Doubtful that Fiona Hill, after working for Trump successfully for 2.5 years without being fired, is going to deliver a bombshell.

(To clarify, we already knew that “ Giuliani and Amb. Sondland circumvented National Security Council and normal White House process to run shadow Ukraine policy, ” Read, for example, Talking Points Memo.)

Her testimony is just gonna be another brick in the wall.

But our wall is getting built.

The White House will certainly tell her not to testify. As they did with Sondland.

But Hill gets to choose: will she stand with Trump and hide behind the privilege claim? Or will she buck him and testify? It’s her choice.

If she chooses to testify, that will be huuuuuuge. No matter what she says.

If she's not a rabid partisan, she'll probably testify truthfully. Nothing more but no less either.

I agree also that getting this testimony is huge for us!

will have 4 sides, concertina wire, flood lights, guard towers with 24 hr guards, and a very nice but overpriced commissary with chips and toothpaste and whatnot.

He can't stop her.

I mean, technically he can't stop anyone that wants to testify. He could fire them, but that wouldn't stop them from testifying.

So many pieces and so many different people involved. A lot more people are going to Federal Prison.
