The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, who accused the Trump administration of a "smear" campaign against her, has retired from the foreign service, NPR has learned. The career diplomat was abruptly forced out of her post in Ukraine amid accusations of disloyalty in a scheme allegedly involving President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and two of Giuliani's associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who were arrested and charged with campaign finance violations in October. After her recall in May, Yovanovitch remained on the State Department payroll, teaching at Georgetown University. But sources tell NPR that she has officially

She bad-mouthed PDT to Ukrainian officials. She deserved worse than being re-called. And then she lied to congress. Now she gets to retire with her fat pension instead of doing time.

After the vote on Wednesday, I recommend wholesale firing of the deep state Ambassadors.

It was misleading to the public for the leftist and liberal Democrats to claim that President Trump unlawfully fired this lady from her ambassadorial position in Ukraine. Because she was not fired, and as a career State Department employee was actually reassigned back to the State Department in DC in accordance with a presidential executive prerogative that gives the President the authority to appoint and replace US Ambassadors to ensure that they are operating in accordance with the President’s foreign policy objectives. That move may have hurt that ladies feelings, but was not out of the ordinary with what past President’s have done. As a career Government employee the lady is now retiring from Government service.

Yovanovitch perjured herself before the House Intelligence committee when she denied that she demanded the Ukrainian prosecutor, Lutsenko, drop investigations into several Ukrainian politicians that had colluded with the State Department to get dirt on Trump in 2016. She was a well known Clinton supporter that used her position to protect the corrupt scheme of diverting US aid earmarked for anti-corruption purposes through Soros backed NGOs like NABU rather than providing funding to official Ukrainian state prosecutors that were actually prosecuting protected Ukrainian oligarchs.
Giuliani, acting as the President's personal lawyer, was the only person that the honest Ukrainians trusted enough to hand over the evidence of Ukrainian corruption that our own DOJ refused to accept because it didn't support the Crossfire Hurricane Russian collusion narrative. None of these witnesses trusted Yovanovitch and her State Department to investigate their own corruption. The NPR article is simply more of the anti-Giuliani smear campaign to protect the Obama administration from a real investigation.

A search needs to be made of off-shore accounts that belong to her. That money needs to mysteriously disappear. She wouldn't be able to squawk about it. Might be a worse punishment for her than Leavenworth. Because nobody like her does what she did in her position without getting a taste of the money flowing by.

Another CRIMINAL went FREE under the guise of RETIREMENT! We keep transmitting these messages to the hard-working American taxpayers that government officials are ABOVE the LAW. And we keep allowing this to happen while these criminals wave their middle fingers at us, as they exit their office.

Aside from a big fat pension, what was the amount of the big fat Congressional DNC caucus check? Did Pencil Neck, Jabba, and Piglousi put in the biggest amount for her faux testimony?

Whether or not what she did was ‘criminal,’ if she did indeed lie in sworn testimony, then yes, she should be prosecuted...
Confirming all GOP Presidents MUST install their own team of like-minded Ambassadors, Department Heads, Judges et al... IMMEDIATELY after transition. Period.

Retired and still supported by US for the rest of her life. And, parents and students will get to pay again when she retires a second time from GU. Great! Who says crime doesn't pay for government officials?

FTA: "After her recall in May, Yovanovitch remained on the State Department payroll, teaching at Georgetown University."
I'm nearing retirement but would still like a gig like that.

The dems won the house. Given their nature, this debacle has all been predictable. My question is, why has the Republican majority senate done virtually nothing in the face of such disgusting corruption? Are there that many of them that are dirty too? Probably --

She has served her useful purpose to the Deep State and is no longer needed.

A few others, Vindmann, the whistleblower et al, should quietly retire or be reassigned to basement desks somewhere (at the least).

These government employees sure do have it easy when they engage in illegal or unethical activity and get caught. They stay on the payroll until it gets just a little too hot, then retire with full pension and health bennies and / or go to work for a cable news outlet. Yovanovitch, Lois Lerner, that judge Collyer who was a FISC judge all retired with full bennies. Clapper, Brennan and McCabe all went to work for MSNBC or CNN. Heck, McCabe, Strzok and Page are all suing to get their full retirement.
