Remember Lev Parnas’s associate Robert Hyde, the wanna be repub congressman who appeared to be in touch with Ukrainian spooks who were tracking Amb. Yovanovitch?

He was also trying to make it in the mask game. There was a story about this a few weeks ago here on TPM.

Is there any other country in the world where people are trying to make a killing (pun intended) on vital PPE equipment? And where the head of the government is telling states (or their equivalent) to find their own supplies and then pulling them out from under them like Lucy takes a football from Charlie Brown? And then peevishly doling those essential life-saving supplies as political favors? It’s seems infuriating, disgusting, immoral. I’m sure you all can find a better adjective here. And makes me so sad that in a crisis we have such a vacuum of national leadership. Rant over.
