Fiona on Fire; Hill's Testimony Debunks Steele Dossier

Timothy Birdnow

Looks like one of Adam Schiff's main witnesses just went rogue.

From World Net Daily:

Dr. Fiona Hill, who served as the White House's top adviser on Russia until July, centered a portion of her Oct. 14 closed-door testimony on the infamous dossier compiled by Steele.

The Steele dossier contained accusations of a conspiracy between the Russian government and then-candidate Donald Trump.

It was widely considered to be riddled with false intelligence, and many of its claims remain unsubstantiated even after the conclusion of the investigation.

Hill told lawmakers that Steele was desperate to "drum up business" and obtain work, which made him vulnerable to be misled by his Russian sources.

Hill goes on to explain why the "dossier" is false. She worked with Steele, and knew he was desperate to obtain clients. She thinks he probably accepted what the Russians told him because he wanted to believe it.

If the Russians loved Trump so much why did they leak to Steele?

It doesn't matter; Adam Schiff and the rest of the Dementocrats are determined to impeach this President no matter the case, and they will simply suppress any adverse information, with the help of a sycophantic, obedient propaganda outlet that calls itself the Media.

There isn't much chance this isn't going to the Senate, in my opinion. The only way this will is if public opinion polls show the issue completely tanks with the American People. If it is even lukewarm they will go forward; they have to if they want to hold on to the radicals, who now control the party platform.

Pelosi never wanted to actually impeach Trump; she was content to cast suspicion on him. That actually worked better. But the rabid dogs of the Left demand this thing go to the mat.

I rather suspect this will either be done quickly to get it out of the way well before the election (right now it's sucking all the oxygen out of the room for the Democratic candidates) OR it will be dragged out so that it goes to the Senate just before the election. They can ill-afford this thing going to the Senate next summer.

I think that witnesses do not matter in this. Nor does a lack of them. Another article at WND argued that the witness list being rejected proves the Democrats aren't interested in a fair trial and it will hurt them. Nonsense; any reasonable person already knows that. It's the great unwashed, the people who do not know anything beyond the mainstream news, who are the target audience, and they will never hear about this. The media will cover for the Democrats.

One way or another this is going to come down to the Senate.

And I'm not at all sure the GOP is going to hold the Senate. They have too many seats up for grabs next year. That is why I predict we won't have the articles sent to the Senate before the election; the Donks will have played their hand and lost. They need to take the Senate first, or at least weaken it enough to make a flipped GOP Senator or two adequate to remove the President.

Of course, the base may not be willing to wait. That is what we should encourage.

Demand a trial by the end of the year. That should be the GOP response; put up or shut up.

Of course, the GOP can screw up  a nocturnal emission. And we can't trust any of these pucillanimous pipsqueeks. Just look at how even the good ones cower. Nikki Haley, for instance, did a good job of defending Trump, but even SHE had to insert weasel words. (I've never trusted her.) I think most of the GOP would flip if it were convenient.

I once watched a nature special on bison in a Canadian park. The wolves would come, and, despite being outnumbered and overmatched by the larger prey, would sit and wait until,eventually, the skittish herbivores broke ranks and ran, allowing the wolves to bring down the slower animals. The buffalo could easily trample the wolves, but they are too frightened to do anything but think of escape. There is no reason wolves should be able to prey on bison.

The Democrats are like wolves and the GOP like the buffalo.

I am not at all sure what will happen in the Senate when this thing finally goes to trial. Trump and the GOP need a massive counterstroke to use when it does. The Donkeys will have something up their sleeves, I assure you. The CIA has been doing this kind of thing overseas for decades. There will be a psyop run at a critical moment. Trump and his supporters had best be prepared with a counterpunch.

Nonsense. The Russians told him nothing. Steele made up the entirety of the "dossier" from whole cloth.

It doesn't matter whether Republicans hold the Senate or not. It takes two-thirds. There is no chance whatever that Democrats will garner a two-thirds majority.

3 I agree Bill; Steele made it all up. This idea he was fed disinformation rings hollow; he was a professional spook, after all, and would know bullsquirt when he heard it.

I'm not entirely sure the GOP will stand firm in the Senate. It's a long shot at present, but I wouldn't put anything past that bunch of weenies. And if it goes beyond the election, who knows?  The Republicans might lose the Senate, after all. Unlikely, but it could happen.
