Two Tickets to Paradise, Lev and Igor tried to fly away

Rudy Giuliani’s fixers for the Ukraine caper just got arrested

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were arrested for campaign finance violations while trying to leave the country.

At nearly every step of Rudy Giuliani’s effort to get the Ukrainian government to investigate Trump’s political rivals, Giuliani has been accompanied by two men often described as his “fixers”: Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.

But the latest dizzying twist in the unfolding Ukraine scandal is that Parnas and Fruman were arrested Wednesday evening — at Dulles Airport, as they were trying to leave the United States with one-way tickets — and charged with campaign finance law violations.

Let's hope their conversation with Rudy was caught in surveillance.
