During today’s impeachment inquiry hearing, former Trump Russia adviser Fiona Hill testified that she feared Ukraine’s national security might have been damaged if there was a delay in military aid from the U.S.:

On Fox News, Bret Baier pointed out something that shows Hill had quite a change of heart on the issue of military aid to Ukraine in a fairly short time. Watch:

Apparently, to steal a line from John Kerry, Hill was “against it before she was for it.”
“We are running out of time to stop them. In the course of this investigation, I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests." Fiona Hill

This quite literally is damning & contradictory testimony from Fiona Hill to say the least. I think they're are too many cooks in the kitchen as it pertains to Ukraine. https://t.co/3cM6FSjlZt

She also apparently knows and once worked with Christopher Steele… yeah, THAT Christopher Steele https://t.co/E9pBMFhlJf

Hmmm, so doesn't this nugget reshape the Fiona Hill testimony. I'm sure the MGC will be poking at this a bit since under Obama she said no way to lethal aid…what changed I wonder? Bet we're gonna find out…get out the popcorn, it's going to be a wild afternoon on Capital Hill! https://t.co/ZhA03O2PXg

Hill is now trying to explain her change of position on the subject of Ukraine military aid to Republicans on the committee.
