"SNIP....

The White House accidentally sent Democrats a list of talking points related to ex-Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s Friday House deposition, two sources with knowledge of the email told The Hill, the second time in a month the administration has sent its Ukraine talking points to Democrats.

The email included guidance for Republicans seeking to defend the president from potentially damaging witness testimony from an ambassador who was removed from her post in May under controversial circumstances. 

In copies of the guidance shared with The Hill, The White House encouraged Republicans to adopt a series of messages designed to turn the tables back on Democrats, including attacks on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) handling of the probe.

Yovanovitch told House lawmakers that she was removed after “a concerted campaign against” her from President Trump and his allies.

Fact is, there is no way to know. I suggest that such claims, regardless of the source, should not be unquestioningly parroted on DU.

Look, you obviously don't know anything about intelligence work, lady. It's an XK Red 27 technique.
