A new name in the Giuliani, Parnas, Fruman, Firtash saga: Dmitry Torner - Torner is a Firtash executive who was an aspiring Ukrainian politician, later accused by Ukrainian authorities of escaping incarceration in Moldova and living under a new name
washingtonpost.com/politics/how-g…
Torner worked as the head of the analytics department at an electricity and gas distribution company in Ukraine owned by Firtash

According to Ukraine’s Security Service, Torner is a citizen of Moldova named Dmitry Nekrasov

In a text message Giuliani said he did not remember Torner’s name and had no notes from his Paris meeting. “Don’t recollect him. He didn’t make an impression,” he wrote🙄

Note: photo in WaPo has caption noting it's from Lev Parnas's lawyer Joseph A. Bondy

Here's a detailed story on Dmitry Torner - which notes that his wife worked for Firtash owned media company Inter and Torner lived in Vienna Austria and was positioning himself as Firtash's right hand man

With GOP hyping Burisma/Biden, MSM should note (& investigate) Trump associates linked to Burisma

Russian GRU targeted some Burisma subsidiaries including KUB Gas, co-owned by Burisma & Cub Energy

I recently wrote about 2 people linked to Cub Energy /1
nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
In Oct Politico reported Rick Perry pressed Ukraine on corruption & making changes at Naftogaz, floating the name of Robert Bensh to join Naftogaz board - Bensh is an exec at Pelicourt, the majority owner of Cub Energy, which co-owns KUB Gas with Burisma
Frank Mermoud is a director of Cub Energy, co-owner with Burisma of KUB Gas

Mermoud is close to Manafort and coordinated the Washington diplomatic corps at the Republican National Convention when platform was changed to remove references to arming Ukraine

Lev Parnas’s lawyer Bondy told @maddow the discussion with Trump, Fruman and others was dinner talk about cannabis, liquified natural gas, Javelin missiles

...dinner talk 🙄

And Bondy evaded question from @maddow on who gave Parnas negative info on Yovanovitch he shared w/Trump
Parts of the tape were played by @maddow and it’s still shocking to hear Lev Parnas - who worked for several penny stock fraud companies, is embroiled in lawsuits and works for Dmitry Firtash - telling the US president to get rid of Yovanovitch and Trump immediately acts upon it
@maddow Lev Parnas's lawyer Joseph Bondy's early clients included convicted wise guy Peter Gotti "a wonderful client who totally got the shaft because of his last name" and retired NYC detective who was convicted of being a mob hit man

Ya know when ya read through the whole sordid story about #Parnas and #Fruman, Campaign Finance charges are just the tip of the iceberg.

"As part of the probe, federal prosecutors are examining a raft of other potential crimes, including foreign lobbying registration violations, destruction or alteration of documents, aiding and abetting federal crimes, and foreign contributions to U.S. candidates,..

"The documents in question...show dozens of transfers totaling more than $3 Million into accounts belonging to #Parnas last year as he and his business partner #Fruman jetted into Ukraine and other countries in search of damaging information on Biden."

buzzfeednews.com/article/mikesa…
"The demand for the documents comes after at least one US bank raised concerns about a series of suspicious transactions in Parnas’s accounts, which had hallmark signs of money laundering and fraud, according to two senior law enforcement officers."
"Among the suspicious transactions is one for more than $250,000 — money that arrived, late last year, as the two business partners were setting the groundwork for the plan in Ukraine and launching a marijuana venture, according to court records and the law enforcement officers."

#Firtash is a hub in #UkraineGate, w/ lawyers DiGenova & Toensing, Giuliani, Parnas, Fruman a few of the known spokes. As part of his own legal strategy, Firtash took steps to help Trump attack Biden, Mueller & his most prominent critics. time.com/5699201/exclus… #Impeachment
Another GOP blast from the past works for Firtash: Mark Corallo was the guy on Trump's legal team in the Mueller probe who quit after witnessing Trump & Hope Hicks scheming to cover up Don Jr's Trump Tower meeting w/ Russians. Obstruction gave him the willies but not Russian mob?
‼️Parnas & Fruman were flying to Vienna to arrange a @FoxNews interview for Ukraine’s ousted prosecutor Shokin on Hannity, when they were arrested for conspiracy & campaign-finance charges. cnn.com/2019/10/23/pol… #maddow #inners #UkraineGate #ImpeachmentInquiry
