Memos detail effort to monitor social media of Fox News personalities Hannity, Ingraham and Dobbs, as well as president's son Don. Jr. and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
Officials at the U.S. embassy in Kiev ordered the monitoring of 13 prominent Americans' social media accounts during the early days of the Ukraine scandal in spring 2019 and later were informed their activities potentially violated the Privacy Act, according to State Department memos made public on Tuesday.
The memos, released under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, show those targeted for monitoring included President Trump's eldest son, Don Jr., the president's personal lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Fox News personalities Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Lou Dobbs. This reporter was one of the 13 individuals on the list targeted.
The U.S. ambassador at the time, Marie Yovanovitch, and one of her top deputies, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent, were apprised of the social media monitoring, emails show.
Embassy officials used search terms indicating they were interested in social media posts involving the ambassador, liberal megadonor George Soros, and the controversy around Joe Biden and Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian gas company engulfed in a corruption controversy that hired the vice president's son Hunter in 2014. State officials testified during last year's impeachment proceedings that the Bidens' role in Ukraine created an uncomfortable appearance of a conflict of interest that undercut U.S. efforts to fight corruption inside Ukraine.

This is what they do.
also, see this
Isn’t this old news? Soloman reported on this before the impeachment hearings started, I think.
Color me confused....why would a US EMBASSY in another country order the monitoring of social media of US citizens?? And aren’t these accounts public anyway? Having problem following the breadcrumbs here...
Its a shame that President Trump didn’t take a meat cleaver to the State Department from Day 1 — and cut their staff by over a half. They have been working against American interests for ages.
I am hoping he will make some sweepong cuts to the deep state in his next term.
Checking on the Soros connection to see if they were going to prison.
No worries Democrats. You are still above the law.
This is what they do.
Yes it is!
There were so many crimes committed during the Kenyanesian Usurpation that nobody wants to rug on any of the loose ends in fear of the entire thing unraveling and exposing their own complicity.
There is only one person in DC that I am sure was not complicit in violating the Constitution, President Donald Trump.
Everyone else is suspect.
rug = tug

Allow me to clarify.
They are being accused of breaking the law by monitoring certain social media accounts.
Most of us call it "HITTING THE FOLLOW BUTTON".
They are being accused of this because it is not illegal. What they did and are not being accused of is what was illegal.
Judicial Watch doing the work the GOP controlled Senate refuses to do.
This was during the impeachment hoax. The coupists were covering their tracks and curious what was being reported by outlets friendly to POTUS. Yovanovich and Kent both appeared at Schiff’s kangaroo court. This info would have been highly relevant at the time they testified. Sadly, the GOP Senate didn’t care to gather any facts and defend a GOP POTUS under a hoax impeachment assault. So here we are follwing another coup story after the coupists have left the building.
Excuses, anyone?
Where is DOJ? Why aren’t heads rolling and gells tolling.
Buahahahahahaha! No one will do a damn thing.
