The footage of @RepMikeTurner
 explaining to Fiona Hill that hearsay is basically worthless should be shown to every law school evidence class. #ImpeachmentInquiry

They should also lock Schiff in a room and make him watch it looped for 24 hours straight.

Can anyone imagine trying to have a relationship with this Hill woman!   OMGGGGGGG

@Bigun

Well,her face is a little too "mannish" for my tastes,but I DO love intelligent women. Both beauty and intelligence fade,but intelligence lasts a lot longer and determines how hard someone is to get along with.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Hill looks like a professional blind date.

@Hoodat

Yeah,I know what you mean. Her intelligence and self-confidence probably wouldn't help her with most of the men that responded,either.

Will never understand WHY? Trump did not 'clean house' when he took office. Seems that 3 out of 4 people working for him want to see him hanged.

@240B

Because it is literally impossible to fire all the existing foreign service officers. Like them or not,they all have decades of experience with the countries they are assigned to,and have VERY deep local contacts there.

If you were to fire them all at once,it would take decades to restore order,and in the end,you would STILL end up with the same "Old Boy/Old Girl" type of network you have now. The only things that would be changed would be the names and faces.

It ain't pretty,but reality is rarely pretty.

Dr. Filibuster, Hill.

And will somebody remind me that Ukraine is vital to US national security?

I wonder what private business most of these career bureaucrats have?

Cheers for Rep. Hurd of TX.

It's not just the foreign service folks that are hard to root out.  Lib Presidents and their cabinet officials put people in mid level GS and low level SES jobs that fly below the radar no matter who is president to ensure the Progressive agenda goes forward.

It's that way at the Pentagon...DoJ EPA etc etc

I recall one night on Mark Levin's show he was recounting his time as Meese's Chief of Staff and they had a lawyer at Justice that had been around since the Johnson administration.

The reality is, the best Trump can do is to plant seeds,  it may take some time, after Trump leaves office, for them to bear fruit.  That's the reality.

  Yes,I know,but THEY can be rooted out because the systems they rule over are more rigid.

Rooting out the prima donnas with political connections in the military is what would be hard to do because the military has a VERY rigid rule against questioning orders by their civilian bosses.

If a President like Trump  would just give orders to the Pentegram to retire General or Admiral so and so,it would be done instantly,but nothing would really change because of that one man being dismissed.

Frankly,I don't know the answer,but I do know that something MUST be done.

What I DO know is that there MUST be a blanket clause that prevents senior officers from retiring and then getting board seats or other important positions with ANY company,corporation,or think tank that has connections to the federal govenrment,or government contracts. That MUST be Item Number 1 on the menu if there is to be any hope of cleaning up the mess in DC and ending our senseless involvment in foreign wars.

It's not as easy to get rid of them as you think.  Once you pass the probationary period in a GS job...usually 90 days...you're almost impossible to fire thanks to the arcane hiring and firing rules and the government employees union.

Still baffled that House Dems withdrew subpoena to top Bolton aide, did not subpoena Bolton. Testimony clearly a decision for courts. Could have been weeks into process now. But Dems balked. Gives impression they're in a rush.

Odd how that sort of thing seems to happen often with the Dims,ain't it? Especially when you consider their hard drives seem to wipe themselves accidentially,and under oath they claim to know nothing about anything.

Any of you ever overheard both sides of a phone conversation that wasn't on a speaker?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Schiff says when Republicans use phrase 'Russia hoax,' they are denying Russian interference. Untrue. Obvious fact: When Republicans use phrase, they are referring to accusations, from Schiff and others, that Trump campaign conspired/coordinated with Russia in 2016.
