Giuliani associate wants to testify that Nunes aides hid Ukraine meetings on Biden dirt from Schiff

Source: CNBC

WASHINGTON – The lawyer for an indicted business associate of Rudy Giuliani said his client is prepared to testify under oath that aides to Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, scrapped a trip to Ukraine this year when they realized it would mean notifying Democratic Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff.

Lev Parnas would tell Congress that the purpose of the planned trip was to interview two Ukrainian prosecutors who claim to have evidence that could help President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, Parnas’ attorney, Joseph Bondy, told CNBC. Nunes is one of Trump’s most outspoken defenders in Congress. Giuliani is one of the president’s personal lawyers.

But when Nunes’ staff realized that going to Ukraine themselves would mean alerting Schiff to their plans, they instead asked Parnas to set up the meetings for them over phone and Skype, which he did, according to Bondy.

The Intelligence Committee is leading the House’s impeachment inquiry into Trump. It wrapped up two weeks of public hearings Thursday during which several Trump administration officials described a pressure campaign to influence Ukraine into saying it would investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, the frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, and a discredited conspiracy theory regarding the 2016 election.

should be given the same consideration everyone else is given in the justice system and not special consideration just because he is a member of Congress.

They seized all of his electronics when he was arrested. They have interviewed him.

They have travel records, phone intercepts, and credit card details for all parties (including soklav).

Yet, they don't seem to care. Nor will they.

there is a guy behind and left of Nunes. He is so fat, his face looks like a very large thumb with a face on it. If he went on that trip, it would likely cost two seats, plus double food, etc. If he was in on this mess, there is no way anyone would forget his description. He makes tRump look almost "normal" sized - almost.

what do you think of the president of the USA calling politicians "shifty" "crooked" "racist"? Are those insults alright as long a the Chosen One (according to Perry and others) use them? Please do not reply, I stated a TRUTH, the guy is obese. Nunes is DUMB. Gym Jordan is strange.

How to Record Your Skype Calls

https://www.pcmag.com/feature/361911/how-to-record-your-skype-calls

Just click or tap the “Forward” option in the menu on desktop or mobile. To record a call without anyone else on it knowing, you'll still need third-party software that can either capture your computer's audio or record its screen.

They need this guy in front of a Dem committee and get as much out as possible before the GOP Senate trial. I don’t trust that it will be run fairly and fear road blocks will be put in front of Dem witnesses? Not sure how tight they can make the rules??

We have all seen how well subpoenas work with this criminal cabal. Only truly DECENT people respond to subpoenas. Traitors all stick together as we have seen.

In the abc report they said "some" of what lev had was seized by the fbi at the time of his arrest. They have requested those materials but so far, nothing.

They do have a pile of evidence he apparently had copies of though.

Witnesses have testified that the White House knew there is no "dirt" on Hunter Biden. Trump wanted to create the appearance of dirt.

The media is doing Trump's work for him.
