New Lev Parnas documents

From Robert Reich's FB post on this story. More evidence appears and the plot thickens. Will the Senate Repugs give a flying f___? Of course not.

"A trove of materials from Rudy Giuliani’s indicted associate, Lev Parnas, was released by House Democrats last night as part of the impeachment inquiry. Encrypted messages between Parnas and Robert Hyde, a fringe Republican House candidate, seem to indicate that Marie Yovanovitch, then the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, was under surveillance by nefarious actors. Aside from denigrating Yovanovitch, the messages indicate that Hyde was monitoring Yovanovitch’s cell phone activity and her day-to-day movements in Kiev. Just weeks after these messages, Yovanovitch was told to immediately leave Ukraine over fears for her safety.

"This needs to be the biggest news story of the week. Two associates of the president’s personal lawyer were involved in a sinister plot to surveil a United States diplomat, and possibly to commit an act of violence against her. Where was Secretary of State Mike Pompeo? Did he know that Yovanovitch was being surveilled and under threat? And if so, did he simply allow her safety to be threatened? He must be called as a witness in the Senate trial; the American people deserve to know what role he played in the plot against Marie Yovanovitch."
