Re: POTUS 45.59: It Was a Great Phone Call

People were riding the train this morning for the <strike>Klan</strike> Trump rally. All decked in their gear.

Because Trump is a Republican, and Clinton a Democrat. Don't expect any of those 15 to question, or be bothered by their hypocrisy.

The rules are different for Democrats.

Oh, man, yes this looks fun.

Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York charged the pair – as well as David Correia and Andrey Kukushkin – on two counts of conspiracy, false statements to the FEC, and falsifying records.

Prosecutors accuse the four of conspiring “to circumvent the federal laws against foreign influence by engaging in a scheme to funnel foreign money to candidates for federal and State office so that the defendants could buy potential influence” with politicians and government.

The indictment accuses Parnas and Fruman of funneling $325,000 in foreign cash to pro-Trump Super PAC America First Action in a mysterious transaction that TPM wrote about last month.

That PAC also benefitted an unnamed “then-sitting U.S. Congressman” who received a commitment from Parnas and Fruman for $20,000.

At around that time, the indictment reads, “Parnas met with Congressman-1 and sought Congressman-1’s assistance in causing the U.S. Government to remove or recall the then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine.”

Last year, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling for Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s removal, accusing her of being anti-Trump. America First Action reportedly spent more than $3 million to benefit Sessions during the 2018 election cycle.

Yovanovitch was fired in May 2019, after Ukraine’s then-prosecutor general Yuriy Lutsenko began to publicly accuse her of corruption, and after Giuliani pushed for her removal.

The indictment also details a scheme to create a marijuana business in Nevada. Parnas and Fruman allegedly funneled money from a foreign official to a Nevada state candidate’s election campaign in order to help secure a license for marijuana retail.

For the marijuana licensing venture, the pair allegedly worked with David Correia and Andrey Kukushkin. Correia allegedly drafted a table contemplating between $1 and $2 million in political contributions to accomplish the scheme. The unnamed foreign national allegedly wired $1 million in furtherance of the effort late last year, but it all stumbled on one hitch: the deadline for registering marijuana licenses in Nevada was September 2018.

So, the indictment alleges, the defendants attempted to contribute to a Nevada State candidate who was running for an office in which the candidate would be empowered to “change the rules.”

Imagine, as I’m sure you have already, if they spill their guts on Rudy and Trump.

This is going to be interesting to see play out. Does the administration interfere and get exposed or do they let it play out and hope the guys don’t squeal.

See, I don't expect any squealers. They're all part of the cult. What I am interested in is what evidence do those prosecutors have that caused them to go forward with an arrest in the first place. I find it hard to believe they bagged these guys and didn't find anything related to Giuliani's "work" in Ukraine along the way.

I'll bet right now Trump has already called Barr and told him what he wants done.
