Right now, Hill is letting everyone have it.
I grabbed her speech from the closed caption C-Span readout. I added punctuation for readability.
The question was an attempt to set Sondland up as a liar.
She said, no, actually, he wasn't lying. She now understands what was going on.
Sondland was pushing a political agenda.

Here is the moment as a recording.
You can see the close-caption readout I was using wasn't perfect, but it wasn't bad.
This is where Fiona Hill tells it like it is:
"Sondland was involved in a political errand."
And who put him in charge?
Trump.

In a normal world, this week would be the end.
Trump would be preparing his resignation.
Now for the bad news⤵️ I prefer @FiveThirtyEight's polling aggregate because it prevents me from focusing on outlier polls, and shows trends.
Is there hope?
Yes . . .

@FiveThirtyEight There is more to come. There will be Articles of Impeachment.
Schiff and Pelosi have handled this entire inquiry so brilliantly that I feel certain the Articles will have a powerful impact.
And we have Nov. 2020.
Anti-Trump forces prevailed in 2018. It can happen again.

@FiveThirtyEight I'm sure we haven't seen all the evidence (what I meant by more to come).
I hold out hope that something will finally move the Republicans.
Even if not, there's no way he can win reelection with these numbers⤵️

@FiveThirtyEight Good question.
When I grabbed the screenshot I cut off the dates (I got it from the 538 website)
The two low peaks were Aug. 2017 and Dec. 2017.
Aug. 2017 was the date of George Papadopoulos' sentence memo, and Dec. 2017 Flynn pleaded guilty. . .

@FiveThirtyEight It looks like there was another downward dip in Jan. 2019, which I think was a government shut down. (Right?)

@FiveThirtyEight Cheating cannot overcome 8 percentage points nationwide.
Also, the point of Active Measures was to cause people to lose faith in democracy.
Saying often enough "Trump will win by cheating" will cause large numbers of people to say, "Why bother voting?"
