Obama fired EVERY Ambassador appointed by Bush.

"Former President Barack Obama fired all ambassadors appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2008, the Washington Post previously reported. Yovanovitch testified Friday that the Trump administration, including the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, “kneecapped” her. She said that she was not supported by State Department leaders after being recalled in May.

“Political ambassadors sometimes are permitted to stay on briefly during a new administration, but the sweeping nature of the directive suggests that Obama has little interest in retaining any of Bush’s ambassadorial appointees,” WaPo’s 2008 article about Obama’s decision to fire all political ambassadors reads."

Now shut up you dumb asses

Sorry that does not work. Yovanovitch was fired after a misinformation campaign was launched against her by Giuliani. This was presumably to cover up Giuliani's attempt to pressure Ukraine to investigate Biden.

Sorry, it does. The Prez can hire and fire anyone at any time. Deal with it.

So what? Did President Obama also smear them with distortions/lies/misinformation and destroy their careers and reputations?
 
But Dimwingers want to impeach Trump for firing one ambassador.


Flashback: Obama Fired All Bush Appointed Ambassadors In 2008
The article is a lie.

Yovanovitch was appointed by Obama in 2016, and newly elected presidents typically re-vamp the positions with their own choices once taking office.

Yovanovitch was allowed to stay on for three years after Trump took office.


She was asked to stay by Pompeo back in May.
Just out of curiosity, just how long have the Democrats been pushing the phony Russian collusion hoax?

"In this file photo taken on June 17, 2018 US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch (C) takes part in the gay pride march in central Kiev. President Trump called her 'bad news' in a call with the president of Ukraine.."

Donald Trump removed U.S. ambassador to Ukraine after Rudy Giuliani and 'outside allies' complained | Daily Mail Online

There a difference between "politically" appointed ambassadors and "career-service/Foreign Service officers" ambassadors.

If that was the case, precisely how did Russia help Trump win the election, and what is their involvement in setting official US policy?

There was none on the Trump campaign. Plenty on the Clinton campaign though.

So yeah. So there was a lot of collusion going on.

Mea Culpa.

Obama relieved all of Bush's politically appointed ambassadors of their duties when he took office.

That is accurate.

The key phrase is "politically appointed".

Next outrage.

They are all politically appointed
It's a political position

True. The appointed ambassador had better well reflect the policies of the President, otherwise get the fuck out. Even the new Ukraine President had issues with her, because she was chin deep in her involvement with the previous corrupt Ukraine administration.
Yovanovitch was respected within the national security community for her efforts to encourage Ukraine to tackle corruption,[18] and during her tenure had sought to strengthen the Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau, which had been created to bolster efforts to fight corruption in Ukraine; these efforts earned Yovanovitch some enemies within the country.[19] In a March 2019 speech to the Ukraine Crisis Media Center, Yovanovitch said that the Ukrainian government was not making sufficient progress to combat corruption, saying: "It is increasingly clear that Ukraine's once-in-a-generation opportunity for change has not yet resulted in the anti-corruption or rule of law reforms that Ukrainians expect or deserve."[20]--Marie Yovanovitch - Wikipedia

rightwinger said:
Did Obama fire them once he assumed office?
That is what usually happened

Trump fired her two and a half years into his presidency once she interfered with his bribery of Ukraine
How Much Time Does He Have
Before He's Not Allowed To Remove Them
Trick Question ^ ^ ^

He Can Recall Them Anytime He Wants
Singularly, Or En Masse
Even With-Out Cause
