federal court to determine whether national security officials could be compelled to appear n appear. that hasn t been decided yet. we know about john bolton he was in that july 10th meeting with ukrainian officials and abruptly ended the meeting when eu ambassador gordon sondland mentioned any white house meeting between president trump and president zelensky would only begin in an announcement was made about the bidens. hill also xsaid bolton told her to report that rogue effort by rudy giuliani and mick mulvaney to the national security council lawyer john eisenberg and bolton reportedly also said, i am not part of whatever drug deal rudy and mulvaney are cooking up. that brings us to acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. he could really be a key witness here, but he is refusing to comply with a subpoena.
but who are speaking out especially on ukraine, are exposing what some of them call a criminal conspiracy inside the white house. this year. also known as, quote, cooking up a drug deal. that s what mr. bolton has talked about, as he assessed this tumultuous administration. it s obviously a great honor. it s always an honor to serve our country. the headline is, bolton objected to ukraine pressure campaign, calling giuliani a hand grenade. house investigators were told on monday, quote, i am not part of whatever drug deal rudy and mulvaney are cooking up. wow. that s john bolton. he supports trump. he worked for trump. he wants trump to succeed, but bolton won t do the dirty work. and apparently he s not standing for it, either, because saying to your president or his shadow advisers are cooking up a drug deal is the ultimate indictment. which brings us full circle to the cost of donald trump s dirty

people, hill. yovanovitch. bolton for better or worse. on the one side and the trump loyalists on the other. rudy, sondland. mulvaney. if i m sizing up this case from an investigationive perspective i m looking a the career people. building this case around the non-partisan career state department diplomatic people. they are credible. they are backed up by the texts and calls. that s why i m focusing the investigation. what do we know? national security adviser the man who is supposed to be running this entire security apparatus of the country. the international relations is saying this are rogue operations going on behind my back. things i don t know i don t want to be partd of this. raising issues about this. that is the most significant part of this. there s colorful language in this. the fact that someone inside the white house is calling what mick
