Thu Jan 16, 2020, 07:27 AM

Jan 2020

and belief Mr. Hyde was basically joking in texts about the ambassador (shall we call it international fantasy swatting?), someone in Washington in presumably the State Department, got wind of it and tipped off the ambassador which led to her abrupt departure. Is that basically the story thus far?

So it just seems there is more to this than texts bandied about over the course of a week. Something was afoot, and Pompeo/Trump are all trying to cover something up.
