Wild Breaking News: Parnas Associate Robert F. Hyde Stalked Ousted Ambassador Yovanovitch in Kyiv!

Crime • Views: 29,564

Wow, folks. The documents released today by Democratic investigators obtained from the phone of Trump/Giuliani associate Lev Parnas are absolutely jaw-dropping: Parnas Associate Robert F. Hyde Tracked Ousted Ambassador’s Movements in Kyiv: Docs.

On the eve of a Senate trial to remove President Trump, House Democratic investigators have released a trove of documents obtained from the phone of Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani’s who was tasked with carrying out key parts of the plot to pressure the new president of Ukraine to do political favors for Trump.

The evidence released includes eye-popping new details about several parts of the story pieced together during the impeachment inquiry—particularly Giuliani’s campaign to remove Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who testified that she was ousted after being targeted in what she described as a smear campaign by Trump and his allies.

In one exchange from March 2019, Robert F. Hyde, a Trump donor and Republican Congressional candidate whose involvement in the Ukraine saga has not been previously detailed, sent texts to Parnas that implied he had access to people spying on Yovanovitch in Kyiv, according to the newly released documents.

“They know she’s a political puppet,” Hyde texted. “They will let me know when she’s on the move… They are willing to help if you/we would like a price.”

“Guess you can do anything in Ukraine with money… what I was told,” Hyde messaged. Parnas responded: “LOL.”

Looks like the real presidential harassment was Trump using his goons to harass an ambassador who wasn’t afraid to stand up to him when she felt he was wrong.

The more that comes out, the more Trump’s rotting onion presidency is exposed.

Yovanovich may be lucky to be alive, not having suffered a “mysterious ailment” like poisoning or “falling” from a hotel window or bridge.

And lots of people still slandering Marie Yavanovich in that thread. Religious apologists have to ignore facts when the facts go against their religious beliefs.

So who the fuck is Robert Hyde and why is he stalking a United States ambassador at the behest of the President’s cronies.

Clapper himself was a Bush holdover and I think Brennan too. These idiots have no understanding of how the diplomatic corps and national security lifers work.

They don’t have any willingness to understand it, because they have no need for it. Trump and Co. have been upending the entire thing into a state mafia outfit from top to bottom, and this whole shit with trying to put a hit out on a State employee is another brick in that wall.

I just happened to tune into Chris Hayes when he was covering this.

Stop and think about this for a minute: Trump, among his multitude of childish behaviors, can’t keep a secret. If he knows something you don’t, he will go to great lengths to let you know about it.

Now think about his “She’s about to have some problems” comment.

I was reading something today about the electability of the ultimate Democratic nom, and how they need to appeal to independents who don’t like Trump, and I’m like “WHAT THE FUCK MORE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT??? IT’S LOOKING LIKE HE KNEW OF A HIT ON HIS OWN AMABASSADOR!! HE’S PUTTING CHILDREN IN FUCKING CAGES!!!”

I think it was Politico. They’re good for garbage like that.

This fucking country…

But you have to remember…. Trump is a Republican.

That automatically confers to him by default legitimacy that no Democrat can ever hope to receive at their cleanest and most productive.
