Where was the impeachment hearings when this happened?

FLASHBACK: President Barack Obama Fired All George W. Bush-Appointed Ambassadors in 2008

Former United States ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified Friday about her dismay upon being fired by President Donald Trump, but it’s actually quite common for presidents to do so after taking office.


The State Department issued a December 2008 notice to Bush-appointed ambassadors to submit their resignations, effective when President Barack Obama took office in 2009, according to the Washington Post.
“It’s a normal procedure for ambassadors, career and non-career, to submit their resignations. And what happens is that all of them do,” the official said at the time.

Typically, some career ambassadors are later allowed to stay in place on a case by case basis until they are replaced.
Trump also issued a notice asking all Obama-appointed ambassadors to submit their resignations when he prepared to take office, which created controversy at the time, as it appeared that he would not allow extensions.

So where was all the MSM/Democrats angst and sympathy in 2008?
Firing an ambassador is not an impeachable offense. Extortion and bribery are.

How can you be right when you have no idea what's wrong?
/—-/ Now all you need is evidence.
Ask Mick Mulvaney.
 
Getting rid of the obstacle she represented to his plan to shake down the Ukraine, is not the reason he will be impeached.

Damn I thought you paid attention. The impeachment hearings aren't about the ambassadors firing, which any President will normally do when elected and replace with their own.

Just to validate your statement:
