The one thing that impressed me from the outset about Dr. Fiona Hill is that she has a very formidable intellect. Extremely impressive. Joe, I hope you’re reading this and you bring her back.

She struck me as the kind of woman that scares the shit out of Republican men and gives me a little thrill in the process. Even the name is bad ass.

[“Hill will describe the origins and growth of deep, geographically concentrated opportunity gaps, and show how they have fueled the rise of populism at home and abroad.”]

That should set some people thinking.

Another smart, “over-prepared” woman.

Ted Cruz asks Sally Yates if the FBI was surveilling any other candidates for president. Her answer reminds the public of Russia’s efforts to help Trump. Yates: “No… there was no information that the Russians were working to aid another candidate other than Donald Trump."

Will be a good and important book, but unlikely to be a best seller. Which is OK.

"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,” Hill said. “In the course of this investigation, I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests.”

When it comes to the GOP, there’s a vanishingly-small line between “useful idiots” and mere “idiots”.

It’s all a matter of perspective.

I’m about ten thousand times more likely to buy this book and read it than to read Sean spicers book for free.

Ted Cruz is such a dumbass for someone who thinks always that he is the smartest guy in the room.

Fucking idiot - you never do that if you don’t know the answer you are going to get.

It sounds like a really interesting book, informed by expertise which no Republican values enough to bother reading.
