The Daily Beast has the least cryptic reporting I’ve found on the Parnas Papers so far.
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.
…
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.”
A photo of Hyde on Parnas’ phone matches that of the Connecticut-based Republican running for U.S. House, and Parnas’ attorney, Joseph A. Bondy, confirmed to The Daily Beast that is indeed the same Hyde. Up until this point, Hyde was best-known for an offensive tweet about Sen. Kamala Harris that drew widespread condemnation.
Reached for comment on the text messages by The Daily Beast on Tuesday night, Hyde texted, “Bull Schiff is a giant bitch.”
Yes he definitely sounds like someone we need in Congress.
Another detail:
Get. Them. Out.
The messages clearly show that they had Yovanovitch under observation and possibly electronic surveillance. More worrying (!) is the discussion around not being able to move given the enhanced security detail. That suggests that abduction or assassination was at least being contemplated. This is Americans (Hyde and Giuliani) plotting with others against a US ambassador, possibly with the knowledge of the President.
Waiting for the missile strike against them any time now. Should be right about now. No? Surely now… No?
How else could one explain:
Maybe if she’d been faster putting up that picture of Trump…./s
