Robert Hyde's messages needs to be dealt with more seriously. His message exchange is unproffesional. You are dealing with a person's life. It isn't funny.

Quote:Hyde said Yovanovitch had turned off her phone and computer, and that his associates in Ukraine would give updates on the ambassador's movements. He added, "They are willing to help if we/you would like a price ... Guess you can do anything in the Ukraine with money ... what I was told."
"Lol," Parnas replied.
Two days later, on March 29, Hyde wrote, "It's confirmed we have a person inside."
Parnas said Wednesday in an interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC that he never took Hyde seriously and his replies were intended to mollify him.
Parnas said in the interview that he regretted being part of the chain of events that ended with Yovanovitch being removed as ambassador.
In a a flurry of comments Wednesday, Hyde said he has never been to Kyiv and that the highlighted exchange was all in fun and had been misconstrued.
"How low can liddle Adam Bull Schiff go?" Hyde asked in a posting to both Twitter and Facebook. He later added, "For them to take some texts my buddy's and I wrote back to some dweeb we were playing with that we met a few times while we had a few drinks is definitely laughable."
