FBI visits congressional candidate Robert Hyde's home, business
By Justine Coleman - 01/16/20 01:03 PM EST

The FBI visited the home and business of Connecticut congressional candidate Robert Hyde early Thursday just days after he became the latest figure embroiled in the Ukraine scandal, news reports said.

A senior law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News and CNN that investigators visited Hyde’s home in Weatogue and his landscaping business in Avon, which also serves as headquarters for his House campaign, in the wake of the released texts that suggested Hyde was monitoring former U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in Ukraine.

Authorities reportedly did not answer CNN’s questions about the candidate’s location and reasons they wanted to talk to him.

   Must be a dem since the article doesn't mention his party affiliation, but being from Connecticut that was a foregone conclusion, for me anyway.

Who is Robert Hyde, the newest figure to emerge in the impeachment saga

As the impeachment proceedings against President Trump enter a new phase with next week's start of the trial in the Senate, a new figure has emerged in the ongoing effort led by House Democrats: Robert Hyde, a Republican congressional candidate from Connecticut and supporter of the president.

Hyde, 40, has come under scrutiny for WhatsApp messages he exchanged with Lev Parnas, an associate for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Parnas, who is accused of helping Giuliani investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, turned over the messages and other documents to the House Intelligence Committee, which made the records public Tuesday.
The messages exchanged between Hyde and Parnas were revealed days before the Senate prepares to start Mr. Trump's impeachment trial and are the latest twist in the impeachment efforts launched by House Democrats in September.

Robert Finley Hyde is an U.S. Marine Corps Iraqi war veteran and Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in Connecticut's 5th Congressional District.
I wonder if they used a swat team to kick in the door at 2 in the morning

Hyde is one several GOP candidates hoping to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes in the northwestern Connecticut district, though he has no endorsements, no staff and has not raised a significant amount of money for his campaign.
