12. I'd pick Bolton.

He would do the most good for the Democrats.

Rudy would be the last choice for a number of reasons. He would claim that as Trump's attorney, he could not answer the most important questions. And that creates a situation that could take years to resolve. While an attorney can't keep secrets about crimes with clients, it would be a gamble. Equally important, Rudy would be unlikely to provide anything remotely resembling a serious answer to any question.

The other two fall somewhere in the middle. If Bolton testified, they would be at risk for future criminal prosecution, and could thus take the 5th.
