The words are still resonating in my heart and soul...Dr. Hill said to the GOP panel, stop spreading "fictional narrative" of Ukraine, not Russia, meddling in U.S. elections.
Then crickets...then fear...then "humina" - how quaint!
Quote:
This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves,” Hill said in her opening statement during a public hearing. Hill testified on Nov. 21 in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
I have added this to my personal collection and have watched it a few times to further appreciate the tone and tenor of the truth as it emanates from her intelligent mouth. And, although she was sitting, it felt as though she was standing the whole time she testified, with "shield and sword" ever at the ready, challenging any who would dare defy her:
"come on you dolts, you spineless worms, do your worst. I stand with shield and sword in hand to defend that which I hold dear until my last breath. Come at me, but be forewarned that mere death will not vanquish my spirit, but only
manage to fuel it's resolve...Go ahead, have at it."
It was indeed a challenge, and what took place was a pure joy to watch. Truth made an appearance that day. But no ordinary run-of-the-mill truth, stalwart but somewhat meek.........NO, Fuck That...........
This was Big Hairy Balls Truth, This was Guns of the Navarone Truth, This was Fuck You Bitches, Remember The Alamo Truth!
This was "Go Ahead, Set My Hair on Fire Truth"
Bravo Dr. Hill, Bravo!

President Obama on Election Interference:
Although, according to the New York Times and CNN, Obama is a Conservative now... so take what he says for what it's worth.

Brilliant response to an "attack" statement submitted by Rep. Wenstrup, who's aim was geared toward Trump's base (and Trump) and not meant for a response from anyone, least of all from Dr. Hill; watch what she had to say, even I was surprised at such obvious intelligence and strategic brilliance:
Needless to say, she gained his respect.
One more thing: Reps. Turner and RATcliffe left the dais without interviewing Dr. Hill. An astounding addition to her testimony, on the fly mind you, that
is a testament to her quick thinking and high intellect. The roaches [sic] scattered when the light was clicked on. Making mention of it was quite the
strategic move on her part. Why did they run? "How unfortunate" she says.
But not before she compliments Dr. Wenstrup (straight out of Dale Carnegie's book, How to Win Friends and Influence People).
She turned his "statement" on a dime, "influenced" his respect and brought it back to "on topic" all in one fell swoop. At .50 seconds she begins by "agreeing" with him, within 10 seconds she stopped him from leaving the dais, and quietly slipped in the legal and moral obligations clause, "we came as fact witnesses" gently rebuked the notion that she, or her colleagues, were there to "hang" Trump. But to testify as to what they witnessed.
Then she restated their purpose at 1:16...and then at 1:42 "I don't believe there should be any kind of interference in our elections. I think it was unfair for people to "call" the election and to make attacks on candidate Trump, and then president Trump. This has put a huge cloud over this presidency and our whole democratic system."
At 2:02 she brings it 'round full circle and gets her point across:
Quote:
"That's actually why as a non-partisan person, and as an expert on Russia
and an expert on Vladimir Putin and on the Russian security services, I wanted to come in and serve the country to see if I could help. I heard president Trump say that he wanted to improve relations with Russia. I believe we have to. We can't be in this unending confrontation with Russia. We have to find a way to stabilize our relationship and to professionalize that relationship, as well as to stop them from doing what they did in 2016 and again in 2020. This is really the crux of the issue, that I and others are trying to put across and I think that you've put across very eloquently."
Text book Carnegie, a book that was published in the 1930's and still resonates today in 2019, brilliantly put to the test and executed by a professional diplomat. Compliment your adversary; agree, to some extent, with his statement or point of view, but interject your thoughts always acknowledging his own; then bring it full circle to the main objective.
Bravo Dr. Hill, Carnegie himself would give you a standing ovation.

This is an EXPERT in the field, not your run-of-the-mill RWED contributor.
(that includes me).
But believe what you will.
