CHM @RepEliotEngel: Documents turned over to @HouseIntel by Lev Parnas include a profoundly alarming dialogue between Mr. Parnas & Robert Hyde, a Trump donor. The messages suggest a possible risk to Amb Marie Yovanovitch’s security in Kyiv before she was recalled from her post.
"Yesterday, @HouseForeign staff contacted @StateDept’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security to flag this info & seek assurances that proper steps have been taken to ensure the security of Embassy Kyiv & that of Ambassador Yovanovitch. I’m grateful for the Department’s quick response..."
"Today, I will convey a formal request for documents, information, and a briefing from senior officials related to this matter. This unprecedented threat to our diplomats must be thoroughly investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Read Chairman @RepEliotEngel's full statement on the potential threats to Ambassador Yovanovitch’s security:

The President's allies are using a leak that originated at the @StateDept to smear a career ambassador and intimidate a key witness in the impeachment inquiry. Let's set the record straight.
@StateDept First of all, the @StateDept should stop leaking documents that Republicans are using to wage misleading attacks on a Department employee & instead produce documents we've subpoenaed & that the White House has told them to hide. We know you’ve got them: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
@StateDept Ambassador Yovanovitch testified that @HouseForeign contacted her in August to discuss the circumstances around her firing. (p.213 of her testimony: docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…)

Today @HouseForeign, @HouseIntel & @OversightDems received testimony from Amb Volker as part of the House impeachment inquiry. Following the interview, Chairs @RepEliotEngel, @RepAdamSchiff & @RepCummings updated members.

Current & former @StateDept officials have begun cooperating with the #ImpeachmentInquiry. Based on the first production of materials, it has become immediately apparent why Secretary Pompeo tried to block these officials from providing information.
The texts Amb Volker provided reflect concerns raised by a State Dept official. He expressed concerns that military assistance & meeting between the presidents were being withheld to pressure 🇺🇦 to deliver on Trump’s demand for UKR to launch politically motivated investigations.

|Thread| 1. Is the FBI is investigating a possible conspiracy to commit murder? A plot to #assassinate the #ambassador needs to be reliably tied to Trump’s goon squad, but even the idea of one raises the stakes. @NarativLive

2. #Giuliani and #Parnas pal Robert #Hyde has a lot for which to answer especially with these texts, Parnas proffering and Ukrainian and US authorities investigating. @NarativLive
3. Now let’s talk about this photo. It looks like #RudyGiuliani is calling the shots. @NarativLive

🔥#Parnas just corroborated David Holmes’ #impeachment testimony, saying #Trump talked so loudly, Parnas could hear him on calls w/ Rudy #Giuliani. Parnas tells #Maddow he was present “lots of times” when Rudy spoke by phone w/Trump—who “knew everything” about their #Ukraine work
#Parnas says #Pence had to know of #Ukraine pressure campaign. He says Trump sent Pence to meet Zelensky in Poland, using a hurricane as an excuse not to go himself, mad that Zelensky still hadn’t given in to his pressure. So Trump bailed on WW2 ceremony to further the pressure‼️
#Parnas tells #Maddow that Attorney General #BARR was "basically on the team" with #Giuliani and Victoria #Toensing & Joe #DiGenova (lawyers for #Firtash, indicted Ukrainian oligarch linked to #Russian organized crime).

We lined up the newly released Parnas messages with the records we obtained from the State Department through FOIA litigation, as well as other records and reports.

The timeline is troubling. (Thread)
On Tuesday, the House released new evidence provided by Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, which included disturbing text messages that suggest the movements of former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch were being tracked. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Many of the messages between Parnas and Robert Hyde, a Trump donor who was apparently assisting Parnas in Ukraine, were sent in late March 2019 — dates when Giuliani was in touch with Sec. of State Mike Pompeo, according to records we obtained. americanoversight.org/state-departme…

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.

#MikePompeo on lying:

"When I was a cadet, what was the cadet motto at West Point? 'You will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do'? I was the CIA Director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like - we had entire training courses!"
