Bad boys, bad boys..... in Trump's inner circle. He can Hyde, but will he still run.
Another Trump & Giuliani associate, who is running for Congress, recently had a visit from the FBI both at his home and his place of business.It seems he may have been involved in the illegal surveillance of our Ukrainian ambassador, as detailed by Lev Parnas.
From Business Insider;
In response to:
FBI agents visited the home of the Robert Hyde, the Giuliani associate who said he surveilled former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch
*FBI agents were seen visiting both the home and business addresses of Robert Hyde, an associate of Rudy Giuliani now central to the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
*NBC News and CNN both report that the FBI visited Hyde's home in Weatogue, Connecticut and the location in Avon, CT where he runs both his landscaping business and congressional campaign.
*In a trove of WhatsApp messages between Hyde and Giuliani associate Lev Parnas, Hyde told Parnas that he was closely surveilling former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
*Both Hyde and Parnas have tried to downplay the severity of his messages, even as Ukraine opened an investigation into whether Yovanovitch was illegally surveilled.
FBI agents were seen visiting both the home and business addresses of Robert Hyde, the GOP congressional candidate and associate of Rudy Giuliani now central to the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Citing law enforcement officials, NBC News and CNN both reported that the FBI visited Hyde's home in Weatogue, Connecticut and the location in Avon, CT where he runs both his landscaping business and congressional campaign. It was unclear what specifically the FBI was seeking to do at Hyde's properties.
Until recently, Hyde was a little-known, albeit eccentric, landscaper, lobbyist, and Republican political donor who ran in GOP circles and sometimes frequented the Trump Hotel in Washington, DC.
But Hyde is now front and center in Trump's impeachment, with his actions coming under investigation from the Ukrainian government and possibly Congress and the FBI as well.
In a trove of WhatsApp messages between Hyde and Giuliani associate Lev Parnas, who is currently under federal indictment for his role in the Ukraine scandal, Hyde told Parnas that he was closely surveilling former US ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and closely tracking her movements.
Yovanovitch, a career diplomat who served as US ambassador to Ukraine under multiple administrations, was recalled from her position in May after what she described in her testimony in the impeachment inquiry as a concerted and sometimes threatening smear campaign that resulted in her ouster.
In the messages, which Parnas turned over to the House of Representatives, Hyde appeared to be giving Parnas frequent updates on Yovanovitch's movements and locations, saying in one message that "it's confirmed we have a person inside."
In other messages and in public Twitter posts, Hyde described Yovanovitch as "a POS" and a "b----."
In an interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that aired January 15, Parnas described Robert Hyde as "a weird character," and said that he didn't take Hyde's texts about surveilling Marie Yovanovitch seriously because "he was drunk most of the time" and "off the wall."
Hyde has a documented history of erratic behavior both on Twitter and offline, with NBC News reporting that he shone a "stadium-grade" strobe light into his neighbor's house after they complained about the state of his yard, once threatened to shoot his neighbor over a dispute involving his dog, and ended up surrendering many of his firearms to police pursuant to a protective order.

The US is ruled by the Mafia.
He also has a very long history of legal battles.
This is somewhat old. There's even more than this now.
Trump has made efforts to replace very experienced apolitical ambassadors, people who fully understand the actual situation and have America's best interest, with inexperienced political figures, who would be loyal to Trump, rather than loyal to the US. That is a very dangerous situation.
It wasn't for Ukraine or the U.S.
hyde and parnas; another laugh. Hyde says he was drunk. parnas needs a plea bargain and we know the demonrat party are the real mob type people. All they've done is lie, twist, scheme, waste tax payer dollars, hurt their constituents, ignore the Constitution, ignore their oaths, and laws. There's even more going on than that.
The demonrats will jump on anything since they need as many lies and distractions as they can get. They hope eventually they'll get a couple of lies and cover ups to stick.
Start peeling and you will find many others.
It's like an onion.

Trump is the most corrupt US president in history
and many of his appointees are corrupt too.

Eventually, President Trump will get to the 'black mamba' himself. It's a lock!
Lol.
He is a very arrogant person...condesending to many here...no time for such silliness...
We heard last night from Senator Lindsey Graham:
Half the people behind the Russia investigation are going to go to jail” I like where Senator Graham is going here, but Americans are hungry for action as it relates to FISA which has always been scrutinized by thinking Americans. Now, it is untrustworthy and we demand either: 1.) disbandment - OR - 2.) indictments + reform. Thank you Senator!
You sleep with dogs, you get fleas.
The first two have huge ego problems, the last one is just a mole trying to keep up...and then there's squirrelly Joe.
However, that was a long time ago.
Since then, he obviously has 'sold his soul to the devil'.
He has recently proved time & time again,
that he will make-up and say ANYTHING to defend Trump.
It's what he does.
Him holding up a piece of paper or a cell phone on TV
proves nothing. Lets see those documents close up.
Lets see actual evidence.
Regardless, it does not excuse Trump's actions.
This is just part of the distraction efforts.
Your oblivious to the truth...facts...
he's proving he's going to be one of Americas greatest.
The USA will be far better off with him out of office.
It is a serious (frightful) state of our country.
We all should be afraid, very afraid.
Never mind the banana emoji...some like to gloat and want USA back in the days where no one thinks...happy sheep with Nixon in the house...
Yes and your neighbours here agree...
They can't do that because it's an election year and they don't have time.
The timing was terrible, and Nancy held onto the articles for a month.
So, they should impeach him again. This time with the witnesses.
So what if it is an election year.
The people have a right to hear the witnesses & complete evidence,
so they can better judge if votes for Trump are appropriate. It is relevant.
