BREAKING: House Intelligence Committee releases new documents that will be given to Senate for impeachment trial, including ones handed over by Lev Parnas intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Indications Yovanovitch was being surveilled: “Wow. Can’t believe Trumo [sic] hasn’t fired this bitch. I’ll get right in that.” Mr. Hyde then sent a series of text messages suggesting that he had Ambassador Yovanovitch under physical surveillance in Kyiv”
intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Whoa: These released text messages seem to show Parnas and his associates actively electronically tracking the US ambassador to Ukraine: “Her phone is off. Computer is off.”
“She’s next to the embassy”
Notes Parnas wrote in Vienna that House Intelligence Committee majority say “appear directly related to the President’s scheme to press Ukraine to announce investigations beneficial to his reelection campaign“
Initial feedback I am getting from current and former State Department officials on these new revelations is a mixture of shock and disgust. “That is insane” said one former official
“Not just insane but deeply chilling” another current State official says.
And re-upping my story from November: State Department Misled Congress on Ouster of Ukraine Ambassador

New: Trump’s former national security adviser HR McMaster calls Trump’s decision to withdraw US troops from northern Syria “unfortunate.” He says US troop presence in northern Syria was “immensely helpful to US security and US interests”
McMaster, speaking at @FDD event, points out northern Syria is where nearly 70% of Syria’s oil reserves are, that Assad & Putin are eyeing. “once you cede control there, you cede influence over what does a post-civil war Syria look like”
He also warns that the current situation risks full Turkish-Kurdish conflict. On the deteriorating US-Turkey relationship and current situation, McMaster says:
“It’s been a sad couple days, and it’s going to get sadder”

Fun new development in Afghan peace negotiations: The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee has now *subpoena'd* Trump's envoy for peace talks with the Taliban after the State Department "ignored numerous requests for briefings by Khalilzad"
Full statement by Dem Chairman, Eliot Engel: “I’m fed up with this Administration keeping Congress and the American people in the dark on the peace process and how we’re going to bring this long war to a close."
This comes after, according to Engel, the State Department "refused requests in February, April, and earlier this month for briefings or testimony from Ambassador Khalilzad on the Afghanistan peace plan."

#BREAKING: The House Intelligence Committee has released their impeachment report.

intelligence.house.gov/report/
"As this report details, the impeachment inquiry has found that President Trump, personally and acting through agents within and outside of the U.S. government, solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, to benefit his reelection."
"The President engaged in this course of conduct for the benefit of his own presidential reelection, to harm the election prospects of a political rival, and to influence our nation’s upcoming presidential election to his advantage."

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."
