DOJ decision not to investigate after whistleblower complaint referred more alarming

NEW: Fiona Hill told House impeachment investigators that John Bolton ordered her to notify a WH lawyer that Giuliani was working with Mick Mulvaney on a rogue operation with legal implications

(Also was key behind Section 702 stuff just ruled a 4A violation.)

Hill said Bolton instructed her to talk to NSC lawyer John Eisenberg. A spox for Bolton didn’t immediately respond to request for comment

so nsc lawyer john eisenberg knew everything when cia general counsel brought him whistleblower notification, before complaint

And Eisenberg has very quietly been the key person in this cover-up (and a key player in the cover-up of Russia). He's the guy who decided to place the transcript onto the TS server to hide the crimes.

Also, Hill focused attention on Mulvaney. I'll get into why that's so important. But it's the detail that will lead Republicans to vote to convict.

Hill also said Bolton made the following statements to her

1. Aw man, look at all this delicious deceit and sneaky shit, served up hot and tasty by our DR. HILL

Well well, sup MULVANEY



WOW YOU PACK OF LOSER LAMEBRAINS, CHEEZUS

[Jarqui]

2. Bolton: "Giuliani's a hand grenade who's going to blow everybody up"

and "I'm not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and Mulvaney are cooking up"

Earth to Liz Cheney and Leningrad Lindsey: how do you spin that .. credibly?

Rhetorical question.

[triron]

3. Did Eisenberg commit a crime?

Looks like he was in on the coverup.

[OldRed2450]

13. It looks that way to me.

This is getting good.

[grantcart]

22. And Mulvaney is implicated

[3Hotdogs]

4. Does this mean there is a pubic hair's width of honor with Bolton?

[phleshdef]

9. Bolton is a total asshole but he isn't incompetent or mentally challenged.

He will always be a piece of shit for the roles he played in our most recent wars. But he isn't stupid. He isn't about to sacrifice his own clout or legacy to someone like Trump, whom I doubt he ever respected to begin with. Bolton probably went in there thinking he could take control and get Trump on the neocon track but it didn't work out that way and Trump was blatantly breaking laws right in front of him. He is an asshole but is also part of an asshole old guard that didn't function that way.

[Thekaspervote]

17. Exactly! We just need a few more with "that hair width of honor" to come forward or be subpoenaed

[Lock him up.]

21. Maybe he saw what happened to the Nixonian bunch of cRooks...

... and ... too many similarities?

[stopdiggin]

23. pretty much dead on

Never any love lost .. but Bolton (like others) thought he could "contain" and "control" the Trump agenda. Turns out there isn't really any Trump agenda. Trump just does sh*t (much like a bratty child) .. and then tries to pretend either 1) he didn't do it, or 2) that was what he planned to do all along ..., because, blah, blah, blah, blah

[3Hotdogs]

33. and, "Oh, look what broke. And I fixed it."

[Crash2Parties]

18. Or, he had other priorities like...Iran

And really didn't like the way the administration kept getting distracted by trumps short attention span.

[2naSalit]

27. Good point...nt

[FM123]

5. It is about to hit the fan. Many fans, actually...

[hedda_foil]

6. Splish splash, they're all taking a bath!

[dalton99a]

7. Kick

8. knr

10. Baker has corrected the drug deal comment to mean Sondland and Mulvaney.

One person in the room during Hill’s testimony initially said Bolton mentioned Rudy in the quote, but two others have now said he cited Sondland: “I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up."

11. so is this more important than voting on Dancing With The Stars?

Wonder why the Coward-In-Chief would be so concerned about Spicer's performance.

[Wawannabe]

12. John Eisenburg

Was appointed by Michael Flynn

[Leghorn21]

14. Good to know, Wawa!!

Thanks for pertinent info, MAN oh MAN

[kentuck]

31. Also connected to Devin Nunes

https://investigaterussia.org/players/john-eisenberg

<snip>
Eisenberg is one of two of the President’s lawyers who reviewed intelligence documents gathered by Ezra Cohen-Watnick and leaked to Representative Devin Nunes, chair of the House Committee on Intelligence. Eisenberg, along with Michael Ellis, another White House Council lawyer who previously worked for Nunes, allegedly believed the classified material would be helpful in proving President Trump’s unsubstantiated claim he had been wiretapped by the Obama administration.

[Progressive Jones]

15. And this is really just the beginning of many testimonies to come.

I suspect more people are lining up.

[dchill]

16. Is impeachment really a remedy...

...for goblins, hobgoblins and demons?

[JudyM]

34. Where's Harry Potter when we need him IRL?

[RockRaven]

19. The minute anyone not name Trump or Barr is in a position to quash it, Eisenberg is going to jail...

or at least be prosecuted, whatever the outcome may be once a jury is involved.

[stopdiggin]

24. for cover up? or personal criminal action? (nt)

[RockRaven]

25. Here's the thing about participating in crimes with other people - if ya helped em, it be conspiracy

misdemeanor or felony, don't matter -- if ya "do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy" ya done fucked yourself. 18 USC 371

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/371

I don't know, personally, what he did or did not do exactly. But obstruction or misprision of felony, or conspiracy to do the same, seem like possibilities given the general scenario.

The minute you have investigators and prosecutors who have a) integrity and b) free rein, people who obviously enabled criminal behavior, or covered it up after the fact, are totally screwed (in a just world, which obviously we are not living in, entirely). That is part of the M.O. of life-long criminals like Trump; enmesh as many people as you can in your own misdeeds, because they will then have a personal self-interest in covering up and obstructing, and you reap those rewards without owing any specific favors...

[stopdiggin]

26. was wondering whether you were pointing toward

him specifically being the one to order transcripts locked down. And whether that was a criminal action.
Thanks for the response.

[mia]

20. kick

[Mc Mike]

28. Drug deal? Mulvaney's in the soup too? The hits just keep coming.

[gab13by13]

29. Mulvaney appears to me

to be a guy who will crack like a dropped egg. These "tough guys" are really cowards.

[MFGsunny]

30. So far, it's been two WONDER WOMEN who have stepped forward ...

... in their respective capacity and competence to speak truth to power.

A grateful nation should continue to sing your praises!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

32. If a secret server somehow ends up bringing down this administration...

....it would be the finest example of poetic justice I could ever remember.

[kentuck]

35. That is a rewarding thought.
