Donald Trump goes completely berserk after Lev Parnas reveals plot to hire goons to target Marie Yovanovitch

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Yesterday Lev Parnas turned over a treasure trove of Ukraine scandal evidence to the House. This evening the House released the first batch of that evidence, including WhatsApp text messages which revealed a bizarre plot to hire local goons in Ukraine to target US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch for some kind of surveillance, harassment, and/or harm.

Donald Trump had been quiet on Twitter all day. But just a few minutes after the House published this jarring new evidence, Trump suddenly came to life and went berserk with tweets. Trump began accusing Apple of siding with “killers” due to its refusal to unlock iPhones without a warrant. That’s ironic, considering Trump and his team were just exposed for hiring potential killers to target a United States Ambassador. Then Trump tweeted this crap:

Cryin’ Chuck Schumer just said, “The American people want a fair trial in the Senate.” True, but why didn’t Nervous Nancy and Corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff give us a fair trial in the House. It was the most lopsided & unfair basement hearing in the history of Congress!

What stands out is that Donald Trump is clearly worried about the growing possibility of Republican Senators voting to have witnesses testify against him at his impeachment trial. That was already a brewing problem for Trump as of yesterday, and now today Lev Parnas has placed even more pressure on GOP Senators to cover their own backsides by calling witnesses. Trump is clearly worried, and he’s right to be worried.
