Breaking via Reuters: Lev Parnas, the indicted Ukrainian-American businessman who has ties to Rudy Giuliani, is now prepared to comply with requests for records and testimony from congressional impeachment investigators, his lawyer told Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-impeachment-parnas-exclusiv/exclusive-giuliani-associate-now-willing-to-comply-with-trump-impeachment-inquiry-lawyer-idUSKBN1XE297

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lev Parnas, an indicted Ukrainian-American businessman who has ties to President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is now prepared to comply with requests for records and testimony from congressional impeachment investigators, his lawyer told Reuters on Monday.

Parnas, who helped Giuliani look for dirt on Trump’s political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, is a key figure in the impeachment inquiry that is examining whether Trump abused his office for personal political gain.

His apparent decision to now work with the congressional committees represents a change of heart. Parnas rebuffed a request from three House of Representatives committees last month to provide documents and testimony.

“We will honor and not avoid the committee’s requests to the extent they are legally proper, while scrupulously protecting Mr Parnas’ privileges including that of the Fifth Amendment,” said the lawyer, Joseph Bondy, referring to his client’s constitutional right to avoid self-incrimination.

1. Trump will have him deported,

the way he did Butina.

[klook]

10. Unlike Butina,

Parnas is a U.S. citizen.

[gordianot]

21. Just goes and shows you the Russian Mob is not MS-13.

[IronLionZion]

32. The wall does nothing to stop Russian mobsters or spies from flying here

so we must build a dome instead of a wall.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. Butina was Putin's hand maiden

Trump wouldn't do anything to her, and really didn't, just gave her a month of talks, then let her go home......
She more than accomplished her job.........

Parnas will come back, fall under the Trump cloak of protection. Besides, what will the Dems be able to accomplish?
Make him testify and then turn him free like the rest???????

I don't know law, but who arrests and prosecutes? The DOJ? good luck with that. Trump owns the DOJ if that isn't evident by now.......

[klook]

28. I'm not saying Parma's is the magic Deus ex Machina,

I’m just saying I don’t think he can be deported.

[Progressive Jones]

30. Trump doesn't own the DOJ. The DOJ, and the rest of the

members of the long running right wing coup own Trump.

Barr is a high ranking member in that crew.

[gratuitous]

2. The first ones to jump get the best deals

After investigators have the goods on you, they don't need your cooperation unless you have some really good evidence to peddle.

[ChubbyStar]

19. Boom! Gotta get in there first, pushing to the front of the line

They all know this, they have been behaving this way since they got their first taste of $$$$$$$, I suspect a shit ton of people who suddenly "care" about this fucking situation will be wanting to "help."

Let the show begin!

[Leghorn21]

3. Some fine fine news for a Monday afternoon

muthafukkahs

[ChubbyStar]

20. From one salty old bird to another

I LOVE YOU!

[Leghorn21]

23. Well hey, I

back, Star!

[Takket]

4. He'll plead the fifth on everything to protect drumpf

[Midnight Writer]

5. Has Barr visited him in prison yet? Has someone checked that security cameras are working?

Are the prison guards taking No-Dose?

Is someone testing his soup with Geiger counters?

[klook]

11. Important questions. (nt)

[crickets]

6. Well, now. Things are getting kinda interesting!

Here's hoping he doesn't plead the Fifth to everything.

Also, will this bring Giuliani out of his silent bubble? Can't wait.

[awesomerwb1]

7. He'll submit nothingburger documents.

We should know how this game is played by now.

[TheRealNorth]

9. I wouldn't trust him

He may try to pull a Manafort-he could be trying to find out what the investigators know so that that information can be leaked back to Trump.

[malaise]

8. Not sure he can be trusted

we'll see

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. exactly. watch for diversion, deflection, deception

He could tell any tale.

Corroboration is needed, but then, we have Adam Schiff and lots of people who are used to dealing with criminals.

[malaise]

29. Natasha Bertrand on Chris Hayes is saying that Parnas is very upset with the Con claims

that he doesn't know him. He thought they were friends?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. takes a special kind of self-delusion to think Dirty Donnie is a friend

Maybe Parnas will tell everything he knows, if he now understands he was just a tool to the Con.

[Roland99]

36. A grifter spurned...

[BigmanPigman]

12. I expect interference

or a replay of Lewandowski.

[C_U_L8R]

14. It ain't over 'til he sings.

[Captain Zero]

33. I'm hoping he doesn't get Epsteined

Nt

[volstork]

15. He'll testify

....unless he winds up dead first.

We are dealing with gangsters here; they stop at nothing.

[erronis]

16. Check for incoming polonium or novichok

Falling from sealed windows 6 stories up.
Strangulation while all cameras are inoperable.

I'm sure trumputin would love to have this recorded so he could tweet how Parnas died, just like another dog.
(dump seems fixated on dogs. his father?)

[Miigwech]

17. Put him on suicide watch ... with working cameras

[George II]

18. He just bought a condominium in one of those building where the windows don't open.

[NCjack]

22. To "jump out," he has to be accelerated to window break-thru velocity,

and that usually requires being propelled by two Russian gorillas.

[Roland99]

24. That shit is bananas

I’ll see myself out now...

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Spill it Lev. Maybe it will cut a few years off. Whatdya got to lose?

[dawg day]

26. Hmmm... not sure whether to trust this--

But then, no honor among thieves. I hope he trips Rudy and Trump both.

[DallasNE]

31. Fifth Amendment Privileges Cited

In the opening remarks - very telling. Talk about having dirt. Rudy is about to be buried in the stuff. Bye, bye Rudy. Maybe the SDNY is listening and maybe thinking about immunity for him.

[Roland99]

35. If it's only on things on him personally....

I’m sure there is plenty he can give up otherwise

And he has incentive to plea given his campaign finance violation crimes
