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.

"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."

Time has explained it: When Russia set out to interfere with the 2016 election, it went all out.

Over the course of the election, a wide-ranging group of Russians probed state voter databases for insecurities; hacked the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee; tried to hack the campaign of Sen. Marco Rubio and the Republican National Committee; released politically damaging information on the internet; spread propaganda on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram; staged rallies in Florida and Pennsylvania; set up meetings with members of the Trump campaign and its associates; and floated a business proposition for a skyscraper in Moscow to the Trump Organization.

The goal, as determined by the U.S. intelligence community and backed up by evidence gathered by Special Counsel Robert Mueller: To damage the Clinton campaign, boost Trump’s chances and sow distrust in American democracy overall.

The details of these efforts have come out in drips and drabs since the 2016 election ended, with information revealed by a memo from intelligence agencies, court documents filed by Mueller, testimony from Trump associates in court and before Congress and investigative news reports.

The FBI alerted states to the threat about two months before the 2016 election when hackers accessed voter registration databases in Illinois and Arizona. Then in January 2017, the government issued its first report on election interference and blamed Russia for the hacks. However, DHS did not tell top state officials that their systems were scanned by hackers until nearly a year after the election.

---

Quote:

---

The prosecutors offered up more details, including saying that hackers stole information on 500,000 voters from an unnamed state’s website, including names, addresses, partial Social Security numbers, dates of birth and driver’s license numbers.

I take it from lack of anyone's response that she saw and heard nothing except ... as usual ... secondhand gossip.

I thought Liberals only went to college to study racial inequality and gender studies.

Even though she chose not to get into STEM, I for one think it's great that Fiona got her Doctorate in Putin instead. That's why she's making the big bucks now and not asking you if you'd like cream in your Starbucks coffee while bitching about "muh Patriarchy" on Twitter until 3:00AM.

For the record. Jack posts mostly opinions because he can't site the media. This is due to the fact they, and the facts they report, exist in an alternate reality from Jacks. Still, he does quote the media when it suits him.

Question, does Jack realize if his perceptions are based on lies or denials of the facts, that his perceptions are incorrect?

It would put Trump’s impeachment process squarely in the media spotlight in the run-up to the early voting states but also would ground several key 2020 contenders in Washington even though their presence as jurors will have little to no impact on the outcome. All signs right now point to the GOP-dominant Senate acquitting President Trump.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who faces his own reelection fight this year, is practically licking his chops at the thought of Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, along with independent Bernie Sanders, sidelined from the campaign trail in the weeks leading up to the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3 and the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 11.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg is already leading the pack in Iowa, and he and Joe Biden and are nipping at Warren’s heels in New Hampshire.

Democrats, Cornyn told reporters late last week, are already “squandering” their opportunity to focus on the issues voters care about most with their march toward impeachment.

I wrote to Diane Feinstein before authorization of use of force (Iraq), urging her to vote "no". I got back a smarmy form email saying that, well, as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, she had information that I didn't have, and therefore her decisions were just way more intelligent than mine. What an ass. Feinstein, IMHO, has NEVER been a "liberal", "progressive", "lefist" or whatever you want to call it, in terms of "national security". Neither has Reid. And Pelosi is pretty 50-50.
