Anybody watching 60 Minutes?

Fiona Hill was just interviewed. Frankly, I am disappointed beyond belief with Fiona. She sounded like she was actually defending the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief despite some jabs. . . I'd be interested in hearing anybody else's take on this. I don't get it at all.

And smarty enough to be direct and factual without insulting.

And she acknowledged that Trump is vindictive and she is smart enough how to steer clear.

She also talked about the death threats she received.

I am not disappointed in her - I admire her and respect her.

she also said his constant questions (because of his lack of experience) cause disruptions

She said it's deeply disturbing that people are trying to bring down career civil servants, especially now during a public health crisis.

But other than that she does seem to be defending him, or at least trying not to get fired perhaps.

The comment she made about Democrats pushing Trump's illegitimacy was definitely "whataboutism". Her stock with me dropped like the Republican stock market.
