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.
💣BlackOp4💣

Texts show Harvey asking Parnas to pursue several lines of inquiry with his Ukrainian contacts, including what Harvey calls “rumors” about coordination between the 2016 campaign of HRC and the Ukrainian gov’t to dig up dirt on Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort.
💣BlackOp5💣

Harvey asked a few days later whether Parnas was preparing to send documents or if he would “keep working through [John] Solomon,” a reference to a former columnist at The Hill who was working closely with Parnas and Giuliani on the effort. #Firtash
💣BlackOp6💣

The pair attempted to arrange Skype interviews between Republican staff of the HIC & senior officials in Ukraine, including former prosecutors Viktor Shokin and Yuri Lutsenko, who had been working to oust Yovanovitch and had offered up allegations of dirt on Biden.
💣BlackOp7💣

Mueller's report was released in the middle of their effort, & Harvey asked at one point if they could postpone a phone call while he dealt with “Mueller stuff.”

“Lev, I have not received anything to assist. I also need some additional time to prepare,”
💣BlackOp8💣

Schiff suggested Nunes was “complicit” in Trump’s impeachable conduct.

It is deeply concerning that when POTUS was using the power of his office to dig up dirt on a political rival, that there were members of Congress complicit in that activity.
💣BlackOp9💣

“In an exchange with Lev Parnas from March 28th, then-Chief Prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko made the quid pro quo explicit: get Trump to fire Yovanovitch, and replaced with a new ambassador, and then I will give you the dirt on Biden that you are seeking.”

📌DOJ withheld Kushner 302s much of this is REDACTED.

📌Below I have provided background on the Petr Aven & Robert Foresman 302s — yes Kushner is at the center.
cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/image…
Foresman 302:
GORKOV (Head of VEB) & TSEKHOMSKY told FORESMAN that their upcoming trip to the US has been authorized or sanctioned by Putin, & that they were briefing Putin upon their return.

Who did they meet with? KUSHNER.
“Kushner agreed to meet with Gorkov. The one-on-one meeting took place the next day, December 13, 2016, at the Colony Capital building (BARRACK) in Manhattan, where Kushner had previously scheduled meetings.”

While in Moscow REDACTED FORESMAN reached out to REDACTED. said that USHAKOV will be the official channel for the incoming national security advisor ... eventually he got a one on one meeting.
Foresman met with Flynn, Trump's incoming national security advisor. Foresman told Mueller that in the meeting he advised Flynn about who would be the better official channel with a direct line to Putin - Kislyak, or Yury Ushakov, a senior Kremlin aide.

Aven 302
In Dec 2016, REDACTED attended the Oligarch meeting with OFFICIAL-1 REDACTED. The meeting is held in the Kremlin and the attendee list is 50 people
In Dec 2016, a few weeks after Trump’s surprise election victory, Putin convened what a RU oligarch described as an “all-hands” meeting with some of his country’s top businessmen. A main topic of discussion: US sanctions against RU.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
One of the oligarchs present was Petr Aven, co-founder of Alfa Bank, Aven had recently met with with Putin one on one to discuss the sanctions and what to do about them. Putin said he had been struggling to get messages to Trump’s inner circle,

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
And urged Aven to take steps to protect his bank from additional U.S. penalties

Aven quickly understood that his mission was to contact the Trump transition team, and began an effort to contact Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
In other words, after Trump pulled off his surprise victory in an election marred by Russia’s attempts to sow discord and buoy Trump’s candidacy, Putin wanted to cash in.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
The attempts entailed outreaches “sanctioned at high levels of the Ru#U gov’t, through business rather than political contacts.” Putin’s chief concern, was getting the incoming Trump adm to roll back the U.S. sanctions hampering the Russian economy.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Among the oligarchs working to make inroads with Trump was Aven, the co-founder of Russia’s biggest private financial institution, Alfa Bank; Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund; &
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Sergey Gorkov, the head of the Russian-government owned bank Vnesheconombank, or VEB.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Two of the wealthy moguls succeeded.

Dmitriev was able to get a Putin-approved U.S.-Russia “reconciliation plan” to Kushner, who passed it to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
And Gorkov scored a meeting with Kushner during the transition period to discuss U.S.-Russia relations, according to Mueller.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Aven enlisted an American business associate, Richard Burt, formerly a U.S. ambassador to Germany, to help get through to Kushner.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
According to Mueller, Aven told Burt that “someone high in the Russian government” had expressed “interest in establishing a communication channel between the Kremlin and the Trump transition team.”

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Burt apparently found Aven’s request odd, but nonetheless approached Dmitri Simes, head of the Center for the National Interest, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank founded by Richard Nixon, about setting up a meeting.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
But Simes demurred, according to the report, citing the heightened media scrutiny surrounding Russia’s election interference.

Aven then dropped the matter.

📌Putin didn’t.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
The report says the Russian president “continued to inquire about Aven's efforts to connect to the Trump Administration in several subsequent quarterly meetings.”
