Also, when trying to get information from a witness, she doesn't want to go on the attack against that witness, such as asking "where does the money come from to pay for everyone's ability to hang out at the bar at Trump Tower?"

My money is on Mother Jones. The writer, David Corn is really filling in the blanks on Hyde.

were stalking/making plans, he would be saving himself by saying he didn't take it seriously.
Hyde is a donor to the Trump campaign, so I think he has the money to cover his lifestyle, just not child support.🙄
Good questions.

Parmas seemed to be minimizing the stalking of the Ambassador? He didn't want to be involved in any serious crimes like threatening a US Ambassador. She has already said that she felt threatened and was told to get the next plane out of Ukraine.

Also, in my opinion, Parmas seemed like he did not want to say anything bad about John Bolton. He told Anderson Cooper that most of the dots could be tied together with what he knows from being on the ground and what John Bolton knows from being in Washington. That sounded a little self-serving, I thought.

He looked down when answering about Hyde's stalking of the US Ambassador. Actions, though, speak louder than words. He called someone with the RNC (Ahearn??) to warn him and he blocked Hyde after that. He was seriously concerned.

Interesting thoughts you have on Bolton.
