Fiona Hill drops a big damn clue

Fiona Hill very carefully refuses to say whether there are other Trump calls she has heard that are similar to the July 25th call with Zelensky, citing executive privilege and classified matters.

1. Well well well

Of course she has. I don't believe Ukraine is the only country in the world that has been strong armed.

5. Yes, of course. But as an aside, well well well, are you a Homicide Hunter fan?

We watched Kenda's latest show last night (had to change from the debate to watch, because hubby is obsessed with that show).

12. How do we know she's refering to Pendejo45's administration? ...

In her opening statement she stated that she's worked under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and now Pendejo45.

What if she's covering for Obama? I don't believe she is, but it is a possibility.
GW McIdiot is more likely, but Pendejo45 is hands down the highest probability.

I haven't heard her statement. Did she somehow imply it might be IQ45's administration?

2. Nah.

She's smart enough to cite that privilege without a telling bias. Take her at her word.

3. +1

4. Yeah, it's probably best to focus on the offenses at hand...

15. yes, for sure Trump's shakedown attempts are limited to Ukraine

6. Have felt all along that there are other 'calls' on that server

It was too quick/convenient that the Intel lawyers moved the info to the secure server.

Pretty obvious that the 25 July call was another one to be locked away to protect the Dotard.

That server will be golden in the Senate trial to support not only these charges, but others if the info is released to the Intel Committees.

7. Well, we know he called/talked to: China, Australia, UK, and ?? Italy/Greece?

8. If The Answer Was No, She Simply Would Have Said No

This ain't rocket science. The answer is Yes.

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. FALSE- that's a mischaracterization of her testimony

She testified she had been a part of numerous presidential calls to foreign leaders.

She was then asked to compare her experience on those other calls to the readout of Trump's July 25 call w/Zelensky. That's when she asserted privilege, which her lawyer clarified to mean that the question had implications regarding classified material relating to those OTHER presidential calls, not other calls with Trump.

MSNBC got it wrong too. Nothing nefarious or clue dropping involved.

10. Yes that is a canyon waiting to be opened

It's not a denial.

11. Is this a trick question?

Do I think Trump behaved in a selfish manner in all of his dealings?
Really?

13. 2 points....

First, privelage doesn't extend to the commission of crimes, and

Second, she also testified in closed door hearings in a scif - and there was no immunity for classified information there. So this was likely probed behind closed doors, which is why she was sensitive to the question in open hearings.

14. President shit4brains practically told us who he talked to

Remember when he called on China to find the goods in Biden on one of his campaign trail? My money is on China.
