Ballad of Lev Parnas Thread 1/
Lev Parnas is a small-time Trumpomobster who worked with Igor Fruman & Giuliani to damage US relations with Urkaine, on behalf of Putin. He was caught on funneling Russian money to Trump & GOP, went to court & lost.
His Ballad is a cautionary tale

Igor Fruman & Lev Parnas were caught at Atlanta airport after meeting Giuliani, on their way to Vienna, related to Ukraine in Oct 2019. Charged with 10 counts
Igor pleaded guilty to 1 count. Will be sentenced in January. Faces 3-5 years in prison

Lev Parnas attempted to cut a plea bargain with Feds. They negotiated for 9 months. So Lev was serious about trying to flip. Had excellent evidence
The Feds lost interest in Flipper in May. So negotiated about Sept 2020 - May 2021. What happened?

We know what happened in April 2021. Merrick Garland as new AG approved the raid by FBI of Giuliani office, that corrupt AG Bill Barr had blocked in 2020
Whatever powerful evidence Lev held, became worthless the moment FBI raided Rudy Colludy

We know Lev was trying to negotiate a deal where he does not serve time inside (so out on probation on a suspended sentence). Feds were having none of that regardless of what evidence Lev held
And the Feds were wiretapping Buttdial McRudypants

If Lev had taken the deal on the table, he would have gotten LESS than Igor Fruman, who gets 3-5 years. Lev would have gone inside, like Michael Cohen, and released early. Probably 2-3 years inside
Lev Parnas BADLY miscalculated in his gamble

Parnas was found guilty by a jury in remarkably fast 5 hour deliberation, on all 6 counts. He faces 5 years on 5 of the counts, up to 20 years on the 6th. Theoretical maximum 45 years. Realistic final count 8-15 year sentence. Much more than Igor

It gets WORSE for Lev Parnas. He has SECOND trial, where he now will be a criminal convict defendant. It has 4 more counts
It can add another decade of prison time - not to run concurrently. Lev likely receives 16-25 years: a BAD miscalculation

But wait! There's more. These 10 counts were in 2019 charging document. They are NOT the full Giuliani crime spree in Ukraine. Rudy had CONSPIRATORS. When America's Vampire goes to trial, MORE crimes will emerge and Lev can be - WILL be - charged
Ballad of Lev Parnas Thread 10/
Lev's role in Ukraine Giuliani crimes will add a decade to his time, and it will not run concurrently. Total time of the Lev Parnas miscalculation leads to about 25-40 years, instead of under 3 years
The Ballad of Lev Parnas is a cautionary tale

The Ballad of Lev Parnas is a cautionary tale for Trumpomobsters. Do not become Giulianisized, a marginalization of your witness value when someone else flips, or Feds find better evidence in their investigations:
Flip NOW and flip FAST

The danger of being Levparnassed with the Giulianisation of your 'valuable' self-defense evidence files & recordings is ACUTE warning now to:
Tom Barrack
Weisselberg
Giuliani
Matt Gaetz
Roger Stone
Flip NOW and Flip FAST
Or Jared & Ivanka do it
Ballad of Lev Parnas Thread 13/
Every Trumpomobster is a devious conniving criminal. They had to PAY Trump a bribe to get their jobs. At least a million dollars. They ran scams to profit. They all prepared 'insurance file' thinking is as valuable as Lev Parnas thought
