Fiona Hill, former National Security Council senior director for Europe and Russia, will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, Nov. 21, in the impeachment probe into President Donald Trump. Hill told lawmakers in closed-door testimony last month that then-national security adviser John Bolton expressed concerns that the Trump administration was trying to pressure Ukrainian officials. The focus of the impeachment inquiry is a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked Ukraine's president to investigate 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“Just the facts ma’am” has never been part of her training it seems

[Williams]

I’m really miffed by his absurd statement that Trump meeting with Putin “doesn’t help Ukraine”. I think that sums up the bs spewed by these witnesses.

[pnz1]

I was hoping Stefanik would tear into Holmes

[dfwgator]

When our guys are questioning, they say things like, “I know you’re upset that Trump won.” Why do they never ask, “Don’t you understand that we hated Obama with the burning heat of a thousand suns? Don’t you know we were physically ill when he won the election? But we’re American adults, and we respected an election and never did what you’re doing.”

Some remember when Trump went after Obama's Birth Certificate, and they never forgave him for that.

What they really don’t get is if a dem president is elected and we have the house they have opened a wide door.

“Wow, she loves to talk. That has to be making Schiff nervous.”

No, she’s eating up the clock on the GOP questions, so Shifty likes that.

[caww]

Shiff’s body language is he’s on the defense and closed to anything....he often does this with Repulicans that have facts and figures an dates.

[Williams]

Scumbag Holmes says yes Trump met Zelnsky “but not in the oval office”. Maybe he’d like to decide what color shoes the president should wear.

It’s my impression that Sondland’s sloppy talk around all these diplomatic ninnies, is the cause of all this bogus quid pro quo kerfuffle.

[RummyChick]

swalwell saying nunes may be a fact witness

[Raebie]

Well they forgave Hillary, didn’t they?

[caww]

Those questions are not relevant ....and why you nor I are on the committee. These questions are designed to discover facts and reveal what can be revealed.

[ought-six]

“Adam Schiff strikes me as being the kid in grade school who always wants to be hall monitor.”

He buttoned the top button of his shirt and wore a pocket protector in his shirt pocket.

[RummyChick]

its pretty clear he was a name dropper and braggard.

[pnut22]

The two guys are charged with campaign finance violations. Made up stuff to help in this very process.

[shelterguy]

“””””swalwell saying nunes may be a fact witness””””

I think Nunes would love to testify.

[Williams]

“Some remember when Trump went after Obama’s Birth Certificate, and they never forgave him for that.”

They grudgingly respect that Trump is the only tough sob in the GOP.

[RummyChick]

here we go with the whisperer

what is the deal with him..can’t he speak up

[pnut22]

I told you Hurd was on the wrong side of the room.

[Williams]

Holmes just declared Zelensky a God.

[EVO X]

I haven’t read Holmes disposition, but I doubt republicans pressed him on the phone call if they were even allowed to ask questions. Tactical error by democrats..
