Lev Parnas says Trump knew about Ukraine pressure campaign
In a message dated April 10, Parnas asks Sargeant about a trip that"just got canceled, adding that"we have people scheduled to meet on Saturday in Vienna."Parnas subsequently told Sargeant that"we" are paying him back for the flights and that he was “never expecting [Sargeant] to pay for it." According to House investigators, Parnas flew to Ukraine four days after this conversation.
U.S. businessman Harry Sargeant III speaks to Reuters at his home in Gulf Stream, Fla., Feb. 7, 2019.Sargeant's attorney Chris Kise told ABC News his client has not been to Ukraine in over a decade for any purpose. In a statement, Kise denied Sargeant had any involvement in any plan to remove Yovanovitch and said Sargeant loaned money for Parnas' air travel, but never offered to pay for it outright.
Parnas and Hicks were in contact for at least four months, messages show, as the scheme to oust then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yavnovotich and pressure Ukraine to announce political investigations unfolded. At times, Hicks and Parnas exchanged articles about the Biden campaign and Ukranian election meddling conspiracy theories. Hicks appeared to offer Parnas guidance.
Just a few weeks later, Parnas posted a photo on Facebook showing him at a breakfast with Hicks, alongside Donald Trump Jr. and fellow Giuliani associate Igor Fruman.ABC News made attempts to reach Hicks by phone at his home and at the RNC but was not able to reach him for comment. Shortly after Parnas and Fruman were named as part of the House impeachment inquiry, the two were indicted in ain the Southern District of New York on charges related to alleged illegal straw contributions and foreign contributions. They both pleaded not guilty. Among Parnas' donations mentioned in the indictment is a $325,000 contribution to America First Action.

How
The Trump supporters actually trust these guys. Their foolish to believe that Trump really has their best interest at heart. Although the white nationalist could be another story, Trump seems to favor their ideology.
OK why is indicted For speeding?
Justice in the USA is sold to the highest bidder. Will a jury of old, white, male gutless senators convict on facts? Will it even allow witnesses? Trump’s “white-power-klan” of McCarthyist senators have no decency. They are guilty of covering up 3 years of Trump’s crimes.
Trump is in big trouble he's been set up by his own friends you don't play these types of games with the white house trump you crossed the wrong people by getting in bed with Russia.
Its time to change Parnas' description from 'Giuliani associate' to 'GOP insider'. The man was in the middle of all the corruption and like Mariia Butina, there are enough selfies and emails to hang them all.
Nobody cares. MAGA and KAG.
We need to connect this to the Russian collusion. Swear the dots are there. Hence 3rd articles of impeachment
Can this man be trusted? Where was he all along?
Fake news. It's on desperation
We need to connect this to the Russian collision. Swear the dots are there. Hence 3rd articles of impeachment
Another soon-to-be failed liberal talking point. Media needs to do their due diligence. After all, their journalistic credibility needs some shoring up.
