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.

That’s right, “Weird Science”. I had a slight brain fade there. But she was hot in that.

[Scrambler Bob]

Well, in High School Band, we played Great Gate of Kiev.

So I know it is pronounced Kee’-ev.

This is way back, before public education was ruined.

He is close to NM but not a Rep!

“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.

Right. Often used tactic by the slimes.

Jacqueline Bisset was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.

LOLROFLMAO

HIll brings up Putin and fracking.

Schiff gotta wish she would shut up

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Sure, that’s the American pronunciation, which is perfectly fine, but these Congressmen gotta go Ukrainian or Russian and be ethnically and Russian-linguistically correct.

[dfwgator]

I also know that the Russian pronunciation for Kiev is “Keef”

This is the only "Keef" I know...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So who is the dude in that chamber who looks like him?

[Syncro]

Dear Rep Castro:

Trump doesn’t want a political rival investigated.

He wants the former Vice President investigated for his crimes.

His crimes were committed before Trump was in office.

To describe him as a political rival is not relevant, just is done to miss the whole point as to why Biden should be investigated.

It’s being done for the right reason.

[RummyChick]

Holmes saying Ambassador was indiscreet

[cuban leaf]

SAme here. I learned in high school the correct pronunciation, and I graduated in 1972. It’s Key-ev

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh, I see, not a Republican. As far as I know, he’s a Republican, but given what I’ve heard about him, you can be forgiven for not believing that.

[RummyChick]

conaway going after schiff

[gleeaikin]

Below is the link for an article on Bolton testimony by the Washington Examiner, a right friendly news magazine. They say Bolton is willing to testify, but is awaiting a court ruling regarding priveledged communications.

[Syncro]

Yes that was good!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yes, and he’s probably older than the contemporary modern Russian pronunciation of Kiev, which undoubtedly goes back centuries.

[cuban leaf]

Well, I don’t call mexico, meheeko. And I don’t call Germany Deutschland.

[ought-six]

Ah, sh!t. The insufferable Washington Weeper is bloviating now.

[caww]

.....” Holmes says yes Trump met Zelnsky “but not in the oval office”.........

That response is revealing, yet again, was because He wanted the visual seeing Ukraine identified with the White House “Power”....Personally I believe Holmes and other witnesses favore Ukraine far and beyond the US regardless of how frequently they’ve stated otherwise.
