FBI visits Robert Hyde's home and office after he's swept into Ukraine scheme

The FBI paid a visit to Republican congressional candidate Robert Hyde's Connecticut home and business on Thursday, a senior law enforcement official said.

The agent's visit comes days after the House Intelligence Committee released texts Hyde sent an associate of President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani suggesting he was surveilling then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.

A spokesperson for the FBI field office in New Haven, Connecticut, declined to comment. Hyde did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.

One of Hyde's neighbors told NBC News that an FBI agent arrived at Hyde's home before dawn and parked out front in a gray SUV. The neighbor said they believed the FBI agent did not enter Hyde's home and left by 10:30 a.m. Hyde has a "No Trespassing" sign on his property and a sign indicating security cameras are in operation, the neighbor said.

No movement on the Yovanovitch threats and Barr not protecting her or investigating, but this guy is raided? Weird.

taking trump/Russian mob money to grow spines that care more about our country than money. I just don't think there are enough left to help save our country. I know we need to take to the streets in huge numbers. I have some physical limitations, but I can get around those soon. I live in a very red burg of southern Oregon, but I have some fellow solid dems who will join me on a corner. I do know a couple of disappointed trump voters, I may get them to join me. They are solid republican, but now despise trump... I'll work on 'em. I'll make them my jambalaya and molasses cookies. lol

This is the closest I've ever been to such a sycophant to trump and his traitor team.


Not a good feeling at all.
