Meet The Businessman Helping Giuliani Find Dirt On Democrats In Ukraine


Long before President Trump's now-famous call with Ukraine's president in July, Rudy Giuliani was regularly meeting with Ukrainian officials in pursuit of dirt against Democratic opponents.

He was not alone. There was a "guy" with him. In the news business we call them fixers — guides who know local people and can make introductions, set up meetings and translate interviews.

Lev Parnas, a businessman who says he splits his time between Florida and New York, was one of Giuliani's fixers. Parnas says he is a U.S. citizen but was born in Odessa, Ukraine, back when it was part of the Soviet Union.

Parnas helped Giuliani search for evidence to promote a theory of corruption in Ukraine by Joe Biden, who could become Trump's Democratic rival in the 2020 election. Biden's son Hunter, who was on the board of a gas company in Ukraine, also was a focus.

That corruption theory isn't holding up under scrutiny, as NPR's Lucian Kim has reported.

Parnas argues not all the facts about this and other conspiracies are known yet. And he is not ready to release all the information now.

While he's keeping that information secret, Parnas has confirmed a few things outlined in a whistleblower complaint that was made public this week.

I agree, since Trump took office all standards have been lowered, almost to the point on non-existence. :(

I notice that you posted the phrase that questioned whether this person who was born in another country. Do you or the "journalist" who wrote this have any reason to doubt he is a citizen. If not is this just another smear campaign against people you do not like, or perhaps the religion this person may be?

If you have no response to this,then it is fair to just flush this op where it belongs.

What phrase and what person are you talking about?

Prior to the FBI using foreign nationals to undermine a political campaign, this might have been disastorous.

If y'all don't like it, you have your own partisans to thank.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even notice that or pay it any mind. The author of the article knows more about his man than I do, I've never heard of him before. I really don't care if he is US born or not. Maybe I missed something else in the article, but I have no idea what religion Parnas belongs to. I don't dislike the man at all.

As far as religion, I have no problem with whatever religious beliefs people have, as long as they don't condemn others for their faith or try to cram their religious beliefs down other people's throats, or discriminate against others under the guise that it is against their personal beliefs.
 
Hmm, I wonder if this guy chipped in on the Steele Dossier?

If you don't like your criminal president getting impeached, don't vote for a criminal.





Don't be predictable... no I didn't vote for Hillary
