Former national security adviser John Bolton called President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani "a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up," according to former Trump aide Fiona Hill.
During Monday's testimony that covered Hill's time as senior director for European and Russian affairs, she also revealed that Giuliani had been a primary catalyst in efforts from the White House to encourage Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Hill noted that Giuliani had worked closely with Gordon Sondland, an ambassador to the European Union, and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney as a rogue foreign policy operative.
"I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up," Bolton said to Hill, according to witnesses of her Monday testimony. "Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up."
Hill said Bolton directed her to notify chief White House counsel of the activity from the three men. She also described a confrontation with Sondland in which he informed her that he was in charge of dealings with Ukraine, a claim that Hill compared to Secretary of State Alexander Haig declaring himself "in control" of the U.S. government in 1981 after an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan.
Bolton: Rudy Giuliani is 'a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up'
I'd say something bad about Giuliani here, but Bolton did it for me.

Bolton?
Bolton hasn't said anything.
If he wants to refute under oath testimony, with his own under oath testimony, the House is keeping a seat warm for him.
Giuliani does seem to be doing more harm than good.

And if he does, do you think Schiffty will tell you about it?
I don't.
And just like that, Bolton was the darling of the Democratic Party.

Nope, this is just schadenfreude watching Republicans eat their own.
Republicans would leak anything they could if it supported their narrative.

Fictional cow-suer Ninny Nincompoop Nunes will tell us about it, and he's on the same Committee.
Nunes isn't there.

I've been reading that Bolton is almost as vindictive as Trump, which is saying something, and they crapped all over Bolton on his way out the door. Might prove to be a bad move in retrospect. SAD!
So...that makes it okay when Schiffty prevents that...and does it himself?
And if he does, do you think Schiffty will tell you about it?
I don't.
Fictional cow-suer Ninny Nincompoop Nunes should get to work then, because he's permitted to be there and chooses not to be.
