Lev Parnas’ attorney Joseph Bondy is seeking a federal judge’s permission to attend the Senate trial tomorrow.
Part of the logistical problem of whether Lev Parnas can attend:

Senate rules prohibit electronic devices in the gallery—like GPS monitoring.

No exceptions.
Judge’s Order:

Lev Parnas can go to Washington to attend the Senate trial, but he may not have his GPS monitoring removed, a condition needed to sit in the gallery.

In this conversation, Senator Johnson noted, accurately, that the letter didn't explicitly name Shokin.

It stated: "We similarly urge you to press ahead with urgent reforms to the Prosecutor General's office and judiciary," at a time that Shokin held that office for +1 year.
The full text of the letter is here: portman.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
"I don't even know Shokin was at the time," Johnson told me during our conversation.

The letter Johnson signed called for "urgent reforms" to the office that Shokin had then held for more than a year.

White House lawyers, including Patrick Philbin and Jay Sekulow, are all in on Alan Dershowitz's argument that the articles as written are not enough to remove Trump.

A quid pro quo on foreign aid to investigate a political rival is not impeachable, they say.
Consider the ramifications of this argument:

A U.S. president can pressure a foreign power to investigate a political rival, or anyone else, with the threat of withholding foreign aid, with impunity--and even if the scheme is unmasked and proven, cannot be removed from office.
To be clear, the White House lawyers still deny that happened, but they argue that denial is immaterial.

Their legal theory is that Trump can't be removed from office even if they admitted it.

Listening to Repr. Jeffries for the House Impeachment Managers.

He has opened up a great door for Trump's team, whether it is intentional or not. Focusing on why the tape was placed into a more highly classified system. He even said it was placed their to prevent tampering!
This opens up an explanation of why the WH was worried about the transcript being tampered with. As we know Vindman admitted to tampering with the April transcript. He also wanted to change the word "company" to "Burisma" in the July 25th transcript.
But more importantly, it leads back to Comey's memo from 2/8/17. Comey documented that someone had leaked transcripts of the President's phone calls with 2 foreign leaders. But also that the leaked transcripts were not accurate according to WH officials.

Let me just sum up the last 3 days in case you were busy and weren't paying attention:

#1:

@GenFlynn files to withdraw his guilty plea & then his defense counsel @SidneyPowell1 makes a new filing clearly demonstrating lead prosecutor Brandon Van Grack engaging in misconduct.
@GenFlynn @SidneyPowell1 #2:

As part of a sudden damage control cycle, the NYT's publishes a story revealing that fired FBI Director James Comey is under investigation by the DOJ for 'years-old' criminal leaks to the news media back in 2017.
@GenFlynn @SidneyPowell1 #3:

Trump waits until after the Democrats vote to send the impeachment articles to the Senate, until after all the House impeachment managers are selected, until after Chief Justice John Roberts starts the trial by swearing all the Senators in to unveil his full defense team.
