A peripheral figure in the ongoing impeachment drama has rapidly become the focus of law enforcement on both sides of the Atlantic.

, FBI agents turned up at Hyde's home and office in Connecticut, where he is running for office. And in Kyiv, Ukrainian officials announced a criminal probe to see if local laws were violated. Authorities in both countries appear intent on determining whether Hyde presented a genuine threat to Yovanovitch, or whether he was, in his own words,"just playing."

Parnas, who is facing federal charges of campaign violations -- in part -- connected to the effort to oust Yovanovitch, downplayed Hyde's activity and credibilitywith MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. Parnas described Hyde as erratic and a heavy drinker.

Wow!!! a picture, really this is all you got! Do you know how many picture the President takes with people every month, thousands! The Democrats keep on looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! After awhile it's really getting pathetic! They are just jealous period!

1SnoozyQ Have there ever been two people who look more like they belong together than these two?

Those are some girthy old men.

Let me get this straight. So dems in the House refused to even give the GOP their own witnesses and now they want their own witnesses in a Republican senate? WTF is wrong these peeps? They wanna bully their way into the senate, they are about to get their ass handed to them! lol.

The MSM is hilarious. How many photos were Democrats seen posing with Farrakhan, etc? Obama, Waters & several other congresspeople were seen with Farrakhan many times. What do you report on them? Nothing!

He should draw a tranquilizer dart not scrutiny. He's clearly deranged (But that's always why Trump loves him surely).

Wait until they start investigating his son Sam.

It is usually the bank doing impeachment. If it is law enforcement doing impeachment they are using the legislation to better themselves rather than put criminals in jail, and they are the ones that will go to jail because they can’t be better than they are.

Boy are you going to be disappointed with this nothing burger.

realDonaldTrump needs a BRO for his man tits🤣

He is not relevant to the impeachment trial. Acquittal by February re-election by November.

I’m sure Trump will claim not to know Hyde either. Just like everyone else he’s associated with when they get caught breaking the law.

Grow up, ABC

would be interesting to look at all instances where people close to Trump who have gotten into legal trouble and Trump has denied knowing them in spite of existing plethora of pictorial evidence.

Well if you are a drunk I suppose it is easy to get pulled into Trump's cult-like circle. Usually it is the peripheral people that get sucked in that take the wrap and Trump gets away.

Save this pic. 😁

Real winner, we have here 🤯

Zzzzz

Papa johns new delibery dudes?

Yet 3 years of desperate investigations that produced no crimes missed this guy? Omg you people have dug the democrats into such a deep hole. KAG2020LandslideVictory
