that has been put forward by what she says are russian security services that ukraine in fact meddled in the 26000 us election when the united states from multiple security services in multiple tiers of the u.s. government has conclusively proven that it was russia that meddled in the 2016 us election she goes even further to really issue a very stark warning that it is dangerous to perpetuate this narrative because she says that russia is prepared to act again in 2020 right now russia's security services their proxies have geared up to repeat their interference in the 2020 alexion we're running out of time to stop them in the course of this investigation i would ask that you please not promote politically diverse. interests. so what really she say here if she's taking a direct swipe at president trump is that for domestic political purposes you have to remember the background of all of this rachelle was when the president was being investigated for potential collusion between his campaign in 2016 and russia so he would very much have an interest in perpetuating along with republican allies the notion that perhaps it was you crave

something that is in fiona hill's words perpetrated and propagated by the russian security services to hurt the united states and help russia. this is the headline in "the new york times" tonight. charges of ukrainian meddling a russian operation says u.s. intelligence. quote, american intelligence officials informed senators and their aides in recent weeks that russia has engaged in a yearslong campaign to essentially frame ukraine as possible for russia's hacking in the u.s. election. republicans have sought for weeks amid the impeachment inquiry to shift attention to president trump's demands that ukraine investigate any 2016 election meddling, defending that as a legitimate concern. that republican defense of mr. trump became essential to the impeachment proceedings when fiona hill, respected russia scholar and former senior white house official, added a hard critique of it at her testimony thursday. she told some of mr. trump's fiercest defenders in congress they were repeating, a quote, fictional narrative, and that it likely came from a disinformation campaign from russian security services which them

i believe our un representative karen pearce has categorically stated he wasn't a security service operativeussian propaganda machine who attacked him directly, claimed that the white helmets were working directly with al-qaeda. i never saw that, i investigate a lot of chemical attacks in syria and there was no indication that the white helmets we re indication that the white helmets were involved. i only saw them saving thousands of lives and doing a fantasticjob saving thousands of lives and doing a fantastic job and saving thousands of lives and doing a fantasticjob and changes almost solely responsible for setting them up solely responsible for setting them up and getting the funding, and it is the british and american governments who have been funding them. it is a legacy he left behind but a really sad day for humanitarians around the world and they civilian still trapped in syria. you've known him for 15 yea rs, syria. you've known him for 15 years, he said in the military. how do you think he will be remembered? i'm sure from his regiment he will be remembered very, very fondly. he w

conspiracy theory that has been widely divergent and absolutely eviscerated by the security services here in the united states and he also wanted an investigation into joe biden why would that happen or the pressure on that was stepped up to announce this investigation when joe biden started to look as if he might run for president and all those early polls suggested that in the street much up between donald trump and joe biden joe biden would when the polls of change slightly since then but that is why rudy giuliani plays such a very big part in this here's another interesting development just in the last few hours mitch mcconnell who is the democrat republican leader in the senate of course once the house has dealt with this and if it recommends impeachment proceedings it goes to a trial in the senate and mitch mcconnell has said that he thinks it's inconceivable the actual words that they would get 67 votes to remove the president from office so. he's saying that we haven't made a decision how we would go on from here but he doesn't see what's come out so far as to be enough to tip the balance and have a n

really the entity that meddled in the 2016 election, it's the invention of russian security services to hurt the united states. so to see the republicans use that, participate in that effort as their way to defend the u.s. president against impeachment, it's just -- i mean like i said what a time to be alive. you know, there's the top republican on the intelligence committee hammering away, pushing that line for the kremlin over and over again. there's also the top republican in the house kevin mccarthy. he was asked yesterday after fiona hill's testimony she explicitly warned this theory is being perpetrated and praul promulgated and he tell cnn's manu raju in response, quote, i think they did, meaning i think ukraine did meddle in the 2016 elections. and we know of course the president himself has continued to advance this theory including a long call in interview to a fox news channel this morning. we know incredibly that secretary of state mike pompeo has himself advanced this theory from russian intelligence. that ukraine is the rael entity that meddled in the election. he himself not that long ago was t
