and Congressional Repugs - one has to consider the following: 1. How is it he had such close access to these people? 2. How is it that he happened to be in all these relatively secure places? Surely Trump is surrounded by bodyguards/Secret Service. Parnas must have been well known in these circles he's been pictured in. I don't buy for a moment that people he's been pictured with don't know him.

(5,271 posts)Ironic that they are trashing their former Trump worshiping buddy who got all kinds of access due to his fundraising efforts because he has now been indicted for crimes of funneling foreign (Russian/Ukraine) money to Repub candidates and pro-Trump Pac.

(25,263 posts)do no newspeople assigned to Trump ever challenge him with their knowledge of Lev's role in fund raising?

(51,623 posts)They always think their loyalty will be rewarded, even when they see first hand how badly he treats his ex-pals when they are caught and are in personal, legal trouble themselves.

(14,961 posts)I think Trump, introduced Lev and Rudy. For some reason, Lev downplayed their relationship..he said, when Trump acted like he didn't know him, he felt like family turned their back on him. I think he was the closest thing Trump had to a best friend..well other than Rudy.

(11,742 posts)Trump and his family lie habitually and pathologically. Their followers eat up their lies.
Of course they know Parnas.

(20,002 posts)Dump's inner circle probably told Secret Service that Lev was "one of the team," perhaps because he was a fundraiser. The money is all that matters, ya know.
I'm curious about the origins of the Ukrainian plot and who dreamed it up. Maybe Putin who could also benefit if Ukraine didn't get the U.S. help it needed? At some point Lev entered the picture as he was a child immigrant from Ukraine who spoke Ukrainian and was now one of the cult. Perfect!
