House Democrats released new documents Friday evening showing extensive contact between an associate of President Trump’s personal attorney and an aide to the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee regarding the effort to obtain material from Ukrainian prosecutors that would be damaging to former vice president Joe Biden.

The text messages between Lev Parnas, who functioned as Rudolph W. Giuliani’s emissary to Ukrainian officials, and Derek Harvey, an aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, indicate Nunes’s office was aware of the operation at the heart of impeachment proceedings against the president — and sought to use the information Parnas was gathering.

While Nunes was presiding over the House impeachment inquiry, taking every opportunity to mock the very idea of a conspiracy to coerce Ukraine to dig up dirt on Trump's political opponent, he actually knew the allegations were true.

I hope Hell has a special place for treasonous liars like Devin Nunes.

Nunes' "top aide" arranged meetings with Ukrainian officials for Parnas and Giuliani.

And as usual, when Republicans accuse Democrats of something, they're announcing what they're already doing or plan on doing. When Nunes demanded that Schiff testify, I should have known that what he was really saying is that he needed to testify.

Instead of Hell, I'd be happy with a warm cell in Federal prison.

Here's a bit more from the Post article:

The newly released texts show that Parnas was working last spring to set up calls for Harvey with the Ukrainian prosecutors who were feeding Giuliani information about Biden.
[Last spring. The impeachment hearings were in November. I wonder if Nunes will say he "forgot" in the intervening six months.]

“Also do you want to interview the general prosecutor who got [ditched] by Biden ? Also the anti corruption prosecutor ? Let me know,” Parnas wrote on April 19.

“Does tomorrow work?” Harvey responded.

The messages also show that Harvey met with Parnas and Giuliani at the Trump hotel in Washington.

Harvey and a spokesman for Nunes did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The text messages corroborate Parnas’s previous claims that he arranged conversations with the Ukrainian prosecutors for the Nunes aide. And they deepen questions about how much Nunes knew about the pressure campaign — even as he served as one of Trump’s most vociferous defenders during the House impeachment hearings.

“I was in shock when I was watching the hearings and when I saw Devin Nunes sitting up there,” Parnas told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow this week. “I texted my attorney. I said, ‘I can’t believe this is happening.’ ”
[...]
Records that the House Democrats released in December first showed calls between Parnas and Nunes. At the time, Nunes said he couldn’t remember speaking with Parnas.

On Thursday, Nunes told Fox News that he had reviewed his records, which refreshed his memory of having one conversation.

The messages show that Parnas and Harvey exchanged numerous communications beginning in February and set up several in person meetings, including with key individuals around Giuliani that were most involved in the Biden effort.


This is just jaw-dropping. I keep thinking that Republicans can't go any lower. Joke's on me, I guess.

Captain Shaw? Captain Raymond Shaw? Captain Raymond Prentiss Shaw?

It's time for Pelosi to impeach his ass, too.
 
Re: Text Messages Show Devon Nunes was Deep Into Ukraine Blackmail Scheme

I hope Pence cannot be significantly implicated. If I have to say President Pelosi, it will be the worst thing Republicans have ever done to me.

At least get your facts straight. Nunes never presided over the House impeachment inquiry...unless you somehow think he and Schiffty look alike. (shudder)

Now all you have to do is find out if those text messages are, in fact, facts...and not lies.
 
Re: Text Messages Show Devon Nunes was Deep Into Ukraine Blackmail Scheme

One has to wonder how such an ethically bankrupted politician as Devin Nunes can have any appeal to the voters of the Californian 22nd congressional district.

As ranking member he is presiding, for the R party, oopps the Trump party

Make it a cold one. Who knows, Hell might be freezing cold? Prisons are less 'cozy' when their cell is cold. :)

That's nonsense. There is only one person who presides in a committee hearing, and it's not the ranking member.

Weeeelllll Nutty Nunes kept denying ANY contact with Paras until documents you think might be lies, THEN Nunes 'remembers' a brief meaningless exchange (of course)

So who is lying is leaning toward the tRump fluffer…. :peace

Nunes certainly shouldn’t be a member of the gang of 8. The only one of the four Republicans in that gang that can be trusted is Sen. Burr.

This is what a hot political civil war looks like, with GOP House and Senate members legally and treasonously compromised with trump and his entire executive branch.

Nunes has made a joke of the Republican House. Trumpian puppet.

Seriously? Did you REALLY have to waste my time with that bit of useless, irrelevant opinion?

You are dismissed.

Those documents MIGHT be lies. If they are, then Nunes might not be lying.

In any event, what makes you think Nunes had any contact with that criminal who's trying to save his ass?

That's like saying that Schiffty had contact with Ciaramella...which Schiffty continues to deny.

Or...like all progressives, liberals and Trump haters are you pretending not to know things?

He presided over it as Ranking Member, deciding who on the Republican side could have questioning ability and time. He used his extensive "opening remarks" as Ranking Member (the same amount of time Adam Schiff had) to castigate witnesses he knew were telling the truth, along with deflecting, distracting, and outright LYING. I can't believe he could actually look Ambassador Yovanovich in the face, when it was actually Nunes himself and his staff who orchestrated the shattering of her life and reputation.

One thing about Parnas, he has "receipts" for his testimony, and corroboration up the wazoo. Nunes, meanwhile, will no doubt be discussing all this with the FBI, with his lawyer by his side.

He also accused Schiff of knowing the identity of the WB and coordinating with them, knowing full well everyday he sat in on those hearings making those accusations, that he was a co-conspirator in the whole plan involving the Ukraine scheme to smear Biden and Yavanovitch right along with Rudy THE WHOLE TIME.

To think that POS had the nerve to harass journalists and threaten lawsuits for connecting the dots. He is truly a fascist.

Shudder is right. I wouldn't wish the face of Ninny Nunes on an enemy! Look at this idiot?

Ninny Cow Nunes admitting to it on TV? I'll go with that, and the phone records, and now the extensive contact between that criminal and Ninny Cow Nunes' aid. Denial is not a river in Egypt, but it's funny! :lamo

BUT WHAT ABOUT!!!???? I know you have to defend these corrupt, lying morons on every thread, but this isn't your best effort.

I saw his weak, mumbling excuse for Lev being in his call records. Comedy gold. What a weasel of a scumbag Nunes is!

Go to the 4:22 mark in the video and watch him try to bob and weave:



Nunes is up to his neck!
