As close to the ground as possible, without being under it. (Lev was the brains of their operation.)

I draw a bit of comfort in knowing there are others in this scenario who are in deep doo, and these are just the people we’re aware of...

Keepin the faith!!

I just posted this elsewhere, but I think Igor has the most to fear at the moment. I would not be surprised if he wound up suicided to keep him from having an opportunity to corroborate Parnas’s story. I really hope that Rachel presses Parnas to explain how Robert Hyde ended up in Ukraine. Who paid for him to get there? Who paid his expenses while he was there? Why was he in the cell phone loop with all of the key players? If he were just a drinking buddy from the bar, how did he get from there to Ukraine inside the inner communications with this crowd, to stalking the the Ambassador? Here is much more to this story as far as Hyde goes.

The crazy conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this mob didn’t plan to actually harm the ambassador in the end and not just get her fired. Someone like Hyde would be the perfect fall guy...he’s already a paranoid crazy person...an enthusiastic MAGAt, did they let him in the loop in order to con him into following and harming the Ambassador? He would be disposable because of his history. My mind is reeling but it is clear that Hyde was there for a reason...he’s not just a drunk wannabe.

Also, I wish she'd ask Lev if he knows if McConnell was involved in the scheme.
