Trump-Ukraine: John Bolton ‘sounded alarm about Rudy Giuliani’s actions’
Fiona Hill testifies that Bolton called Giuliani a ‘hand grenade’
Hill says Bolton likened lawyer’s operation to a ‘drug deal’
The former US national security adviser, John Bolton, was reportedly so alarmed at a back-channel effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate Donald Trump’s political rivals that he told a senior aide to report it to White House lawyers.
The revelation of Bolton’s involvement in the effort to block a shadow foreign policy aimed at Trump’s political benefit emerged from congressional testimony given by his former aide, Fiona Hill, the former top Russia expert in the White House.
Hill, the British-born former senior director for Europe and Russia on the National Security Council, spoke to three House committees for 10 hours.According to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, Hill described a sharp exchange on 10 July between Bolton and the US ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, about the role played by Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to persuade the Ukrainian government to open investigations into Democrats, including former vice president Joe Biden.
Hill said Bolton instructed her to tell the National Security Council’s attorney that Giuliani was acting in concert with White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, in a rogue operation with legal implications.
“I am not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and Mulvaney are cooking up,” Bolton instructed Hill to tell the NSC lawyer.
Kudos to whoever bounced the name Normandy where the trump could hear it.. Any number of Americans now know something happened in Normandy (where it is don’t matter) and the Kurds stiffed the party.

I would not be surprised to find that he actually thinks something like that.

Good, but hard to “heart” it. Where’s the “angry” button?

But France surrendered; surely he prefers countries that don’t get captured?
