BREAKING: Police in Ukraine are investigating the possible surveillance of former US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, according to the Interior Ministry.

My own take is there's a lot more to this story than Lev Parnas' disimissal as Hyde's fantasy surveillance. If THAT were the case, how would unnamed State Department person recommend to the Ambassador to get on the next plane and return to the US for your own safety?

4. Yes, it is an "associates" question

Someone outside, or inside, the embassy.

Which is all the more amazing, because from what I've read these weeks, embassies are surveillance posts, they monitor the outside, the inside, they know if they're being watched, so IF this third party associates stalking happened, there will be record of it.

2. For starters, what was Hyde doing in Ukraine? If he was actually there and not drunk

tweeting (as he claims) from the Trump Hotel bar it seems much more likely he was actually stalking her.

5. They need to pinpoint where he sent his texts from

He sounds like a joker, but there is the ensuing flight of the Ambassador to reconcile with that idea

7. Who paid his expenses to get to Ukraine?

Who paid his expenses while he was there? Surely he wasn’t there on his own volition. How did he go from being a drunk MAGAt at the tRump hotel to stalking an ambassador in Ukraine? He had to be on the team...Parnas is leaving something out.

3. And why isn't Pompeo & the US State Dept investigating?

We know why.

6. Pompeo is frozen for some reason

He's standing down. Dropped the Senate candidacy idea, been silent since the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani, silent on Ambassador Yovanovitch departure, just silent.

Maybe he's stonewalling to support Trump, or because he knows the fix he's in, or on direction of higher-ups, or he's talking to authorities. Take your pick.

8. Realized he may be the fall guy after Parnas?

This could gonna spiral upward pretty quickly. No one wants to go to jail for Trump.

9. They had bugged her computer and phone

Hyde made statements about it, "she has turned on her computer, she has used her phone..."
