[Fiona Hill] warned House Intelligence Committee members that a narrative adopted by some supporters of Trumpthat it was Ukraine, rather than Russia, that interfered in the 2016 US presidential electionis a fiction put forward by Russian security services.
In the course of this investigation, I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests, Hill said. These fictions are harmful even if they are deployed for purely domestic political purposes.
Here is what Fiona Hill wrote for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists about Putin in 2016well over a year before she joined Trumps National Security Council.
In the opening paragraph of her article, "Putin: The one-man show the West doesnt understand," Hill wrote: A misreading of this mannow one of the most consequential international political figures and challengers to the US-led world order since the end of the Cold Warcould have catastrophic consequences
Where do his ideas and conceptions come from? How does Putin look at the outside world? Why did he annex Crimea in 2014 and intervene in Syria in 2015? What does he know about the West? What does he think about the United States? These are all critical questions.

from Fiona's original white paper on Putin, written in 2016,a year before Hill joined Trumps National Security Council.

Photo chosen to show Hill's constant need for bodyguards and security, arguably because she is on someone's "bad woman" list.

Fiona and other professional women are constantly living with threat, and I just wanted to give one visual example of it here.
