Parnas mention Graham was about getting a visa for Shokin (sp) trump was involved with the attempt. Shokin was to testify to Graham about Biden's "corruption"

can the senators who have unclean hands be forced to recuse themselves from the impeachment trial?

Out damned spot! Out I say!—One, two. Why, then, ’tis time to do ’t. Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! A soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.

From my understanding of what Parnas said, Shokin was to be questioned by Graham and other GOPers in perhaps a Senate sham hearing.

Thank heavens for the whistleblower.

Although it wasn't clear Shokin was going to testify before the Senate. I got the impression Graham was going to question Shokin to see what he knew or what dirt he'd conjured up about Biden. Then, I expect Graham was planning to make the rw talk circuit to expound on whatever Shokin said to dirty up Biden.

Graham is definitely in the middle of the scheme though, and was to question Shokin.

I have no way of knowing this for a fact, but I believe Joe is truly saddened by being stabbed in the back by someone he thought to be a friend.
