    This thread of the Parnas documents seems to deserve its own discussion apart from the impeachment thread. Yovanovitch has called on the State Department to investigate, and Secretary Pompeo has yet to address the disturbing matter.

    In the document trove released yesterday, it appears that Giuliani's Ukraine activities included arranging surveillance of U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch through Lev Parnas and Robert F. Hyde, a Trump donor and now Republican candidate for Congress in Connecticut. The documents reveal the detail to which Yovanovitch was under surveillance and the exchanges (mostly from WhatsApp) suggest that actors were prepared to harm Yovanovitch.

    In November, Yovanovitch testified that shortly after these exchanges, she was urged to immediately return to the United States for her own physical safety - advice that she heeded an returned the next day.



     
    Is it normal for our government employees or not to be taking videos while government business or not is being taken care of? These people are worse than bystanders every time they see something going on. How and why was Parnas taking a video? You would think the POTUS and other higher up government employees would have security or something to prevent leaks/videos from getting out.
     
    It was another year before Yovanovitch was removed, so it’s clear nobody at that dinner took Trump seriously. Which raises more questions than it answers. I read that Trump was wanting her gone for quite a while before she was recalled, but Pompeo resisted. In theory, he knew the reason to get rid of her was corrupt and was trying to keep Trump from one of his bad impulsive decisions.

    This was apparently a “donor” dinner, and those two got there by donating to Trump’s campaign. (The money they gave may well have been provided by Firtash, as they were on his payroll I believe). It was a small dinner at Trump’s DC hotel in a private dining room.

    Security was evidently very lax, as Igor was able to take both video and audio recordings.

    Parnas didn’t take the video, his associate did. They are not government employees. I do not know who from the government was present other than Secret Service.

    This was a campaign function, evidently. I don’t know why Trump was discussing government business.

    No, it is also not normal for the President to be taking about sensitive government information with Ukranian gangsters who he claims he doesn't even know.
