This is all silly bc the president had the power to fire her and her life is pretty damn great now, nevermind the threats and the public smear campaign Kinda like when all those tweets against Ms. Blasey Ford led to nothing...
EXCEPT IT DID AND SHE HAD TO HIRE SECURITY!

I love Teri Sewell. That's all. She's wonderful. "Because I care."

I really appreciate her answer about why it's important to be non-partisan.

I love that she has the opportunity to have people thank her publicly for all she did as ambassador. I feel like it's maybe a small thing, compared to all of the pain that she has gone through, but still so very important.

HOOOOKAY
Giuliani's weird batshit diplomacy was all fine bc someone from the Kerry campaign once met with an ambassador about HIV/AIDS prevention and that was ALSO something THE CLINTON FOUNDATION cares about so therefore THEY'RE corrupt and not Rudy

I am feeling some sort of way about Taylor steamrolling and not letting her talk. On the one hand I understand this is a technique that is used in hearings, but on the other hand it just feels very wrong.
Turner not Taylor I mean.

I love that the Democrats seem to be pushing towards an conclusion of how Sondland got the position. They're really hitting the importance of not being political.

I think it is counterproductive when the witness is being cooperative, which Yovanovitch generally has been to both R and D congressional questioners.

Good for her. I don't dispute the president's authority but "I do wonder why it was necessary to smear my reputation"

Speier: I'm concerned that every diplomat across the foreign service now has to worry that, in advancing American official foreign policy, they are undermining some backchannel alternative policy that they don't know about and will be punished for interfering with
