John Solomon: Ex-ambassador Yovanovitch blocked Ukraine
investigation before being ousted by Trump
By TheBlaze
October 11, 2019 5:55 PM
On Friday's radio program, award-winning investigative
journalist John Solomon joined Glenn Beck to detail how Marie Yovanovitch, the
former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, obstructed investigations into potential
corruption and interference by Democratic and Ukrainian officials in the 2016
U.S. election.
The Trump administration recalled Yovanovitch from her post
in May. The whistleblower complaint at the center of the impeachment inquiry
into President Donald Trump alleged that Yovanovitch was recalled because of
claims made by former Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko.
A White House memo of the July 25 phone call referenced in
the whistleblower complaint, documents President Trump speaking to Ukrainian
President Volodomyr Zelensky about Yovanovitch. "The former ambassador
from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing
with in the Ukraine were bad news, so I just want to let you know that,"
he said.
During a House deposition on Friday, Yovanovitch told
congressional investigators, "there had been a concerted campaign against
me, and that the Department had been under pressure from the President to
remove me since the Summer of 2018."
In this clip, Solomon breaks down the timeline. Starting
last year, several Ukraine officials working under Prosecutor General Lutsenko
raised alarms concerning Yovanovitch's conduct, saying not only was she
meddling in Ukraine domestic affairs, trying to control who the government
there could and couldn't prosecute, but that former Vice President Joe Biden
was also up to something fishy concerning his son, Hunter, and Ukrainian gas
company Burisma. But when they tried to bring it to the attention of American politicians,
Yovanovitch blocked their visa applications from ever going further than her
desk.
"There were three waves of concern expressed by
Ukrainian authorities including the prosecutors and other officials. In May of
2018, then-House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, Republican from Texas
and one of the most powerful chairmen in all of Congress at the time, he made a
trip over to the Ukraine. He came back and wrote a letter to the brand-new
Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and he said, 'I have heard some deeply
troubling reports from both Ukrainians and Americans, that our ambassador is
bad-mouthing President Trump, and I think you should recall her.' That was the
first time that Ukrainians on the ground raised concerns that they saw the
ambassador engaged in inappropriate behavior, interfering investigations, that
sort of stuff," Solomon explained.
"A few months passed and nothing happened. So the
Ukrainian prosecutors under Lutsenko ... hired an American lawyer. This is in
the October-November time frame of 2018," he continued. "They hired a
former U.S. attorney here in the United States and they gave him a packet of
information of things that they felt were wrong. One, that the ambassador was
interfering in the Ukrainian internal affairs, like telling who he could
prosecute and not prosecute. Two, that Joe Biden had fired a prosecutor, who
was investigating his son's company, Burisma. And, three, there is some
significant evidence and there is about to be a court ruling in Ukraine ...
that Ukraine inappropriately interfered in the U.S. election in 2016."
Solomon pointed out that the Ukrainian prosecutors
"tried on their own to get visas to come to the United States," but
that the U.S. Embassy would not process the request. "They were just
sitting there unprocessed. They wouldn't reject them, they wouldn't approve
him. So they were in limbo," he said.
"The third wave is when, eventually, Lutsenko ...
reaches out to me and agrees to do an interview," Solomon added. "He
says, on the record, what had happened, confirming what Pete Sessions said,
confirming what the prosecutors had done in the fall, and legitimately raising
concerns.... When we have a diplomat on our soil in Ukraine, their job is not
to tell us what to do in our internal affairs, it's to deal with American
policy. It's not to tell us who we can and can't prosecute on our own soil. So
three waves over a year ... and all before Rudy Giuliani got on the ground in
Ukraine."
