I think this Bolton story is actually part of the plan.
The leak came from the NSC which is the same place the whistleblower/phone call originated. The same place 2 employees leave their position and end up on Schiffs team prior to the House impeachment kickoff. If this is whitehats then the whistleblower and this Bolton leak with possibly many others are being leaked purposefully to push this in the open by hanging out bait strategically for the Dems to think they have the upper hand and move towards whatever direction the bombshell information is about.
If it's black hats then it means all other WH leaks have stopped and the NSC is the only hole left. But based on Qs post about Bolton and cleaning the house, then recently saying castle clean I'm thinking it's white hats and this is literally all a movie. A choose your own adventure for the Dems, but they don't know there's only one option in the end.
