(129,096 posts)that supposedly Graham and even Pence were supposedly warning Drumpf about Bolton back when he had just been fired...

(129,096 posts)that indicated that the WH lawyers made a decision to cut the rest of their presentation short - possibly due to the Bolton thing (coupled with the Kelly thing).

(129,096 posts)I had hunkered down but then was shocked when he abruptly started summarizing what happened previously and then wrapped it up. I think he only went maybe 15 minutes.

Pretty good. He takes 30 to look into a subject and often from very different angles. Done of the topics are things he has no idea about like coffee (stopped drinking it years ago) and RVs (spent a lot of time in them on sets but hes never gone camping). Recommend it.

(129,096 posts)and a subpoena was sent to Kupperman and Kupperman sued. They were going to send to Bolton and he said he would do the same. The Kupperman suit is still going.
The other deputies - Fiona Hiil & Vindman came.
