SCOOP: Robert F. Hyde, the new mystery player in the Ukraine scandal, was taken into police custody at a Trump resort last year, claiming the Secret Service & a hit man were after him. He was then involuntarily confined in a medical facility. https://t.co/7Rkx3dXlJG
new WaPo article out on Hyde, three reporters on it:
NEW: The former Marine who suggested he was tracking a US ambassador disliked by Trump was involuntarily committed last year, 9 days after bowling at the WH. He’s also subject to a restraining order for stalking a woman at Trump’s hotel. w/ @bethreinhardhttps://t.co/IfNNzCVdTZ
I am reminded of how much Josh Marshall likes to deep dive into docudumps, one of his favorite things. Used to ask for crowd help, now sometimes hires someone?
Susan Collins throws cold water on new Lev Parnas evidence. “I wonder why the House did not put that into the record and it’s only now being revealed.” Told it was just turned over, she says: “well doesn’t that suggest that the House did an incomplete job then?” @Phil_Mattingly
New Parnas claim to NYT: Trump and Rudy came up with plan for Rudy to represent Parnas, in hopes of concealing their Ukraine efforts with attorney-client privilegehttps://t.co/yEqLPAINHPpic.twitter.com/Gl0Myj386W
IMO this has the ring of truth. There was a truly bizarre human centipede of attorney-client privilege going on involving Trump, Rudy, Parnas, Fruman, Toensing, diGenova, and even John Solomon.https://t.co/j29J4LFgAg
.@Maddow: "Does it strike you as unusual or inappropriate that Devin Nunes would be one of the lead investigators?"
PARNAS: "I was in shock when I was watching the hearings and when I saw [Nunes] sitting up there...Because they were involved in getting all this stuff on Biden." pic.twitter.com/m1KgFb1fC1
Lev Parnas: "After analyzing all the evidence and sitting back and, what’s it called, really understanding what’s going on, I don’t think Vice President Biden did anything wrong. I think he was protecting our country and getting rid of probably a crooked attorney general." @MSNBC

good video of Drumpf with Lev @ Mar-a-Lago in 2017, works much better as damning than still pix:
