Sondland says the content of a text he wrote denying a quid pro quo w/ UKR was relayed (dictated) to him directly by Trump in a phone call.

Perry, Sondland & Volker met with a “buzz saw” in the OO. Trump blamed opponents in UKR for attempting to undermine his elex.

“Trump said UKR ‘tried to do me in.’

They surmised that Giuliani had filled Trump’s head w/ a number of baseless conspiracy theories, inc’g that the hacked DNC server was spirited away to Ukraine.

Trump: “If you want to do something you have to talk to Rudy.”

Giuliani acknowledged that he and his associates worked with (corrupt) Ukrainian prosecutors to collect potentially damaging information about Amb Yovanovitch and other targets of Trump and his allies including Biden & Hunter Biden.

Giuliani shared the conjured up material this year w/ the DOJ & a Trump-friendly columnist in an effort to undermine the amb & other Trump targets.

“It would be kind of ridiculous to say I was doing it on Lutsenko’s behalf when I was representing the POTUS.”

‘We’re best friends w/ Giuliani,’ Scaramucci said Parnas & Fruman told him. ‘We work with him on everything.’ 

Parnas got his start in RE, selling Trump condos for Trump’s father, Fred, then worked in shipping in the former Soviet Union. He moved to FL c1995.

Per Parnas, Fruman is the one with especially deep connections in Ukraine.

In 2018, Parnas & Fruman had been part of a group of just eight people who met privately with Trump & discussed the upcoming midterm elections. ORLY?

Hmmm...What were they up to?🤔

In one five-week period between 9/18 & 10/18, the two men racked up more than $13,000 in charges at the Trump hotels in NY and Washington

In Dec, they attended a White House Hanukkah party, posting a photo on social media that includes Giuliani, Trump & VP Pence.

Parnas & Fruman and their energy firm (GRP) contributed at least $630,000 to federal GOP candidates and PACs since 2016, campaign finance filings show.

Parnas & Fruman, along with two other associates, are charged with laundering money through corporate ...
🌳Breathe7🌳

Bank accounts & using straw donors to obscure the source of their funds, including illegal foreign contributions.

In addition to their company Fraud Guarantee, they planned to launch a recreational marijuana business in states such as Nevada with Andrey Kukushkin👇🏼
🌳Breathe8🌳

Parnas also received 10s of 1000s of dollars last year from Brian Ballard’s firm. He is a FL lobbyist & has known Trump for nearly 30 years.🤔

In April 2018, P & F incorporated their new company, Global Energy Producers, which purportedly intended to sell LNG.
🌳Breathe9🌳

P & F began an effort to export YS gas into UKR through Poland.

P &F saw a top official at Naftogaz, Andrew Favorov, regarding their venture & pitched their LNG biz & their hope to soon see new leadership at Naftogaz that would be receptive to their proposal.
🌳Breathe10🌳

They asserted that U.S. Amb Yovanovitch, who opposed replacing the company’s chief executive, would soon be gone.

The implication, was that the men would help Favorov take the top job at Naftogaz and then begin selling LNG to the Ukrainian state gas conglomerate.
🌳Breathe11🌳

The campaign against Yovanovitch was embraced by Giuliani as part of his broader effort to pressure Ukraine to launch inv’ns into Trump’s political rivals.

Parnas & Fruman assisted him in that project.

“They were helping me a lot in Ukraine,” Giuliani said
🌳Breathe12🌳

Toensing & husband, attorney Joe diGenova, retained Parnas this summer to work as a translator as for their work w/ Firtash,

Firtash, who per court docs is an “upper-echelon” assoc of RU organized crime.

Earlier this year, Firtash hired Toensing and diGenova
