Former White House Russia specialist spoke at the Principles First meeting, where she said ex-president ‘idolises’ Russian leader
Donald Trump “would have lost his mind completely” at his summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, the former White House Russia specialist Fiona Hill said, if the Russian president had simply admitted he did in fact interfere on Trump’s behalf in the US election two years before.
Trump, Hill said, refused “to believe that Russia tried to tip the scales to his benefit. And if Putin had actually said to him at some point, ‘No, Donald, I did try to interfere in the election,’ I think he would have lost his mind completely.
“Because what would he have done about that? He’s trying to push back against this and the conclusion of course is that no, Russia didn’t do that at all.”
Hill, a British-born academic and analyst now chancellor of Durham University, was a deputy assistant to the president in the Trump administration. She was speaking on Saturday at the Principles First Summit in Washington DC.
Putin is smart, in that he willingly lets the orange melonhead narcissist think he’s actually in charge.
*smarter than Trump
Doesn’t matter at all. The right ignores facts and the cult only listens to dear orange leader.
Yeah. This woman sounds like every other liberal; attempting to find a way to logic or reason around fascism.
Sometimes, people are piece of shit sociopaths and wanna watch the world burn if they can’t have it all… Sometimes, even if they can have it all.
No way. You underestimate his fans. This would otherwise imply there are morales at play and we all know they don’t have any. They pride themselves on being cunts.

Are you talking about Fiona Hill? She was a key witness at his impeachment inquiry and has been a highly vocal critic of Trump, even while he was president. She’s a civil servant, and pretty sure she’s not a republican
I’m talking about them in general.
Would have damaged his ego. He doesn’t give a damn about what damage it did to the faith in our democratic process and elections.
Who cares what someone would’ve done in theory scoring to a third party opponent?

Fiona ‘did I mention I come from working class town in England “ Hill. Made a career speculating was the Kremlin may or may not do.
If what you were saying had a point, what would it be?
Is there an adult around that perhaps could help you with inference ?
I’m actually from a working class town in England and I’m not sure what you’re getting at?
Well you wouldn’t, would you ?
