Robert Hyde Says He Was Only 'Playing' in Texts About Surveillance of Marie Yovanovitch

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

GOP congressional candidate Robert Hyde has denied being involved in surveillance of former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, saying he was "playing" in texts to Lev Parnas released by House Democrats on Tuesday.

The Connecticut Republican told Eric Bolling on Sinclair TV Wednesday night that messages he sent to Rudy Giuliani's indicted associate discussing surveillance of Yovanovitch were "just colorful," and said he was a "little landscaper from f------ Connecticut" when pressed on whether he had spied on the then-ambassador.

Hyde also denied being a "close associate" of Parnas, claiming he barely knew the businessman.

Documents released on Tuesday suggested the supporter of President Donald Trump texted Parnas with supposed notes on Yovanovitch, her whereabouts and what she was doing.

1. Does anyone believe he just happened to be connected to all these people and would say such things?

2. Such a bunch of kidders!

Joking and joshing around about assassinations and torture and suchlike. It's all just for a goof, people! Can't you take a joke? Like Steve Bannon wanting to round up refugees and transport them on freight trains? Kidding around! You snowflakes are so touchy.

But don't you fucking dare to engage in any wordplay on the word "baron."

4. Abusive spouses often tell their spouses "I was joking" or "why are you so sensitive" when they are

being verbally abusive.

I’ve noticed Dump does that as well. It’s sickening.
