Wow, what a nail-biter!!!
Trump's impeachment trial hasn't even begun and the plot is thickening!
actually the whole situation is sickening.
Lev Parnas played at the big boys table. He was an important go-between in the Trump - Giuliani - Ukraine scandal. Parnas, who officially is employed as an "interpreter"... is reported to have been paid MILLIONS!
His connections with Russian Oligarchs... who we know know had their hands in Trump's back pockets... other Republicans too... allowed him to gain credibility within the state governments of the two countries. He was wined and dined by Dignitaries, sat at round table functions with Trump and was the one chosen to negotiate the terms of Trump's extortion of Ukraine's new President.
Parnas pretty much experienced the "Trump treatment".
First: Welcomed into Trump's circle Second: Empowered to do Trump's dirty work Final: Thrown under the bus.
Parnas is in trouble with the law. He has been implicated in improper campaign funding schemes. People sympathetic to Trump accuse Parnas of "spilling the beans to save his ...".
Parnas, made the bold, brave move to go public. And what timing. Just as the republican Senate officially is to begin the Trump impeachment trial. You know, that 5 minute trial, with no documents revealed, no witnesses... that joke of a false trial McConnell was promising weeks ago...
During the delay to deliver the articles of impeachment more investigations revealed additional evidence. Including today the U.S.G.A.O. Government Accountability Office, the department in charge of policing Monetary Funding publicly stating TRUMP'S THREATENING UKRAINE AND USING U.S. MILITARY FUNDS TO BOLSTER HIS CHANCES TO WIN THE UPCOMING ELECTION IS ,.... I L L E G A L !!!!! ....
Quote: "The Trump administration's decision to withhold money from Ukraine was illegal."
The proof in Parnas words will be in the outlining investigations to come. But, from what we've seen everything he said seemed to make sense.
Trump is letting Parnas go down in flames. So Parnas spoke out.
BRAVO!!! LEV!!!!
hey Bolton, what are you waiting for?
