Time: Thursday morning, nine a.m.
Fiona Hill: British-born American foreign affairs specialist and a former official at the National Security Council specializing in the former Soviet Union, Russian and European affairs. She's the one who gave us the Bolton 'drug deal' and 'hand grenade' quotes. She will be giving testimony tomorrow morning that is likely to be a bit of a contrast from what we heard from Sondland today.
On Sondland being a counterintelligence risk (and a massive egotist)

Also appearing Thursday is David Holmes, the State Department guy (counselor for political affairs, Ukraine) who let everyone know about overhearing Sondland's restaurant phone call.

Are these people last in line this week, when we are gasping and just about out of steam and attention span? Yep.
Are they boring and skippable? NOPE!
