Well, this old claim from Parnas lawyer checks out with new texts cnn.com/2019/11/22/pol…

judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
More background on the Parnas texts with Derek Harvey.

Parnas's lawyer previously claimed Lev arranged Skype and phone calls with two Ukrainian prosecutors (Kholodnytsky and Kulyk).

Here's texts preparing for the Kulyk interview

cnbc.com/2019/11/24/giu…
Harvey says he wants to send an official letter before doing more interviews, asks for an address. Lev sends Kholodnytsky's business card. (He's the top anti-corruption prosecutor)
Before the interviews, Harvey said, "Solomon needs to get me the material."

Yes, that's "journalist" John Solomon, who Devin Nunes's staffer apparently expects to help prep him for interviews.

This is the *second* notable public comment this week from Trump's former chief of staff on this topic (first is here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/… )
Earlier John Kelly comment for the paywalled:
I mean, you can see why calling witnesses has 70% or so public support if even there are even supporters in the "Donald Trump's former chief of staff" demographic

What's noteworthy isn't really that Lamar admits the evidence shows Trump "did it" — that's like admitting the sky is blue.

The noteworthy part is that so few other Republicans are willing to make that obvious point.
A common position among Democrats in 1999 was that, yes, Clinton did inappropriate things, but it wasn't worth removing him from office.

But because Trump asserts he did nothing wrong, that's the most common GOP position too.
As usual @LPDonovan is worth reading for those who want to understand many Republicans' mentality (or, if you prefer, rationalizations) here.

"The presiding officer declines to read the question as submitted" — Chief Justice John Roberts, to Rand Paul question with alleged whistleblower's name
Quite something that the "libertarian" is spending his time trying to out the whistleblower rather than responding to some remarkable arguments for unrestrained presidential power from Trump's team
McConnell opened proceedings today with something of a preemptive semi-apology for the Rand question we now know was coming up next.

"We've been respectful of the chief justice's unique position in reading our questions," wanted to assure him that consideration would continue

New evidence links Nunes aide Derek Harvey to Parnas. They were in frequent contact

In one exchange, Harvey passed along Nunes’ contact info two days before the HIC’s impeachment report indicated that a phone connex to Nunes made contact w/ a phone connex to Parnas.
💣BlackOp2💣

The text messages, provided to investigators by Parnas, show Harvey in contact with Parnas throughout the spring of 2019 — the same time Parnas was working with Giuliani and other Trump allies to remove the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.
💣BlackOp3💣

Yovanovitch had been viewed as an obstacle to Giuliani’s effort to convince Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals, including Joe Biden.

Previously released information suggested Harvey and Parnas began communicating at least as early as January 2019.

Derek Harvey—a member of @devinnunes staff—appears to have given Nunes's contact information to Lev Parnas in April 2019. judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
@DevinNunes Unusually, the entire phone number of "Nunez" is redacted in the production...
@DevinNunes I'm guessing his phone auto-corrected to "Nunez" and he doesn't know how to fix it.

House Dem release new impeachment evidence, including notes taken by Lev Parnas, associate of Rudy Giuliani, that are pretty striking. intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
More new stuff. A letter from Rudy, after Ukraine's new president is elected, in May 2019
To correct, according to the House these handwritten notes were "written by his client" meaning apparently Giuliani.

Still working on watching & listening to Rudy.
This WHOLE scenario is like War & Peace on steroids. Long, convoluted, names we can't say, people we haven't accessed for testimony, incurious investigators, smears, lies, stall tactics from Mueller, impeachment transfer = cover up.
