Not Just Insane, But Deeply Chilling Parnas Docs Spark Calls for Secretary Pompeos Resignation
by Jerry Lambe | 2:48 pm, January 15th, 2020
The House Permanent Select Intel Committee on Tuesday released a tranche of documents that were handed over to them by Ukrainian-Floridian businessman Lev Parnas. The documents appeared to confirm that individuals with ties to Rudy Giuliani and President Donald Trump physically and electronically spied on then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. The revelation that such unprecedented measures were taken against an American ambassador left current and former diplomats aghast and led many to call for the ouster of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Parnas, a former business associate of Giulianis facing a number of federal charges in the Southern District of New York, provided lawmakers with handwritten notes and electronic messages that revealed Yovanovitch was being watched. The messages also revealed the involvement of foul-mouthed GOP congressional candidate from Connecticut, Robert Hyde.
The revelations were Not just insane, but deeply chilling, a current State Department official told Foreign Policy magazine.
If this story is true, it would be an unprecedented and outrageous attack on an American Ambassador overseas, Harvard Kennedy School professor and former Ambassador to Bangladesh Nicholas Burns wrote Wednesday. Pompeo should stand up [and] defend Ambassador Yovanovitch. Congress should ask tough questions of an Administration that has done enormous damage to the State Department.
