Fiona Hill (born October 1965) is a British-born American foreign affairs specialist and national security official specializing in the former Soviet Union and Russian and European affairs.

In April 2017, she was appointed by U.S. President Donald Trump as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for European and Russian Affairs on his National Security Council staff.

Fiona Hill is prominently mentioned in this wierd piece by uber-neocon Ben Wittes (Comey’s pal) from 2015.

"this is not the first time the NYT would have fabricated a story."

The question is have they ever NOT fabricated a story.

Michael Caputo commented that the writer (whose identity he said he believes he knows but won’t disclose yet for legal reasons) cleverly planted hints pointing at other members of the dministration to cover up his/her tracks ... so we should be cautious ... having said that, people’s writing style is one key and with so much prior work being on the web ... they sometimes “trip themselves up” unknowingly ... this gal is hardly a “Senior Administration Official”, however ... she’s more like one of the myriad lieutenants working around the “colonels and generals”, to use a military metaphor ...

"Read the twitter thread, they have really put it together"

It would seem so. For someone who is potentially a foreign policy advisor it seems the vetting processes are not up to snuff. Even if she isn't the anonymous writer, she is certainly a security risk.

This isn't the first time that I have been of the opinion that the background checking and screening has been sorely lacking in the Trump WH.

Whoever wrote the anonymous letter seems to have copied the wording of US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman or actually is Jon Huntsman. But the NYT also could have just used Huntsman’s words to divert attention from themselves, which I think is a plausible answer.

I honestly expect if we ever find out, it will be Hillary or a plant, enabled by the Times. Why should I trust a modern newspaper to do anything but lie?

I can’t seem to find the original thread. There is a ton on that feed. Please can anyone link to the initial tweet?

Cool research. All signs point to her.

Way back in seventh grade history, my teacher said that the longer your title, the less important you are. LOL

I’m hoping they will begin to move against these people soon. I know there is strategy and timing involved but I’m the type of person who reads the end of the book first and still enjoys reading the entire book. We haven’t been allowed to read the end of this book and there are only two possible endings.

1. The good guys win
2. The bad guys get away and there will be a sequel

I’m too old for the second option

It was written by the NYT, based on interviews with members of the administration.

I'm beginning to think that's correct.

We have Mike Pence terminology and now Fiona Hill phrasing.

Of course she's not and the New York Times has quite a history of "high level administration" official-wanna be's as "sources" and prints this kinda crap whenever it suits their purpose.

Many here on FR predicted this is all gonna blow up in the NY Times and Democrats faces. It's going to sooner than perhaps we think it will.

It’s either a Times editor putting together a phony story from his anti-Trump sources, or a Deep State insurrectionist compiling quotes from his Trump-hating fellow Deep Staters.

I agree that it was written by a Times employee, reporter or editor, but I think the quotes could be entirely fabricated. Remember Jayson Blair?
