will be the single thing that blows everything open. it s all little pieces of the puzzle here coming together. at least from what we ve been saying, it seems like they re presenting a strong case right now. melanie, to that point, next week will be a busy one for vaiters, set to hear depositions from six different officials. are lawmakers say who they want to hear from the most in this investigation going forward from the names that are there? there are a couple of people that popped up that aren t on the list. they want to hear from john bolton, former national security adviser who reportedly was at odds with mick mulvanemulvaney, didn t want to be involved with, quote, the drug deal can in regards to ukraine. they also want to hear from mick mulvaney. him going up in the press room briefing raises the question as to whether or not he s given up his executive privilege claim. there s still other depositions coming forward. when you talk to democrats on
[laughter] mick mulvaney had said that he was not interested in that position. that he liked the job he had or even consider a cabinet position, but a chief of staff role, i think he d make a good chief of staff. maybe he ll get in there and the site is pretty good. you are the gatekeeper for the president. the most interesting possibility had been jared kushner. if you brought in jared remember, what happened is the previous chief of staff was set to be on the out with jared and ivanka. but now i don t know what mulvaney s relationship is. very smart guy. well liked. heading into budget season. okay, is mika brzezinski s attack on mike pompeo, our secretary of state, exposing our double standard? that s next on the five. i don t know what s going on. i ve done all sorts of research, read earnings reports, looked at chart patterns. i ve even built my own historic trading model.
