Thought this was worthy of its own thread.

Before anyone says he is just talking about firing her, remember who he's talking to. Not the state department. Not his cabinet. Not the Intelligence Community.
He's talking to two goons who he has gone on record saying he didn't know. He's telling THEM to take her out. Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. The same goons that were spying on Yovonovitch in released text messages with comments like having some people willing to help take her out but that they would need to be paid.
Let's be very clear. Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman are not government employees, they are criminals. They commit crime. They do not have the power to legally remove Yovonovitch from her post. Trump telling them to "take her out" is ****ing insane. Having a recording of him saying that is ****ing insane.
I anxiously await the spin on this. If not for the crazy text messages of Parnas actually plotting to "take her out." I might actually believe that Trump just wanted her fired. However when we can see Parnas plotting crime against Yovonovitch it's a whole new story.
