Were Trump and his associates planning to harm Ambassador Yovanovitch?

1. I'm thinking they were doing more than monitoring her

Always assume the worst with Team Trump

2. Trump and company are now and have been for years "mobbed up."

And putting a hit out on somebody is just doing business.

Michael Cohen's (Trump's former lawyer who is now in prison) uncle ran a social club
in the Queens that was the home base of the Russian Mob in America.

Trump's mentor and former lawyer, Roy Cohen, was a mob lawyer.

Both Lev and Igor were Ukrainian Mobsters

The Trump organization has made money for years by laundering the mob money it through their properties
in NYC and other places such Azerbaijan (Oil oligarchs, Iran Revolutionary Guard, and Russian Ukraine thugs).

3. even if they were "only" stalking her,

that would be against the law in many states.
i assume they broke laws.

4. The repubs will say, yeah but...

the plan failed and she didn't actually get harmed.

5. We're talking about people who have no empathy so IMO it's not

far-fetched to examine this possibility. She wasn't a human being to them, just someone who had to be dealt with, perhaps as an example to others. And Trump is highly influenced and inspired by Putin, a man who thinks nothing of "removing" his enemies.

And she was on foreign soil in a country experiencing conflict and chaos, which makes it easier to accomplish.

6. I think so. He said that she was going to "go through some things"

whether that meant breaking kneecaps or not, it was menacing..

7. YES

[dewsgirl]

8. Of course.

9. Yes. nuff said

[Zolorp]

10. It's not like it's the first "Hit" Trump put out on somebody.

Didn't one of his close friends "commit suicide" under dodgy circumstances.

Now what was that guy's name, began with an "E"...

11. It sure does look that way.

It could just be that they were trying to intimidate her. But, even that is atrocious.

"Disturbing" is an understatement.

12. It apparently waaaasss on the table.
