Marie Yovanovitch calls out Trump allies' 'storm of lies and conspiracies' in scathing op-ed

“I have seen dictatorships around the world, where blind obedience is the norm and truth-tellers are threatened with punishment or death,” she writes. “We must not allow the United States to become a country where standing up to our government is a dangerous act. It has been shocking to experience the storm of criticism, lies and malicious conspiracies that have preceded and followed my public testimony.”
----
“Our public servants need responsible and ethical political leadership,” she writes. “This administration, through acts of omission and commission, has undermined our democratic institutions, making the public question the truth and leaving public servants without the support and example of ethical behavior that they need to do their jobs and advance U.S. interests.”

Also we must say it over and over again that this is the most corrupt administration and party ever (Republicans).

She speaks out even though she is threatened. I am sorry to see her leave public service.
