FULL TITLE:
Bolton wanted White House lawyers alerted to Ukrainian efforts, called it 'drug deal,' witness tells Congress
============================================
Former national security adviser John Bolton was so disturbed by the efforts to get the Ukrainians to investigate President Donald Trumps political opponents that he called it a drug deal, former White House official Fiona Hill reportedly told Congress on Monday.
Hill, the former top Europe expert in Trumps White House, testified that Bolton told her he wanted no part of the effort that involved acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, a person in the room for Hills testimony told NBC News. Bolton also was said to have referred to Rudy Giuliani as a "hand grenade."
Giuliani has acknowledged in recent interviews that he had asked a Ukrainian prosecutor for information about former Vice President Joe Biden.
The New York Times first reported details of Hill's testimony Monday night.
Trump fired Bolton in September.
Hill testified that Bolton told her to report the situation to the top lawyer at the National Security Council, John Eisenberg, according to the person in the room for Hills testimony during the closed-door hearing.
Hill told lawmakers she considered what was happening to be a clear counterintelligence risk to the United States, the person said.
Giuliani said that he was disappointed to learn about Bolton's reported comments.
"I always liked and respected John," the president's personal attorney said after hearing about the testimony. "Im very disappointed that his bitterness drives him to attack a friend falsely and in a very personal way. Its really ironic that John Bolton is calling anyone else a hand grenade. When John is described by many as an atomic bomb."
Of course he’s Deep State, I have no idea why he was ever hired.
Lindsey Graham is happy to sit there looking stupid for the next 6 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He needs to be replaced.
There is no logical reason for South Carolina to give him a FOURTH try at giving our country away with amnesty for illegal aliens.
Yeah, they always start loving people that betrays us...McCain, Romney, Comey, Scaramoochi. Now maybe Bolton, we dont know that for sure. There will be more Im positive.
We discover that Bolton was not loyal to the President...which is why he is gone.
Bolton clearly is a part of the Swamp. He could have been a much better man but he had plenty of time to chose not to be.
If you want to believe NBC News....
Serial Brain2 has some videos about Bolton being seemingly compromised by the Deep State.
For all we know, somebody in Kentucky said this and NBC attributed it to John Bolton, according to sources who told them Fiona Hill reported that somebody told her Bolton said it.
As the water in the swamp drains we see more and more eels.
[[I have no idea if Bolton ever said anything like this,]]
IF he had- EVERY single msm station would be airing it- on that you can be sure

thanx for the heads up on SB2
Hes mad he paid too much for his diabeetus meds.
Drug deal?
Bolton is flaming out ...
He’s insane.
Why did Bolton have the wind up about Giulianis investigations? Who in Ukraine was he trying to cover for?
Bolton is a damned coward. He avoided serving himself, but is wildly enthusiastic about sending others to pointless wars.
I wonder how many swampy grifters are losing their bribery payments and govenment contracts as America pulls out of Syria?
I will wager that it is YUGE $$$!!!
I’d like to hear Bolton’s reaction.
Fiona Hill, British until college age. Harvard, CFR member. Brooking institute. Bush administration, Obama administration, hawk on Russia.
How in the hell did this POS wind up working in Trump’s White House?
