Robert F. Hyde, is a Trump donor who appears to have tracked U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s movements in Ukraine. the Daily Beast article on him makes him a bigger player in the gang put together by Rudy and the Shreks to remove the ambassador.

Wow.

Texts from Giuliani cronies, just released by House, are incredibly disturbing.

One text discusses unsavory characters in Ukraine willing to "help" with Yovanovitch for "a price"

Parnas testimony crucial to clear up--Was Trump, Giuliani & Hyde planning to assassinate Ambassador Yovanovitch? pic.twitter.com/h0A1Y6ICP0

Before Tuesday, he was best known as a little-known, scandal-scarred Republican congressional candidate who tweeted an obscene joke at Kamala Harris. But new documents from the House Intelligence Committee have put a completely different kind of spotlight on Robert F. Hyde, the Trump donor who appears to have tracked U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s movements in Ukraine.

In WhatsApp messages exchanged in March 2019 with Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas, who provided the committee with the files, Hyde and Parnas discussed Yovanovitch’s location. Hyde, a retired Marine, appeared to have associates in Ukraine monitoring her.

“They know she’s a political puppet,” Hyde wrote to Parnas. “They will let me know when she’s on the move… They are willing to help if you/we would like a price.”

“Guess you can do anything in Ukraine with money… what I was told,” Hyde wrote in another message. Parnas responded: “LOL.”

People, having read the totality of the texts between Parnas and Hyde at the instruction of Giuliani, it sounds at the bare minimum they were hiring people to harm Yovanovitch, if not kill her, for a price, in 3/2019.

And there is a reference to the FSB.https://t.co/jMmrHvvj6R

And then there’s the Arms for Dirt “Smoking Gun” in Rudy’s letter which reinforces the personal objectives of Trump’s being represented as a “private citizen”.

To correct, according to the House these handwritten notes were "written by his client" meaning apparently Giuliani.
