Former National Security Council official Dr. Fiona Hill testified on Thursday that President Barack Obama had ignored the “interagency consensus” on sending weapons to Ukraine for “political” reasons.
Under questioning from Republicans, Hill admitted that she herself had been against giving weapons to Ukraine to help it fight Russian invasion, and that she had written an op-ed in the Washington Post expressing those views.
She also said that the “interagency consensus” had actually been in favor of arming the Ukrainians; she herself was not in government service at the time, but working at the liberal Brookings Institution think tank.
Hill noted that President Obama had ignored the “interagency consensus” for what she called “political” reasons. She explained that Obama was concerned that arming the Ukrainians could provoke the Russians.
On Tuesday, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who worked for Hill and remains at the National Security Council, testified that President Donald Trump’s decision to withhold aid from Ukraine temporarily went against the “interagency consensus” on Ukraine, though he also acknowledged that Trump had armed Ukraine while Obama had not.
Democrats say that Trump hurt U.S. national security by jeopardizing American support for Ukraine, and ignoring the “interagency consensus,” for what they claim are political reasons.

6 straight years of QE and a near doubling of our National Debt undermines our nation.

Chris Stevens' sister: Don't blame Clinton for Benghazi
When it comes to who was responsible for the security lapses that resulted in the death of her brother, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, the ambassador's sister and family spokesperson, Anne Stevens, is not pointing the finger at Hillary Clinton. And it is "inappropriate," she said, to make Benghazi an election issue.
"I do not blame Hillary Clinton or Leon Panetta," Stevens said in an interview published Tuesday with The New Yorker's Robin Wright, referring to the former secretaries of State and defense, respectively. "They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world. And their staffs were doing their best to provide what they could with the resources they had. The Benghazi Mission was understaffed. We know that now. But, again, Chris knew that. It wasn’t a secret to him. He decided to take the risk to go there. It is not something they did to him. It is something he took on himself."
Instead, Stevens remarked that if any entity had any culpability, it was Congress for the State Department's budget.
"Perhaps if Congress had provided a budget to increase security for all missions around the world, then some of the requests for more security in Libya would have been granted," Stevens told Wright

That's too rational and factual. It won't be the last time someone heare posts "Benghazi!" as if it were an excuse for their continual cluelessness.
Sounds like Izzy missed another QE rally. Tip: change the channel when the Fox News gold coin commercials come on.
According to Izzy Obama is responsible for starting: Social Security, Medicare, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and for the GW Bush Tax cuts.
Comparing Trump seeking foreign intervention in our elections with monetary policy is indeed idiotic.

Ah yes, the yellow bellied t swallowers must be entertained and reading just won't do the trick, eh dizzy?
Lev says Nunes was in on the Ukraine crap too. That might explain some of his wackadoodle behavior the last few weeks, knowing it was eventually going to surface.
Not paying attention?
