As the Democrat U.S. House of Representatives wrap up its impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump, critics questioning the impartiality and credibility of officials testifying against the president have learned that ex-National Security Council member Fiona Hill previously worked for far-left financier George Soros.
Hearings were underway over Trump’s request to the Ukrainian government that it help investigate foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election, and look into whether former Vice President Joe Biden pressured the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor because he had been investigating his son Hunter’s business dealings in the country. Democrats claim Trump tried to illicitly withhold military aid in exchange for damaging information on a potential political opponent; the president’s defenders argue he engaged in routine negotiating in pursuit of valid questions.
Hill, who was a White House advisor on Russia policy, testified this week that she considered Trump’s efforts to get the Ukrainians to investigate the Bidens amounted to a “domestic political errand” to the detriment of sound foreign policy. She also dismissed suspicions of Ukrainian election interference as a “fictional narrative.”
In response, the White House has characterized her testimony as indicating no direct knowledge of any damning revelations (she left her post prior to the phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky), and critics have called her impartiality into question by noting that she has reversed her position on Ukrainian military aid since the Obama years.
On Thursday, conservative pundit and former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy responded to Hill’s dismissal of Ukrainian election interference. “A Ukrainian court, in late 2018, concluded that two Ukrainian officials meddled in the election,” he writes. “And in 2018 House testimony, Nellie Ohr — who worked for Fusion GPS, the Clinton campaign opposition research firm that produced the lurid and discredited Steele dossier — conceded that a pro-Clinton Ukrainian legislator was a Fusion informant.”
“Hill is too smart not to have grasped the effect of her testimony,” McCarthy wrote. “This is exactly the kind of cynicism that fuels concerns about the unaccountable ‘deep state.’”
Further raising questions about Hill’s impartiality is her resume, which reveals that from 2000 to 2006 she was a member of the Central Eurasia Project Advisory Board of George Soros’ Open Society Institute. Hill has assailed invocations of the connection as an “anti-Semitic conspiracy theory” akin to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Yet it is undisputed that Soros is an avowed progressive, foe of Republicans generally and Trump specifically, and a prolific financier of left-wing causes throughout the United States and around the world, raising questions about the political leanings of those who work for his organizations.
Additionally, Soros identifies as an atheist, and his nominally-Jewish roots are not a factor in mainstream conservative commentary about him, with one exception: noting that as a teen in Nazi-occupied Hungary, Soros assisted a Hungarian official on trips to inventory the confiscated possessions of Jewish families. Soros said in 1998 he feels “no guilt at all” for his participation, because “somebody else would be doing it” if he hadn’t.
Knowing what a slimeball Soros is, I'd have to suppose that many of the valuable confiscated possessions never made it onto the Hungarian inventory; instead, they were pilfered into Soros' grubby little hands, becoming his grubstake at sewing financial mayhem around the world.
1 man 400 yrds end of problem
Check Post #54 on this thread - very, very interesting. I had to ask the same question. Seems as if someone would have been on the ball enough to scrub that BEFORE she appeared at the hearing.

But wait
Whistles only get blowed aginst Republicans meaning
Somebody shore should’ve blown on biteme and son back then for sure

“1 man 400 yrds end of problem”
Good thinking. Where’s Lon Horiuchi when you need him? Oh...nevermind...
Preferred size?
think deer season
yea, whatever happened to old Lon?
He was pretty good at picking off a mother with her baby in her arms.
Yet Soros just goes on & on
There ain’t no justice in this world. Maybe some folks aught to generate some , seein as how there is such a shortage.
bttt
Dunno about Lon. Shortage of Justice BUMP!
So he’s the undead creep who’s paying her.
If Soros denies picking her out of a line of beauty contestants and offering to back her Washington DC career—believe him.
Diane Sawyer and Sarah Palin once were contestants—earning their careers on their own, however.
Not this time.
Bingo…..… I watched/listened to her testimony from beginning to end. Give her credit…. She was an excellent witness and was incredibly well versed with amazing recall. It may just be me but in addition to her, it seems that there is a full court press going on with the exact points you raised… mocking of anyone who suggests that the Ukrainians had a huge role in the 2016 election (or dares raise the involvement of the DemonRats with the Ukrainians) while simultaneously blaming the Russians for everything past, present and future. When I started watching Hill’s testimony, I wondered why they specifically trotted her out but after watching her repeatedly work the above points/angles concerning Ukraine and Russia into her responses while deliberately steering away from others, I became convinced that she was selected for this very reason i.e. because she could do that as well as anyone all the while playing the “I’m not a partisan so you can totally believe everything I say” card. Even her throwing of occasional shade to PDJT was all part of her shtick and MO.
Adam Schiff may have set out to bring down PDJT with scampeachment but it looks like he had a secondary objective….... it seems that he believes that by being in the driver’s seat of the impeachment bus, he can hide the facts of the DemonRats involvement with Ukraine. He of course will be wrong but that won’t stop him from thinking that way……
If that crap in the NYT is right, then I firmly believe that Horowitz is WORKING FOR SOROS.
There can be no other explanation.
Horowitz is dirty with Schwartz/soros money.

"I've dealt with elitist academic morons just like Fiona Hill my entire career - I was just at the Pentagon w/ an old boss discussing how the bureaucracy is full of these "book smart" morons - she is an absolute stooge of the deep state & progressive left."
