Bolton told ex-Trump aide to call White House lawyers about Ukraine pressure campaign
The Hill ^ | 10/14/19 | Justine Coleman

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.

Well, bless you heart!

Beyond that, I don’t even know what to say.

I’ve never seen such delusion like yours except for Leftists.

I’ll gladly discuss facts rather than personal insults. You are invited to do so as well. It’s up to you. PS you are welcome to review my FR profile and my over 40,000 posts here on FR with respect to my attitude about “libs.” Look it’s much bigger than that. I invite you to a higher level of discourse on this topic, if you really care about the future of this country and how we are giving every damned advantage to the Dems and being led over a cliff. North Korea is what turned me, then the rest fell in place.

I am still under my oath to the US Constitution.

Please do not—or ever—reply to me.

If you are going to go against Trump, you’re going to be sitting out from FR for the duration.

Fair enough. I mean it’s not like it’s not your site or anything.

I’ll just post facts about North Korea then, as I’ve always done. I have some “”Freepranslations” (free translations from the originals for FR from those languages) for example, from the major, large circulation conservative dailies in both Tokyo (“Sankei Shimbun“) and Seoul (”Chosun Ilbo”) and they are straight news reporting, not editorializing.

People can just then draw their own conclusions or weigh the status of things here in Asia. Much appreciated

You seem to be adopting the nervous-Nelly RINO attitude.

Trump’s mouth is his best asset. He’s a BULL, and mess with the bull, you get the horns.

No. I’m just consistent as I was and had been in my reporting/comment of things and criticism during Obama’s major f-up on this issue and also GWB/Condi Rice in the last two pathetic, appeasing years of Bush 43. Nothing has changed. Certainly North Korea has not changed one bit. No evidence is there to the contrary.

The headline referring to ‘what kind of drug deal’ Rudy was involved in is sourced to Fiona Hill, who claims that is what Bolton said. She has no proof that he said it, it is an allegation, intended to sow discord.

Looks like her coconspirator is Eric Ciaramella, and ultimately he goes to Alexandra Chalupa. Apparently Kellogg’s vetting process left a lot to be desired.
