NEW: With Lev Parnas’s legal fate still in limbo, @KaraScannell and I offer a closer look at Parnas’s lawyer Joseph A. Bondy and his high-wire legal act: cnn.com/2020/01/20/pol…
@KaraScannell The Parnas documents released two days before the articles of impeachment were delivered to the Senate jolted a trial that had largely been mapped out for weeks. The legal strategy is risky, but Bondy's career is dotted with defendants many might shy away from representing.
@KaraScannell "I have no doubt [prosecutors] deliberately tried to thwart the flow of this evidence. I have no doubt that it was a belief that if you circle the wagons with these lawyers and then put a lid on Lev that's part of a coordinated plan to protect the President," @josephabondy says.
@KaraScannell @josephabondy On Monday, Bondy asked Attorney General William Barr to recuse himself from the investigation.
