Hill condemned GOP members for propagating the conspiracy theory that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 presidential elections, stressing that Russia was the culprit.
Reacting on MSNBC, Figliuzzi said that Hill's"powerful" testimony undermined Putin's efforts to shift the blame for election meddling away from Moscow. Blaming Ukraine is"exactly what Putin wants," he explained."Putin took a hit today."
But Figliuzzi added that the setback likely won't go unanswered."Let me tell you something, we're in for a withering assault because of the success of these hearings," he predicted. "You're going to see the GOP and the White House and the attorney general at this and the Senate—led by Lindsey Graham—put out an all-out assault on anyone that's trying to get to the truth," he continued.
"And they will be aided and abetted by the Russian intelligence service who will step up the game on social media with bots and trolls and posts that continue the Russian narrative," Figliuzzi added."We need to hunker down because it's coming, and it's coming in a big way in the next few weeks." Fiona Hill, the National Security Council’s former senior director for Europe and Russia, testifies before the House Intelligence Committee in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill November 21, 2019 in Washington, D.C.
