He represents a wildly entertaining (and scary) turn in the Ukraine story, based on the current tranche of Lev Parnas documents.
- On the one hand, he was somehow involved as an associate of our favorite Giuliani henchmen and all-around cartoon characters, Lev and Igor, in surveillance of our ousted ambassador to Ukraine.
- He made a bizarre off-color comment about Kamala Harris when she withdrew from the presidential race. “Went down, brought to her knees. Blew it. Must be a hard one to swallow. #KamalaHarris #heelsup”
- He has a history of strange interactions with authorities:
In May, Hyde was removed by police from Trump National Doral Miami in Florida. According to an incident report filed by the Doral police department, Hyde told the responding officer that he was in fear for his life and “a hit man was out to get him.” He was not arrested. Police escorted him from the hotel and transported him to an undisclosed location. In the vehicle, Hyde said his computer had been hacked by the Secret Service and that the Secret Service was watching him at the premises, according to the incident report.
In June, responding to a protective order, Simsbury police removed six firearms and more than 800 rounds of ammunition last year from his home. Officers seized three rifles, two shotguns, a flare launcher, and other shooting accessories.
When asked for his comments on the newly available documents, Hyde succinctly responded, “Bull Schiff is a giant bitch.”
He is currently a Republican candidate for a seat in Congress.
Presumably he also leads a double life as a respected medical practitioner named Jekyll. Because of course he does.
