Josh Marshall lays down the basic plot from Ambassador Yovanovitch's testimony: She was fired because she was standing in the way of corrupt officials in Ukraine who wanted to give Giuliani and by extension Trump what they were asking for on the Biden family. The State Department didn't want to do or say anything that might be upended by Trump's Twitter feed.
The broader point is that Trump's infantile response mechanisms - attack, leap before your look, attack again - was easily manipulated by those goombahs arrested a few weeks back: Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. They knew what they wanted and it was exceedingly easy to get Trump to bite. As Marshall notes, we should assume that if those two idiots and Giuliani figured it out, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China and Turkey should have zero trouble manipulating the toddler-in-chief.
Thanks, Republicans!
