Hill interjects, "Could I actually say something?" to address partisan divisions

Several Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee chose not to ask National Security Council expert Fiona Hill any questions, instead using their time to speak at length about their view of the impeachment proceedings. "Could I actually say something?" Hill said after Rep. Brad Wenstrup finished speaking. "I think that what Dr. Wenstrup said was very powerful, about the importance of overcoming hatred and certainly partisan division," she said. "I think all of us that came here under legal obligation, also felt that we had a moral obligation to do so. We came as fact witnesses."

[@gunners4129]

And some republicans did deny 2016 russian interference. Including the asswagon running the country. Rather than lump all republicans together into one outlook, this portrays the minds ability to think for oneself. Each Republican is going to have their own view and opinion. To pretend that all republicans have the same view, is categorically and completely false. This shouldve been entirely evident throughout the impeachment process by now.

[@gunners4129]

You keep telling yourself that. "She was stupid enough to claim republicans denied russian interference in the 2016 elections" If Trump did, technically a Republican did and your argument is broken. You could be saying the Republicans she referred to, never denied it.. but to put a blanket statement over the entirety of the Republican party is also categorically false. Only one of us is throwing around insults as if they carry weight in your argument. They dont. Theres evidence contradicting both sides because our government, more specifically our leader, is so wishy washy. Nothing he says will happen, does. Where's the border wall that has so much progress. Specifically even the one around Colorado, a non border state. People have testified to every argument you claim false. Theres a difference between not being able to prove something in the court of law, and it being false. This is America. We the people have a responsibility, nay, a civic duty to question our government. The citizens of this country are a critical part of the checks and balances of our democracy. Your belief does not change mine. Your argument, does not change mine. And your belittlement is not only unneccessary, but categorizes your argument into a now 4th fallacy. Trump has, and always will, rely on his following to dispute anything and everything. "I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave" as he so claims, and it wouldnt change your mind. Facts have no relevance in your argument. Only one sided views. You can continue with your close-minded rant. By all means. I dont deal in hearsay. She may have been referring to a specific party, however you lumped all "republicans" into one group. The president is a republican, is he not. So you cannot claim that republicans have never denied russian interference in the election. When the top republican has done so publicl. On record, multiple times, for anyone to look back on. Were reaching a dangerous time where people think emotions matter more than fact and that cannot be the case. Facts have to be the deciding factor in political matters.

Honestly I don’t think it’s that he is a coward, but as humans we tend to take certain stances, and when someone says something about that or questions it you tend to feel attacked and become defensive. When he says the things he said in his time it was as though he was attacking her, the other witnesses, and the democrats as being a part of some conspiracy to coup the presidency(as though a republican wouldn’t be in office) which would be treason , if someone actually tried a really tried that. So when she asks to respond he thinks she is about to be combative, but she actually partially agreed with him. Which shows how he is partially correct, but that he too is complicit in this partisan way of doing things.

[@cedricanderson2609]

Ukraine did interfere. If Chalupa didn't try to get dirt from Ukraine then testify and prove it.

[@MrFrenchtoast99]

@@cedricanderson2609 evidence?

[@cedricanderson2609]

@@MrFrenchtoast99 Actually the burden of proof is on the morons who claim that those allegations have been debunked. There have been Ukrainian officials who would like to testify to that this is true but they can't get a visa to come testify. Kent testified and has been holding up those visas for Sholken and others who have given affadavits under penalty of perjury. Hill is full of Schiff. There are documents signed by Kent that show he wanted Ukraine to not procecute AntAc. This I shows that there were implied overtures to the Ukranians that they shouldn't procecute4 certain individuals. Among them being anyone that Soros has funded. Kurt Volker wrote an article about the Ukrainian officials who had to try to save face when Trump was elected. Look up "Impeachment Surprise: How Adam Sciff validated my reporting on Ukraine" by John Soloman.

[@oliver_twistor]

@@cedricanderson2609 How can the burden of proof be on those who don't believe that Ukraine interfered in the election? Do you believe that Sweden interfered in the election? If not, you better present some evidence because there are people (at least one -- me) who believe that we Swedes did interfere. Do you hear how stupid that sounds? You can't prove that something didn't happen. But all this is besides the point. Let's assume that Ukraine did super dirty things to make Hillary President. Let's also assume that Biden and Obama was in on it. How is that in any way relevant to whether or not Trump tried to bribe Ukraine? Please explain it to me, for I don't understand. I'm not American so I can only go by how bribery laws are in Sweden. Here it's still a crime if you bribe someone or attempt to bribe someone, even if that someone is themselves guilty of a crime. Isn't this the case in USA as well? In Sweden, if that were to happen, two separate investigations would be launched. These impeachment hearings are not about Biden, they're about Trump. If Biden's corrupt, he should be punished. I think most Democrats would agree. But that doesn't absolve Trump of any guilt. Trump may very well be right regarding Biden, Barisma etc., but that doesn't make it okay for him to commit crimes. He should have gone to the police instead of committing crimes himself.
