NEW: Fiona Hill is *not* going to take kindly to any suggestion Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election. From her opening statement:
Hill is the closer for Democrats, a no-nonsense Russia expert who worked closely w/ Bolton and raised alarms about Sondland and Giuliani. The rundown, w/@AndrewDesiderio

politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
Hill, who notes she was initially hired to Trump admin by General Flynn, calls out “some of you” on the Intel Committee (read: some of the Republicans) as casting doubt on Russian interference in 2016. politico.com/news/2019/11/2…
Missed this on the first read: Hill takes a barely concealed shot at her former boss Bolton - whose lawyer says he has info relevant to impeachment.
NUNES rehashes the allegation that a Dem operative colluded with Ukrainian officials to "smear the Trump campaign" -- which is precisely what Hill has attacked as furtherance of Russian propoaganda by deflecting from Russia's large-scale interference effort.
HILL emphasizes that all of Trump's senior advisers told him there was *zero* validity to the theory that Ukraine has the hacked DNC server.

But she says he listened to Rudy Giuliani's views instead.
Hill says Bolton told Volker not to meet with Giuliani.

JUST IN: Judiciary Committee notices Monday hearing to receive impeachment evidence, next step in drafting articles.
IMPORTANT: The committee will receive presentations from the Intelligence Committee (read: Ukraine) as well as its own counsel (read: Mueller/obstruction).

It's further indication that obstruction of justice is still in play.
ALSO IMPORTANT: Judiciary Committee hearing on Ukraine/Mueller will come the same day the IG releases its report about the origins of the Russia investigation.

Going to be a hell of a day.

NEW: Jerry Nadler said he wouldn't "take any shit" at an impeachment hearing expected to feature a lot of it.

But Democrats are exhaling after a smooth — even substantive — debate on impeachable offenses.

Analysis w/ @AndrewDesiderio

politico.com/news/2019/12/0…
There were plenty of heated moments, but lawmakers largely kept their outrage within their allotted five minutes and kept loud squabbling to a minimum. Nadler shepherded the hearing past potential sideshows. politico.com/news/2019/12/0…
In short, Democrats feel like they got what they wanted out of this hearing — an uninterrupted chance to make their case that Trump committed impeachable offenses, lots of good sound bites and no circus or self-inflicted wounds. politico.com/news/2019/12/0…

JUST IN: Judiciary Committee Republicans have requested a "minority hearing day," a rarely exercised privilege to call their own slate of witnesses.

Collins has previously said he wants Schiff to testify but it's unclear who they'd formally request.
Just now in the hearing, COLLINS moves to call Adam Schiff to testify. Committee now voting to table (read: kill) the motion,which will certainly pass on party lines.
On the "not taking shit" front, Nadler has so far taken only a minimal amount of shit compared to what has been forecast.

The Ukraine cable discusses the upcomiby then President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, who will be addressing Congress on Sept.18/14.

Militar y aid was previously requested from #America to Ukraine in order to defend itself from #Russia
🔅3
Poroshenko to most likely request military aid again, even though at that time Obama refused.
Ukraine's defense is not an option despite the fact that in 1994, Ukraine voluntarily surrendered its entire nuclear arsenal.

Fiona Hill to target Republican argument Ukraine influenced 2016 election. "This is a fictional narrative perpetrated and propagated by Russian security services... I refuse to be part of an effort to legitimize an alternative narrative that the Ukrainian govt is a US adversary..
"President Putin and Russian security services operate like a Super PAC. They deploy millions of dollars to weaponize our own political opposition research, false narratives. When we're consumed by partisan rancor, we cannot combat these external forces as they seek to divide us"
.@DevinNunes criticizes Hill before her opening statement, noting 2018 Republican House Intel report that found "Russia conducted cyberattacks on US," "Russian-state actors and 3rd-party intermediaries were responsible for dissemination of docs, comms stolen from US pol orgs"

RUSSIA CONNECTS

The West, being overtaken by China & those allied with it has repeatedly signaled its intent to weaken those rising to threaten its continued ability to be World Control HQ.

The East has largely until recently hoped for a change of heart & a return to sanity.
RUSSIA CONNECTS

The East doesn't wish conflict, it wants stability, strong relationships, security & trade.

The West has shown time after time its malign intention, to disrupt & destabilize, creating chaos, organizing provocations, sanctioning, sabotaging, ever threatening war.
RUSSIA CONNECTS

Color revolutions have become the West’s favored means of undermining nations & replacing governments.

The fomented insurrection occurring now in Hong Kong is another example of its cynical attempt to generate chaos with a view to furthering western aims.

#BREAKING: In new court filing, it was revealed that Konstantin Kilimnik...WAS IN DC FOR THE INAUGURATION.

The Manafort and Gates associate, with ties to Russian Intelligence, met with Manafort about the "Russia-Ukraine peace plan."

#REDFLAG: In court transcripts, Andrew Weissman, senior Mueller prosecutor, suggested Konstantin Kilimnik's relationship w/ Manafort & Gates...TIES DIRECTLY TO #CONSPIRACY/COLLUSION.
