On the eve of transferring the articles of impeachment to the Senate, House Democrats have released a trove of explosive documents from Rudy Giuliani’s now indicted associate Lev Parnas providing new evidence tied to the Ukraine scandal.


The reporter is adding to his Twitter feed as he works through the docs.

omg. Yay!!!

I've been in meetings all day but this looks interesting. Did they release everything at once or is there more to come?

[heat40]

Um they tailed Yovanovitch! Wow

See tweet below for the texts that show them tracking her.

This makes it sound like they were planning a hit?!

[partyinmytummy]

Oooooooooooooh I was gonna watch the debates but I’d rather follow this!

[aurora]

I just came in to post those texts re. Yovanovich.

They really sounds like a plan for a hit job.

"Guess you can do anything in the Ukraine with money..."
Response: "Lol"

Disgusting.

[underwaterrhymes]

You should see my face.

Those texts... are astounding. There totally was a hit being planned.

[heat40]

yea. this looks so bad. I know the debates are happening now, but nothing about this on CNN. at least not since I turned it on about an hour ago.

Holy shit.

In case you are wondering who Robert Hyde is (guy Parnas is texting with), he's a Republican Congressional candidate from Connecticut who was under fire for offensive tweets about Kamala Harris.

Also he works in construction so I have to imagine it means he's deep in the NY-NJ construction sleaze that Trump and Kushner dabble in.


ETA Also owes back child support, and once said a hit man at Mar a Lagofuckyourself was out to get him. So draw your conclusions.

ETA 2 - the Doral property not Mar a Lago but same thing

Scary! Also, did anyone see Rudy Giuliani's letter to Zelensky?

www.rawstory.com/2020/01/giuliani-letter-proves-ukraine-scheme-was-about-helping-trump-personally-and-was-not-in-the-public-interest/

The last paragraph is something:
“However, I have a more specific request,” Giuliani wrote. “In my capacity as personal counsel to President Trump and with his knowledge and consent, I request a meeting with you … I will be accompanied by my colleague Victoria Toensing, a distinguished American attorney who is very familiar with this matter.”

[mbcdefg]

I’d love to get excited* about this but I know nothing will come of it.

ETA: * Excited about the possibility of taking Trump down, not excited about the content itself because it’s awful

[underwaterrhymes]

I don’t know how to link a Tweet, but Rachel Maddow is channeling me.

[bronxgirl]

I was really looking forward to watching This Is Us tonight, but now I have to watch Rachel Maddow.

[ESF]

OMFG this Trump quote is a million times more fucked up now that we have these texts

[suburbanzookeeper]

Holy shit - Maddow is going to be lit! We're going to watch after the debate, it's my reward for making it through this snoozefest.

[cattledogkisses]

Holy shit. It totally sounds like they were planning a hit on a US Ambassador, and that Trump knew about it.

[DotAndBuzz]

huh.

Well no wonder they have been blocking all sorts of witnesses. And I guess the one good thing about him aligning himself with completely shady, criminals (and not just people who will kiss his ass), is that they're ALSO going to look out for #1, and will hang him out to dry if that means they might get a lighter sentence.

They were clearly planning a hit on Yovanovich, and it makes the call she got, telling her to leave RIGHT FUCKING NOW, completely terrifying. I can't imagine how scared that woman is/was...not to mention how brave she was to come forward and testify.

[Velar Fricative]

This would be enough to sink a POTUS but not this one. Don’t forget, Yovanovitch is the witness who testified when Schiff read out Trump’s tweet in real time. I feel so awful for her.

This is where I'm at as I'm reading Twitter and trying to follow along with the documents - any other president, this would be done (I don't think it ever would have gotten this far).... but Teflon Don? I'm sure Susan Collins will be concerned and wring her hands and go right along with party lines over all of this. 

[DotAndBuzz]

Also - Nancy Pelosi is SO FREAKING GOOD at this. She knew these were going to be released, and that's why she agreed to send it to the senate.

Sweep THOSE receipts under the rug Mitch. 45 alluding to a hit (at worst), and/or kidnapping (at best) of a US Ambassador.

edit - obviously they could have been watching her and planning any number of other things. I've had some wine, but I'm leaving it, because there's no interpretation of that which suggests their intentions were benign.

I wouldn’t be mad if she decided to enter this Dem race fashionably late.

[curbsideprophet]

Well this is terrifying. Does she still have security? I hope so.

[atexan]

Well we haven't quite gotten to him shooting someone in the middle of 5th avenue, but were getting closer.

Robert Hyde speaks.
