I don't want to overstate this new evidence, but there are some whoppers and new questions.
Parnas will be a witness.
Again:
"I wouldn't want to be a Senator engineering a cover-up non-trial when a bombshell may be around the corner."

First, here are his deeply creepy tweets to Lev Parnas:
Sorry, I'm not going to post it. Google it if you want.
But Hyde seems to be a mentally unstable man working w/ @RudyGiuliani's associates in stalking & intimidating a US ambassador.
Hyde with Trump here:

This is the @Giuliani A-team in Ukraine.

Who else in this extortion A-team is getting Putin oligarch money?

Trump to Zelenskiy: "She's [Amb. Yovanovitch] going to go through some things."
Hyde to Parnas: "If you want her out they need to make contact with security forces."

Yovanovich had already been fired in May.
Trump's call was in July.
But there are unintended consequences... to be generous... when a boss talks this way about his "enemies" among unstable thug associates.
Was Hyde illegally surveilling Yovanovitch? In coordination with Giuliani's team? While scouting out security?
This looks a lot like a Watergate criminal conspiracy...
See federal stalking felony 18 USC § 2261A
"Travel...with the intent to harass, intimidate, or place under surveillance with intent to harass or intimidate another person...

When you have a "shadow foreign policy" with crazy @RudyGiuliani & his thugs, you're risking some even crazier shadowier thugs doing dangerously criminal things. Or maybe hoping they do... without your fingerprints.
And that makes live witnesses like Parnas necessary and potentially explosive.
"It's confirmed we have a person inside."
Who? With what intent?
But we also know that @realDonaldTrump is mentally ill and really did have criminals on the inside:
@RudyGiuliani, and his thugs Parnas, Fruman, and Mr Hyde.
And also h/t @normative on Mr Hyde:
Yovanovitch calls for investigation.
Let's be clear: It's a criminal investigation.
And it's time for NY state prosecutors to indict @RudyGiuliani for extortion conspiracy. And maybe more.
