Lev Parnas makes a scene at impeachment trial, telling senators: 'Call me'

President Trump's impeachment trial continued Wednesday with a media spectacle as Lev Parnas, an indicted Rudy Giuliani associate, showed up at the Capitol volunteering himself as a trial witness to senators. “Call me,” Parnas said as he arrived on Capitol Hill. Parnas said he came to Washington to make the case for witnesses in the impeachment trial and urged Republicans to vote in favor of allowing more evidence rather than ending the trial on Friday.

Free on bail on federal criminal charges in Manhattan, in recent weeks Parnas started a media tour that's created headaches for the White House and Trump allies. He released a trove of documents and texts to House impeachment investigators, including a handwritten note that mentions the president of Ukraine: “Get Zalensky [sic] to announce that the Biden case will be investigated.” Parnas then told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that “Trump knew exactly what was going on” with his dealings with Giuliani in Ukraine to hurt Joe Biden.

And just Saturday, Parnas’ attorney, Joseph Bondy, provided reporters a video of an April 2018 meeting in which Trump told associates he wanted then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired. "Get rid of her. Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it," Trump is heard saying on the video. Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, said Parnas has told lies and he's “heartbroken” by the betrayal. Trump has said he doesn't know Parnas.

In the spotlight again on Wednesday, Parnas said he wants the full story to come out. “I’m running on adrenaline,” Parnas said. “So far God’s been great. The truth has come out. I think the next step is to call John Bolton, call me. The rest will come out.” A crowd of media and onlookers gathered around Parnas when he arrived at D.C.'s Union Station by train Wednesday morning and walked to the Capitol to pick up a ticket to impeachment provided by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. But Parnas is expected to be locked out of the Senate chamber altogether because the GPS monitoring device on his ankle violates the no-electronics rule in the Senate.

Schumer said he gave Parnas tickets just like he would his constituents. “His lawyer called us up and asked for tickets, like many New York constituents, and we said you can get tickets — we give them out to New Yorkers who’ve asked," Schumer said. "I'm not sure if Parnas would be allowed in because of the electronics around his ankle.” Parnas said he made the trip because the country isn’t getting the full story on the impeachment trial. “The truth needs to get out and I think it’s extremely important for our country to hear witnesses because of what’s going on,” he said. Parnas was indicted in October by New York federal prosecutors on campaign finance charges alongside another Giuliani associate, Igor Fruman. They've pleaded not guilty

Lev Parnas Gave Congress The Contents Of His iPhone, Including His Searches On Sex-Hookup Websites

Among the trove of iPhone records that Lev Parnas recently gave Congress to help in the impeachment of President Donald Trump are the Soviet-born businessman’s porn files, as well as searches on a sex hookup website shut down by the Justice Department, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of the files. The files show searches conducted on Backpage.com, a website called FreeFuckBuddyTonight.com, and Porn Hub, the popular porn website. The searches on Backpage were conducted for potential hook-ups in London, Ft. Lauderdale, the Florida Keys, and West Palm Beach, where Parnas resides, a database of the iPhone files shows. The searches were likely conducted before January 2017, when Backpage took down its sex work advertisements because of allegations that it contributed to the sex trafficking of minors. The Justice Department unsealed charges against Backpage on April 9, 2018.

The documents do not show whether Parnas met with anyone from the hook-up websites, and there is no indication of any wrongdoing on his part. But the files paint a more complete picture of the information that Parnas has provided to Congress in his pro-impeachment crusade. Democrats and news outlets alike have recently embraced the formerly pro-Trump Parnas because of information he has provided about Ukraine-related work he conducted with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani in 2018 and 2019.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer invited Parnas and his lawyer, Joseph Bondy, to attend the Trump impeachment trial on Wednesday. Parnas was unable to attend because of restrictions stemming from his legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York. He instead waited in Schumer’s offices.

A grand jury in New York indicted Parnas and three associates on Oct. 10 on illegal campaign finance charges. Investigators cracked Parnas’s iPhone on Dec. 3. Bondy has waged a successful court battle to provide the contents of Parnas’s iPhone to the House Intelligence Committee. House Democrats have since released text messages that Parnas exchanged with Giuliani and other Trump associates, mostly regarding an effort to force the removal of Marie Yovanovitch as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.

Parnas and Bondy have also embarked on a public relations campaign that appears aimed at burnishing the businessman’s image in the eyes of the public and of prosecutors. “I am able to say to my judge at the end of this day, no matter what happens, he tried very hard and what he did that was so helpful transcends him,” Bondy told CNN for an article published Jan. 20. In interviews on CNN and MSNBC on Jan. 15, Parnas portrayed himself as a loyal worker-bee to Giuliani in a quest to dig up dirt in Ukraine.

Parnas told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he had no personal motive to get rid of Yovanovitch, and that his opinion of her came from the pro-Trump crowd in which he operated. “Over the time it grew more and more and more and more and more and eventually I felt like I hated her because you know everybody hated her,” Parnas said of Yovanovitch. But Parnas appears to have been interested in removing the career diplomat from her Ukraine post well before he began working with Giuliani. At a private event with Trump on April 30, 2018, Parnas told the commander-in-chief that Yovanovitch was bad-mouthing him, and telling associates that he would be impeached. “The biggest problem there, I think where we need to start, is we gotta get rid of the ambassador. She’s still left over from the Clinton administration,” Parnas tells Trump in the recording, according to ABC News. “She’s basically walking around telling everybody ‘Wait, he’s gonna get impeached, just wait.'”

AG Barr Compares Working With Trump And Bush: ‘I Love Both Men,’ But Trump ‘Listens’

Attorney General William Barr discussed working with former President George W. Bush and President Donald Trump, saying that he loves “both men” and adding that “Trump listens.” Barr discussed the differences between Bush and Trump during an interview with Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, and co-host, Father Dave Dwyer, CSP on their show “Conversation with Cardinal Dolan” on SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel. Barr also served as attorney general for Bush.

“They’re very different,” he explained. “I love both men. H.W., was more low-key. He had a very strong interest in foreign policy in which he really focuses attention on.” Barr added that Trump is “very hands on.” “He’ll bring people in to explain things to them,” he said. “He’ll reach down and bring the experts in … and he listens.” The attorney general sees Trump several times a week, he told Dolan and Dwyer. “He’s very easy to work with. He has a good sense of humor. He’s very direct.”

Barr explained that what people see of Trump in public is “very much what you see in private.” “He doesn’t have two different acts that he puts on,” Barr added. “He’s much more engaged than people give him credit for, and he’s a strong leader. He is getting things done. I just sometimes say if he wasn’t facing the resistance that he is and the dogged opposition that he faces, you just wonder how much more he could accomplish because he’s accomplished a lot in the face of great resistance.”

Agreed on the information platforms in China..I also agree with the numbers, but there is also this: Take a close look at the construction of the "New Hospitals" being made from containers..there are videos on #Wuhan, showing this. What really grabbed my attention were 2 things..they show the interior of these things not sure how this would work for hospital purposes. Lastly there are windows with what look more like prison bars.
