Thanks,  @Deranged Rhino

Since it is becoming apparent that, at the very least, all roads lead through Ukraine (they may end there, they may not), I really appreciate your taking the time to do this. 

 


You guys are legit freaks - hook line and sinker - you will believe anything Q tells you.

 

Talk about intellectual dishonesty...

The Democrats had her testifying as a "fact witness" during the impeachment fiasco.
 

State Department to release memos detailing illegal social media monitoring of Americans
 

Memos to be released under FOIA will show effort to monitor social media of Fox News personalities Hannity, Ingraham and Dobbs, as well as president's son Don. Jr.
 

The State Department has agreed to release memos showing officials in its Kiev embassy illegally monitored 13 Americans' social media accounts during last year's Ukraine scandal, including President Trump's eldest son, Don Jr., and Fox News personalities Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Lou Dobbs, Just the News has learned.
 

The memos are being turned over to the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act, multiple sources confirmed Tuesday.
 

The memos will show that the U.S. embassy in Kiev, under then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, began monitoring the social media accounts of the targets in March 2019 as early stories about the embassy's activities and Joe Biden's son Hunter emerged at The Hill newspaper (written by this reporter) and on Fox News, the sources said. This reporter was one of the 13 individuals on the list targeted, the sources said.

Monitoring e-mails or phone records, which are by essentially by definition private, absolutely illegal.  Is it actually illegal to follow someone's Twitter or Facebook posts (if they aren't made anonymously and the person is doxxed)?

 

Totally get that it unseemly for a "non-partisan" :rolleyes: ambassador to be tracking the social media accounts of Americans on the other side of the world.  And also that it highlights her partisanship.  But, again, how is that actually illegal?

If that is what they were monitoring, yes, that would/should be illegal.  But the article only says she & the embassy (& their contractor - wtf do we the taxpayer always have to pay extra fur this bullschiff?) were monitoring social media accounts rather than mining them.  "Monitoring" a social media account sounds about as nefarious as collecting newspaper articles about the subjects.  (Not saying there isn't more to it, clearly there must be.  But on the surface, not sure how it's illegal.)

We shall see. I do wonder why a FOIA was necessary if this was all on the up-and-up.

Definitely, we shall.

 

Would assume that the embassy routinely classifies all documents & would definitely be unwilling to freely release something as embarrassing as checking up on what people like Don Jr. & Ingraham were saying- especially when trying to claim Hunter Biden's Ukranian business dealings were completely on the up & up but 45 asking (upon being prompted) Ukraine's top dog to look into corruption was purely political.
