NEW: In dueling letters, SDNY prosecutors and Lev Parnas' attorney Joseph Bondy have been sparring about the speed of the government's production of his hard drives and documents.

Parnas claims the slow-roll has impeded his vetting as a Congressional witness.
In the SDNY letter that started the exchange, prosecutors revealed their intent to "have produced the vast majority of responsive materials within its possession to the defendants in advance of the next conference," which is scheduled for Feb. 3.

More evidence ahead.
Read the exchange in full.

Bondy's response:

Defense attorney observed by my colleague passing a juror a note during a trial. 🔽
The jury’s foreman.
Note: To expand on this analogy just one more time...

From inside the press gallery, reporters can get a pretty good view of the jurors and advocates—but not of the judge.

Traditionally, in a democracy, the nation’s top diplomat does not privately harangue and then publicly slime a reporter for asking fair and newsworthy questions.
The dubious final line of Secretary Pompeo’s missive suggests he’s trying to do to NPR’s national security correspondent what was done to his ousted Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in The Hill.
Listen to @NPRKelly's unedited, 11-minute interview with Pompeo.

Then ask yourself: Does this interviewer strike you as someone who can't tell Ukraine from Bangladesh on a map, or did the defensive interviewee concoct a retaliatory smear? npr.org/2020/01/24/799…

NEW: The "Take her out" recording reported today was made by Igor Fruman and shared with Lev Parnas "shortly after it was recorded," according to Parnas's attorney Joseph Bondy.

For @CNN with @eorden and @KaraScannell: cnn.com/2020/01/24/pol…
@CNN @eorden @KaraScannell Parnas has previously described in interviews the 2018 dinner at which the recording allegedly takes place. Parnas has said that at that dinner, he witnessed Trump telling a top aide, John DeStefano, to fire the ambassador.
@CNN @eorden @KaraScannell "In the conversation, the subject of Ukraine was brought up," Parnas told CNN. "And I told the President that—our opinion—that [Yovanovitch] is bad-mouthing him and that she said that he's gonna get impeached—something like that. I don't know if that's word for word."

🔥#Parnas just corroborated David Holmes’ #impeachment testimony, saying #Trump talked so loudly, Parnas could hear him on calls w/ Rudy #Giuliani. Parnas tells #Maddow he was present “lots of times” when Rudy spoke by phone w/Trump—who “knew everything” about their #Ukraine work
#Parnas says #Pence had to know of #Ukraine pressure campaign. He says Trump sent Pence to meet Zelensky in Poland, using a hurricane as an excuse not to go himself, mad that Zelensky still hadn’t given in to his pressure. So Trump bailed on WW2 ceremony to further the pressure‼️
#Parnas tells #Maddow that Attorney General #BARR was "basically on the team" with #Giuliani and Victoria #Toensing & Joe #DiGenova (lawyers for #Firtash, indicted Ukrainian oligarch linked to #Russian organized crime).

Lev Parnas' attorney, Joseph Bondy, tells me: "Everything that Mr. Parnas has been attempting to convey to Congress and the American public would appear to be validated by the existence of phone records for Devin Nunes, Rudy Giuliani, President Trump."
Lev Parnas' attorney, Joseph Bondy, added: "Devin Nunes was definitely part of an attempt to gather information about the Bidens. He was definitely involved in Ukraine. He definitely had involvement in the GOP shadow diplomacy efforts in Ukraine, contrary to his claims."
Lev Parnas had "no idea" that House Intel Committee had phone records of his calls w/ Rudy Giuliani and Devin Nunes. But Parnas' lawyer said it is "particularly gratifying" that physical evidence of Nunes' connection has been revealed through phone records after Nunes' denials.

NEW COURT FILING: $325k donation to pro-TRUMP super PAC @AmericaFirstPAC was illegal because it came from "asset protection vehicle" used for "the sole purpose to defraud the numerous creditors of LEV PARNAS," claims one such creditor, citing bank records. documentcloud.org/documents/6194…
@AmericaFirstPAC If the name LEV PARNAS sounds familiar, he's the Ukrainian-American operative who helped RUDY GIULIANI dig for dirt on @JoeBiden in Ukraine, as we revealed in May.

(The Parnas-linked donation to TRUMP's super PAC pre-date Parnas's Ukraine work with Rudy). nytimes.com/2019/05/09/us/…
@AmericaFirstPAC @JoeBiden LEV PARNAS is an interesting character.

Apparently separate from his Ukraine digging for RUDY GIULIANI, Parnas also has worked with the well-connected pro-TRUMP lobbyist BRIAN BALLARD, as revealed by @Lachlan, who has doggedly tracked Parnas's activity. thedailybeast.com/trumpworld-lob…
