[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This staffer, Laura Carey, should be called  as a witness.

[quote]Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, a key witness in House Democrats' impeachment inquiry, communicated via her personal email account with a Democratic congressional staffer concerning a "quite delicate" and "time-sensitive" matter -- just two days after the whistleblower complaint that kickstarted the inquiry was filed, and a month before the complaint became public, emails obtained Thursday by Fox News showed.

The emails appear to contradict Yovanovitch's deposition on Capitol Hill last month, in which she told U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., about an email she received Aug. 14 from the staffer, Laura Carey -- but indicated under oath that she never responded to it.

The communication came "from the Foreign Affairs Committee," and "they wanted me to come in and talk about, I guess, the circumstances of my departure," Yovanovitch testified, describing Carey's initial email. "I alerted the State Department, because I'm still an employee, and so, matters are generally handled through the State Department."

Yovanovitch continued: "So, she emailed me. I alerted the State Department and, you know, asked them to handle the correspondence. And, she emailed me again and said, you know, 'Who should I be in touch with?'"

Fox News is told it is a breach of normal procedure for congressional staff to reach out to a current State Department employee at their personal email address for official business.[/quote]

[quote]Asked directly whether she responded to Carey's overtures, Yovanovitch testified only that someone in the "Legislative Affairs Office" at the State Department had responded to Carey, to the best of her knowledge.

Yovanovitch did not indicate that she had responded to Carey's first email in any way, and testified explicitly that she did not reply to Carey's follow-up email concerning whom she should contact at the State Department.[/quote]

How does this change the story that the President extorted the Ukrainians?

(hint, it doesn't)[/quote]

Extortion:  the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.

It didn't  happen.

As for this person, Laura Carey, and the fact that Yovanovitch appears to have lied under  oath....... It is relevant to find out  how far  in advance this impeachment proceeding was orchestrated.  And, who all is  involved in the planning.  [/quote]

Is this the new GOP/ FOX tactic? So predictable.[/quote]
