Fiona Hill: Ukraine election meddling is a "fictional narrative" told by Russia
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/impeachment-hearing-11-21-19/index.html
Former White House Russia expert Fiona Hill will tell the House Intelligence Committee that the idea that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 US presidential election is a "fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services."
Here's what she will say, according to a copy of her prepared remarks:
"Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did," she will say.
Hill will continue:
""This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves."

And I changed "Russiapublicans" to "Russpublicans" because I think it rolls off the tongue better. And it also has the auditory double meaning of "Ruse-publicans" at the same time.

(12,483 posts)Dr. Hill is an expert on all things Russian and Ukrainian. We can be sure that Russian operatives that live and work near where she works, and near her home, heard her testimony this morning.
We can also be sure these Putin thugs are not going to be pleased Dr. Hill put the spotlight on this hoax.
