4/Parnas says his Ukraine activities were directed by the President and Rudy, and he met with the President about it all at the White House itself. cnn.com/2019/11/15/pol…
5/New round of subpoenas flying this week. Investigation expanding. Going deeper btw into Florida GOP politics too.
6/And as we learn more, it is clear that this investigation will eventually move beyond the shady activities of 2018 early 2019 to Trump's 2019 illegal crusade in Ukraine to take down Biden and help Russia.
7/The investigation becomes the legal framework for investigating/prosecuting all the conspirators in the crimes Trump committed in the Ukraine affair, and thus is incredibly dangerous to Pence, Pompeo, Mulvaney, etc. thedailybeast.com/fox-news-ancho…
8/At Parnas/Fruman indictment, SDNY/FBI made clear 1) election law crimes serious crimes 2) they were coming after others. "The FBI takes the obligation to tackle corruption seriously – there are no exceptions to this rule.” justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/l…
9/Just this morning - Parnas has receipts.
House needs to look at all this new info closely, and decide whether it means it needs to slow down Impeachment to allow these new developments to play out a bit.

10/More from Parnas's attorney.
11/These new Parnas/Fruman developments are part of the reason why I think the House needs to consider slowing down the Impeachment process. More thoughts on that below.
12/More reporting this morning from @VickyPJWard and @CNN on Nunes's pernicious role in the Ukraine affair.
If he isn't already, Nunes will be soon under criminal investigation, and must step back from the Intelligence Committee immediately.
