Just as former NSC aide and Russia expert Fiona Hill was beginning to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, Politico’s Jake Sherman wondered how Republicans would react hearing Hill explain that it was just a “fictional narrative” that Ukraine interfered with the 2016 election.
today, fiona hill — a Russia expert who has worked for George W. Bush and Barack Obama — will say that the Republican theories you’ve heard about Ukraine interfering in the 2016 election is "a fictional narrative.”
And we’ll also see how Republicans react

Politico’s congressional correspondent, Kyle Cheney, also got a hold of Hill’s opening statement:
NEW: Fiona Hill is *not* going to take kindly to any suggestion Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election. From her opening statement: pic.twitter.com/xdCginXB1q

Where did anyone even get the crazy idea that Ukraine meddled with the 2016 election? Maybe from … Politico?

Are Sherman and Cheney calling their own publication fake news?
Your own publication reported that Ukraine extensively meddled in the 2016 election. https://t.co/Z1YjM2jfVD

Incredible how upsetting #TheResistance finds this piece by @kenvogel and @loydstern, probably because it comes before the Inauguration, from @Politico, and it hasn’t been —to my knowledge— repudiated by either author or @Politico. Happy to see pointers if either reporter did so. https://t.co/uK2XtBzuuU

How are we supposed to take you people seriously?

Are you really this dumb? You're own publication is the one who released the story about the Ukrainian interference in our elections. Now it's just a conspiracy theory? You people are frauds.
