Well gosh, this is exciting. Lev Parnas, the recently indicted Ukrainian friend of Guilliani and Donald Trump arranged travel and meetings for Devin Nunes (yes the same Devin Nunes now leading the Republicans indictment defence on the intelligence committee) to Europe in Nov/Dec 2018 for reasons that are still unclear.
Just to be clear, Lev Parnas was one of the two Ukrainians who worked with Rudy Guilliani on the Ukrainian backchannel that lead to them smearing Ambassador Yovanovitch and having Trump remove her from office, and then pushed the demand to the Ukrainian president regarding announcing an investigation into the 2016 election conspiracy theories and Joe/Hunter Biden.
Parnas and his colleague Igor Fruman have now of course been charged with planning to direct funds from a foreign government "to U.S. politicians while trying to influence U.S.-Ukraine relations". They were arrested trying to leave the US with one way tickets.
So now we find out that this gentleman worked closely with Devin Nunes on Ukraine. The same Devin Nunes who has been standing up in the impeachment hearings day after day and spouting repeated conspiracy theories and trying to undermine witnesses testimonies at all costs. Gosh.
Oh and that trip to the Ukraine Devin took? He and three aides managed to spend an eye watering $63,000 in just four days. That's $16,000 a day for four people. For any other travelling businessmen out there, I'm sure those numbers will have particular resonance. This isn't the president travelling with a security detail, this is four guys travelling commercial.
Rep. Devin Nunes got help from indicted Giuliani associate Lev Parnas for 2018 Europe trip
In happier news, Rep. Eric Swalwell was kind enough to enter this into the congressional record at the hearings yesterday.
