Former national security adviser John Bolton told a former aide to President Trump on Russia to call White House lawyers to warn them about a pressure campaign on Ukraine, House investigators were reportedly told Monday.
Bolton told Fiona Hill, the senior director for Russian and Eurasian affairs, to contact the lawyer for the National Security Council and say that the president's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was involved in the efforts to pressure Ukraine into investigating Democrats, the New York Times reported Monday night.
“I am not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Bolton told Hill to tell White House lawyers, according to the testimony reported by the Times.
The former national security adviser had called Giuliani a "hand grenade who's going to blow everybody up" in a previous conversation with Hill, according to the Times.

IF true
I don’t believe a single word Fiona has to say
The reason there has been a war on Bolton is not because anyone really thinks he is a hawk, as they often claim, but because he is a stalwart opponent of transnational progressivism and an opponent of the International Court, etc.
The reason there is a war on Trump is not because of Russia but because as a proponent of national sovereignity, as a nationalist, he is an opponent of transnational progressivism, a race/gender/tribal/identity politics/group rights ideology that is a bigger threat to the US and western civilization than any nation or even jihadists.
Who then, are the supporters of transnational progressivism? Human Rights Watch, Soros, any idiot who has ever been in favor of the International Court, Merkel, hordes of Democrats, and some RINOs. Strobe Talbot of the Brookings Institution. Guess who else is part of Brookings?
Oh, that would be British-born US citizen Fiona Hill. So, what is her position on national sovereignity, the International Court, etc? Is it in line with Talbot and Brzezinski of Brookings, or is it in line with Bolton?

How much of this is fake news? I’m gonna take the wait and see road.
Okay what kind of rag is ‘the hill’?
I have a hard time believing Bolton would accuse Trump of a drug deal.
I don’t think Bolton has gone deep state. He’s just a very strong personality who puts himself ahead of the team.
I think both sides would agree this is a very negative article for John Bolton.
Has he responded yet?
The nyt et al are now running with this story.
Bolton has to say something.

Sounds like butt-hurt Scaramucci with a big fat moustache. Disgruntled ex-employees with agendas.
Bolton's been an anti-America, globalist for decades...
I think what people don't realize is that there aren't any 'America First' politicians in Washington for Trump to chose from...When they get to Washington they join the Anti-America club, or else they don't get very high on the political ladder...
You have it correct.
the “money-flow” is difficult to swim against.
much easier to be bribed with off-shore dollars than dollars here in USA
I trust Trump and Giuliani a lot more than Bolton.
“How much of this is fake news? I’m gonna take the wait and see road.”
______________
AFAIK, there hasn’t been a peep from Bolton since this story. Now the msm is running with it.
Does it make you wonder why he is silent?
IIRC, when Bolton was fired by Trump, he said that he would strike back. I guess this is his way of doing it.
<<< “I think our president needs to stop hiring traitors....” >>>
.......
Ya get what you pay for. Bolton was a NeverTrump guy from the beginning. Generally not a helpful move to hire one of them, is it?
Mitt Romney got romanced for Sec of State, at least for the purpose of cameras and window dressing for appeasing the RINO UniParty on the hill.
Tillerson was easily forgettable, a dud without a clue, but never a Trump supporter, so there’s that.
All warmongering neocons are dirty. That’s what makes them warmongering neocons. Taking on enemy personnel has been Trump’s biggest weakness by far.
I'm sure he's not happy with someone saying "he said"....and doing it behind closed doors...because the "testimony" may be true or false...or just an opinion.
I get the inkling that he told her....Go to so and so....Why are you coming to me and getting me involved with your little whatever.
