Fiona Hill is an anti-Trump liar

In her opening statement Fiona Hill said:

"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. This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves."

This is lie as Rep. Nunes pointed out:

Nunes also says contrary to former NSC official Fiona Hill's accusation that some members of the Intelligence Committee don't believe Russians meddled in the election, Republican members published a 240-page report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election in March 2018. pic.twitter.com/L7uU255Upw

It's a lie designed to help the Democrats because we know that Ukraine did interfere in the 2016 election to help Hillary Clinton and no one has ever said the Russians didn't.

The Ukraine has convicted a number of people for deliberately interfering in the US 2016 election by releasing dirt about Trump's campaign manager, Manafort.  It's true that that attempt actually boomeranged and helped Trump because Manafort had to resign and his replacement, Kelly Ann Conway, was a key reason why Trump won.  But the intent of the Ukrainians who were in the Ukraine government was clearly to help Hillary and hurt Trump.

That's why Trump asked Zelensky to investigate Ukraine interference in the 2016 election long before Biden's name came up in their telephone call.

But Democrats only care about foreign election interference if it's in favor of Republicans so they want to ignore what the Ukrainians did just as they want to let illegal immigrants vote.

By supporting that talking point Fiona Hill showed that we can't trust anything negative that she says about Trump but we can be fairly sure that anything that she is forced to testify to that helps Trump is likely to be true.

An example of that is that she admitted that Obama refused to provide military aid to Ukraine even though the infamous "interagency"--all the policy wonks like Vindman who think they should run foreign policy not the President--said that the US should provide aid.  Hill said Obama did so for political reasons because he was worried that Putin wouldn't like it.

This is helpful to Trump because it shows that what he did, temporarily withhold aid against the wishes of the "interagency", was done by Obama. Of course Obama's case is even worse since Obama never provided the aid to Ukraine while Trump only held up the aid for a few weeks.
