Trump's Goons Were Up to Something Very Shady in Ukraine

[Arkansas Granny]

Last night, the House Intelligence Committee released several documents provided by Lev Parnas, one of the crooks President Trump recruited to help run his Ukraine extortion scheme. Two of the documents in the collection stand out in sharp, mordant contradistinction.

One of them is a series of messages between Parnas, who met with Trump on several occasions and claims the president personally directed his mission in Ukraine, and Robert Hyde. A beefy retired Marine and current Republican congressional candidate, Hyde made several chilling remarks that seemed to indicate that he was surveilling Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, and prepared to do something to her.

Reading these messages makes clear Hyde was planning to do something unpleasant to Yovanovitch, apparently in tandem with some kind of security personnel he contacted, perhaps Russian ones:

The article goes on to discuss the letter Rudy sent to Zelensky in his capacity of Trump's personal attorney.

1. I take my hat off for Nancy Pelosi yet again

Her timing on the impeachment has been impeccable. She kept hitting the brakes for months, angering many people but lulling the administration into complacency as everyone believed that there would be no impeachment. Then she hit the gas, floored it, tore through the articles impeachment, and then held off on delivering them until the Lev Parnas material was in the can.

4. Her use of the brakes and gas reminds me of what I do to people following my car too closely.

They don't seem to like it.

2. Didn't she say that she was told Trump wasn't happy

with her and was going to do something about her if she didn’t fall in line.

3. After VP Micro Penis, Pelosi is next in line for the Presidency.

I'm guessing this entitles her to Secret Service protection like those other two clowns. There must be numerous agencies monitoring communications between the White House and today's version of inept "Cuban plumbers".

5. Goons

Very well put.

6. And yet he has the stones to run for office. Disgraceful

7. According to Lev, Hunt was just making it up to impress people.

Which is not to say there was not some very shady stuff going on.

8. Hyde was making contacts despite having no official

Position with the administration. That's not a joke. I think he needs to testify in front of the House committee for Foreign Affairs to answer questions about his attempts to interfere with our official ambassador.
