Former Trump adviser who testified to Ukraine pressure campaign said she was victim of harassment

Fiona Hill, President Donald Trump's former top adviser on Russia and Europe, told House investigators that her time in the Trump administration was marked by death threats, "hateful calls" and "conspiracy theories," a harassment campaign she said was revived after it was learned she would cooperate with the impeachment inquiry, according to a transcript of her deposition released Friday.

"I received, I just have to tell you, death threats, calls at my home. My neighbors reported somebody coming and hammering on my door," she told investigators in closed-door testimony of her time in the White House. "Now, I'm not easily intimidated, but that made me mad."

The transcript confirmed NBC News' reporting that Hill told Congress that Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, sidestepped the National Security Council and typical White House process to advocate for a shadow policy on Ukraine, while revealing new details about how Giuliani's work undercut and derailed the diplomats charged with overseeing Ukrainian-U.S. relations.

Hill, who transitioned out of her role in July before officially leaving her job in early September, testified that the ousting of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was a turning point for her. Yovanovitch, she said, was subject to a similar campaign of harassment and "defamation," which she credited to Giuliani.

... The transcript confirmed NBC News' reporting that Hill told Congress that Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, sidestepped the National Security Council and typical White House process to advocate for a shadow policy on Ukraine, while revealing new details about how Giuliani's work undercut and derailed the diplomats charged with overseeing Ukrainian-U.S. relations.....

while revealing new details about how Giuliani's work undercut and derailed the diplomats charged with overseeing Ukrainian-U.S. relations...........

It looks like Giuliani is going to have to defend himself. Perhaps a few Republicans will see this as being very unpatriotic and against the best interest of the U.S.A. If, and I say if, 3 or 4 Republican senators see this as illegal, and against the interests of the U.S.A. (which those senators have sworn to protect and its Constitution, then the show becomes more interesting.)
... Clearly Giuliani did not act on his own, and if he had orders from Trump, then perhaps, just a few senators will see Giuliani as the assistant of the big boss who gave the orders, and see the traitor for what he is...Trump the traitor, or the Big Boss.

Then the show becomes much more interesting. We will see how far this goes. Will Rudy get thrown under the huge truck that is coming? or...will he be placed on the railroad tracks and tied down as the long train with 5 huge engines comes up on that single track comes down that single track toward poor Rudy?

...Please, Please, Please, tune in tomorrow for the next episode of ...Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, are you going to be gooey? Kinda slimy after the train runs you over and there is nothing left? ..

Or will it be Rudy gets taken off the track by the sheriff who comes and saves him, and convinces him that he had better testify against the "Big Boss" who gave the orders. By making .."a deal" Rudy gets a light sentence of 5 years, and testifies against the "Big Boss and the entire Gang of Thugs and the lights come on and the movie is over ....I sure hope the Big Boss and Gang of Thugs goes to jail...???
...The movie is still being filmed...............(Oh, I really don't care if Rudy Patudy gets a deal, as long as the Big Boss and Gang of Thugs all go to jail..., yes a different jail than Rudy Patudy.....

........?
