A Massachusetts judge is considering whether to revoke bail in a protective order case against a Connecticut man who has emerged as a figure in the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
A prosecutor made the request to revoke Robert F. Hyde's bail during a hearing in Malden District Court on Thursday, with police accusing Hyde of repeatedly violating a civil protective order obtained by a political consultant, The Hartford Courant reported.
The consultant obtained the restraining order last summer, accusing Hyde of harassing and stalking her. She lives in Massachusetts and works frequently in Washington, D.C. The Courant reported it was not naming the woman because she fears for her safety.
Hyde, of Simsbury, Connecticut, made headlines Tuesday when House Democrats' released text messages between Hyde and Lev Parnas, a close associate of Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. In the messages, Hyde disparages U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and purportedly gives Parnas updates on her location and cellphone use. While it remains unclear how Hyde first connected with Parnas, a review of court records and police reports depict a man who struggled with extensive financial and legal problems, including police concerns about his mental health and debt racked up at the Trump National Doral Resort in Florida.

They pretend to be brave and macho, then attack the weakest among us. Cowards is what they really are.

(5,131 posts)In June, Connecticut State Police required that he turn over three rifles, two shotguns and nearly 400 rounds of ammunition because of a protection order, according to records from the Simsbury Police Department. Its unclear what led to the protection order. A week later, records show members of a Simsbury church asked police to tell Hyde not to return because of his unsettling behavior and political campaigning, accusing him of taking videos of himself in and around the church for political purposes and later posting them on social media.

(14,498 posts)I believe that's one of the fundamental requirements in the Republican Party membership rule book.
So, with the attempts to harass and dominate women and massive sucking up to Republican bigwigs, he gets three Rethug gold stars on his report card.
Heck, he's almost qualified to be in Trump's staff or cabinet.
