Lev Parnas’s lawyer Bondy told @maddow the discussion with Trump, Fruman and others was dinner talk about cannabis, liquified natural gas, Javelin missiles

...dinner talk 🙄

And Bondy evaded question from @maddow on who gave Parnas negative info on Yovanovitch he shared w/Trump
Parts of the tape were played by @maddow and it’s still shocking to hear Lev Parnas - who worked for several penny stock fraud companies, is embroiled in lawsuits and works for Dmitry Firtash - telling the US president to get rid of Yovanovitch and Trump immediately acts upon it
@maddow Lev Parnas's lawyer Joseph Bondy's early clients included convicted wise guy Peter Gotti "a wonderful client who totally got the shaft because of his last name" and retired NYC detective who was convicted of being a mob hit man

In 2018 US pastor Dale Armstrong and dozens of Ukrainian Christian groups sent a letter to Pompeo demanding Yovanovitch's ouster because she backed LGBTQ rights

In 2017 Dale Armstrong was paid $90,000 per FARA filing w/Andriy Artemenko, by @ChristopherJM

@ChristopherJM In 2017 I had tweeted about Artemenko's FARA filing with Dale Armstrong (who is part of the American Pastor Network led by Sam Rohrer)

With GOP hyping Burisma/Biden, MSM should note (& investigate) Trump associates linked to Burisma

Russian GRU targeted some Burisma subsidiaries including KUB Gas, co-owned by Burisma & Cub Energy

I recently wrote about 2 people linked to Cub Energy /1
nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
In Oct Politico reported Rick Perry pressed Ukraine on corruption & making changes at Naftogaz, floating the name of Robert Bensh to join Naftogaz board - Bensh is an exec at Pelicourt, the majority owner of Cub Energy, which co-owns KUB Gas with Burisma
Frank Mermoud is a director of Cub Energy, co-owner with Burisma of KUB Gas

Mermoud is close to Manafort and coordinated the Washington diplomatic corps at the Republican National Convention when platform was changed to remove references to arming Ukraine

THREAD: Lev Parnas interview on #Maddow:

Trump Lied.

Lev had one on one convos alone with Trump.

Lev was with Rudy when he spoke to Trump. Trump would yell through the phone.

"It was all about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Rudy had a thing about Manafort and the black ledger."
Lev says he was Giuliani's client, and working for @Potus via Rudy.

Lev would go to Ukraine officials and say: "I'm here on behalf of Rudy Giuliani and the @Potus.

For Ukraine, more important than the aid, was the WH visit.

Announcement of the investigation was key.... [pause]
@POTUS ...if Zalenksy didn't announce the Biden(s) investigation, VP would not come to the inauguration.

Pence's trip was canceled, b/c no announcement commitment.

Everybod was in the loop, including Pence. Pence went to Poland to discuss this with Zelensky.

SCOOP: The House Intelligence Committee is in possession of audio and video recordings and photographs provided by indicted Giuliani associate, Lev Parnas.

The submitted recordings and photos include Giuliani and Trump. Lordy! There are tapes.
abcn.ws/35sTGXY
The tapes were provided as part of that congressional subpoena issued to Lev Parnas.

Some material sought by congressional investigators is already in possession of federal investigators within the SDNY and thus held up from being turned over.
#Maddow
“Mr. Parnas reasonably believed Giuliani’s directions [to encourage Firtash to dig up dirt on Biden] reflected the interests and wishes of the president, given Parnas having witnessed and in several instances overheard Giuliani speaking with the president.”

"The New York Times reported in 5/18 that Ukraine had “halted cooperation” with Mueller’s investigation. The paper quoted Volodymyr Ariev, a parliament ally of Poroshenko, explaining: “In every possible way, we will avoid irritating the top American officials.”
"Why was Marie Yovanovitch , the U.S. ambassador to Kyiv, fired in May? Trump, Giuliani and their allies had been attacking her since *early 2018*, but for what reason? Lutsenko, the Ukrainian prosecutor, told the Hill in March that she had given him a “do not prosecute” order,"
"Yovanovitch said during her Oct. 11 testimony to House investigators: “Individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr. Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.”

😨Ex CIA Bob Baer suggests the “urgent credible threat” in the whistleblower complaint (that DNI won’t give Congress) ”usually” has something to do w/ someone in White House setting up an illegal backchannel to a foreign govt, or some sort of corruption, discovered by CIA or NSA.
🚨>> Whistleblower complaint involves TRUMP’S communications with a foreign leader that included a “promise” regarded so troubling it prompted an official in the US intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
In the weeks before the “urgent & credible” whistleblower complaint about Trump’s “promise” to a foreign leader, he had interactions with:
1) Russia’s Putin that WH initiated
2) 2 “beautiful” letters from North Korea’s Kim Jong Un
3) Pakistan’s PM
4) Netherlands’ PM
5) Qatar emir
