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 all ambassadors and putting in your own donors is the norm. The democrats are trumping up nonsense.
Then again, Trump needs to show some class and just fire ambassadors instead of whining and complaining about them, and then firing them.

(obama did this during transition before he was president)

Fact 1: It is common for incoming presidents to demand resignations of previously appointed ambassadors

Fact 2: He gave them the customary notice.

Fact 3: He had replacements lined up so that there was no break in continuity.

Fact 4: He didn't fire anyone in order to cover up for his crimes or protect his ego.

BONUS FACT!: When Trump fired ambassadors during the beginning of his first term, he didn't have replacements!

Lie #4 there are no Trump crimes in Ukraine, only covered up Biden crimes
Bonus Lie there was continuity, by "acting" appointees or holdovers like "Masha"

Very close. Marie Yovanovitch, the Ukraine ambassador Trump removed, testified that Obama was as worried about the Bidens' involvement in corruption in Ukraine as President Trump, but tried to hide the facts from the public. This provides motive and credence to the claim that Joe Biden was sent to Ukraine to threaten to withhold US aid unless the prosecutor investigating the very corrupt firm that was paying Hunter Biden was fired.

Doesn't matter. Obama is no longer in office. Trump is. And Trump is the one being brought to justice.

Yeah heard that from you parrots for over two years during Mueller. Now we hear Schiff the schill saying he did not know the whistleblower while talking to them. I heard from such and such who heard from such and such. I think he meant but I did not actually talk to him or anyone about it.
Do you personally know of any wrongdoing? No.

So yell all you want. It won't help and you still look deranged.

Quite remarkable, Obama wasn't even president in 2008.

And MY point was made by you... WHAT exactly is the impeachment inquiry about?
Firing of ambassadors? Asking a foreign country to fire someone or else they won't get money...like this?
"I (Biden) looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours.
If the prosecutor is not fired, (QUID...) you’re not getting the money. (QUO) Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired.
And they put in place someone who was solid at the time...(someone who wouldn't investigate Burisma, Biden's son's employer.)..
