People Are Perfectly Mocking Trump After Ukraine Announces Investigation Into Illegal Surveillance of Former Ambassador

People Are Perfectly Mocking Trump After Ukraine Announces Investigation Into Illegal Surveillance of Former Ambassador

Alarming texts were released on Tuesday between two associates of the President's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani: indicted Ukrainian-American Lev Parnas and GOP congressional candidate Robert Hyde.

The texts indicated Hyde was tracking the whereabouts of then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Hyde claims in the texts to be working with someone on Yovanovitch's security team to monitor her whereabouts and tells Parnas he knows people who "can help" for a price.

Yovanovitch left Ukraine for the United States due to security concerns weeks later.


In an explosive interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Parnas claimed he wasn't taking the texts from Hyde seriously, instead assuming he was drunk. Parnas cut ties with Hyde as the messages got more disturbing.

For Hyde's part, he claims he'd been drinking as well.

But Ukrainian officials aren't taking the matter lightly: they've opened an investigation into the veracity of the texts.

The concentrated effort from Giuliani, Parnas, Hyde, and others to remove Yovanovitch from her post was part and parcel of the effort to get Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Instead, it looks like the Ukrainians just announced a different investigation.

According to Buzzfeed, an Ukrainian interior ministry official said:

"Ukraine's position is to not interfere in the domestic affairs of the United States. However, the published records contain the fact of a possible violation of the legislation of Ukraine and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which protects the rights of a diplomat on the territory of another country...Ukraine cannot ignore such illegal activities on its territory."

Trump's efforts to get a politically beneficial investigation out of Ukraine could result in a politically damning one instead.

The sweet sweet justice was not lost on anyone.






Astonishingly, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the State Department as a whole still haven't commented on the efforts to oust Ambassador Yovanovitch, especially since Pompeo appears to have been meeting with Giuliani and other players in the newly released Parnas documents.




Both Parnas and Hyde have dismissed the idea that one or both of them was physically monitoring Yovanovitch, but we're sure Ukrainian officials will be eager to verify that, if not with the help of U.S. officials as well.

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
