for that 3.2$ bil package to Israel every year. Anyone want to remind me what we get back for the 3.2 bil annually?

Bonus question- How many Israeli politicians are dual citizens? No one's gonna answer this so I'll just give the answer. 0. They consider is a security risk.

I'd reply but you're probably going to edit or delete your post again.

Asked on Thursday morning why Yovanovitch was recalled, Trump said, "I don't know if I recalled her or somebody recalled her, but I heard very, very bad things about her for a very long period of time -- not good."

Yovanovitch, a career member of the foreign service and who has served in ambassadorships under three presidents, was sworn in as ambassador to Ukraine in August 2016. Former officials who worked with her praised her experience and ability and the diplomatic community has rallied to support her.

Trump raised Biden with Chinese President Xi in June call housed in highly secure server.

During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed.

The White House record of that call was later stored in the highly secured electronic system used to house a now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's President and which helped spark a whistleblower complaint that's led Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump.
