Exclusive photos of Giuliani in Spain show Lev Parnas has lots more to share

[Mrs. Overall]

Stored in devices seized from Lev Parnas by law enforcement, there's a 34-second cell phone video of Rudy Giuliani relishing a bullfight. There are also photos of Donald Trump's personal attorney posing with two matadors, a flamenco dancer twirling her skirt and an image of the father of Venezuela's opposition leader beside a tray of hors d'oeuvres on the lawn of a Spanish castle.

The videos and photographs of Giuliani's trip to Spain, obtained exclusively by CNN, show the efforts Parnas went through to document and save a trove of information. They have aided a slow-drip campaign by Parnas' legal team to keep the indicted Giuliani associate in the limelight as he builds a defense for his indictment, and could plague Giuliani—and ultimately the President—well after impeachment has passed.

Last week, Parnas and his attorney Joseph Bondy made a show of traveling to Washington and walking up to the US Senate, with cameras in tow. The two knew full well that Parnas could be turned away from the impeachment trial because he was wearing an ankle bracelet, an electronic device that violates the Senate chamber rules.

The stunt came days after Parnas' lawyer released an 83-minute recording from an April 2018 Trump International Hotel fundraiser where President Donald Trump discusses firing former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, with Parnas and his estranged business partner Igor Fruman. Fruman made the recording, and Parnas' lawyer made it public. Yovanovitch was recalled from her post about a year later.

1. Multiple crime projects going on at once there....

There is far more than just Ukraine that Ghouliani was working on for the Mob Boss Trump...

[Bayard]

2. When is Congress going to investigate Giuliani?

He poses as a representative of the U.S. government, negotiating/threatening foreign powers. That's not acting as trump's personal lawyer. Indict him!

4. Senate Republicans are investigating HRC's e-mail again . . .

and now Hunter Biden . . .

6. The House Foreign Affairs Committee sent subpoenas to Ghouliani, Parnas, and Fruman last September

But alas...

Press Releases

Giuliani Subpoenaed for Ukraine Documents as Next Step in Impeachment Inquiry

Committees Also Send Document Requests and Deposition Notices to Three Giuliani Associates
September 30, 2019

Washington—Today, Rep. Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Eliot L. Engel, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, sent a letter conveying a subpoena to Rudy Giuliani, the President’s agent, for key documents as a part of the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

“Pursuant to the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry, we are hereby transmitting a subpoena that compels you to produce the documents set forth in the accompanying schedule by October 15, 2019,” the Chairmen wrote.

The Committees are investigating the extent to which President Trump jeopardized national security by pressing Ukraine to interfere with our 2020 election and by withholding security assistance provided by Congress to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression, as well as any efforts to cover up these matters.

Giuliani admitted on national television that, while serving as the President’s personal attorney, he asked the government of Ukraine to target former Vice President Joe Biden.

“In addition to this stark admission, you stated more recently that you are in possession of evidence—in the form of text messages, phone records, and other communications—indicating that you were not acting alone and that other Trump Administration officials may have been involved in this scheme,” the Chairmen wrote to Giuliani.

The subpoena, which was issued by the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence after consultation with the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Oversight and Reform, requires Giuliani to produce several categories of documents by October 15, 2019.

The Chairmen also sent separate letters today seeking documents and noticing depositions with three of Giuliani’s business associates on the following dates:

October 10, 2019: Lev Parnas
October 11, 2019: Igor Fruman
October 14, 2019: Semyon “Sam” Kislin

“A growing public record indicates that the President, his agent Rudy Giuliani, and others appear to have pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politically-motivated investigations,” the Chairmen wrote. “The Committees have reason to believe that you have information and documents relevant to these matters.”

3. Does Parnas have the pee tapes?

I've been wondering why Trump is so low-key in bashing Parnas...

[magicarpet]

5. The naked cash register pResidency covered in layer upon layer of gift wrap paper,...

... and a big beautiful bow to make it look like a Reality TV pResidency of bad actors and nut bags.

But believe you and me - all these secret backroom deals are stuffing the pockets of Team trDump's to the gills with AmeriKKKan dollars galore.

The pilfer and plunder pResidency. Grab all you can in eight years - then hand the royal crown to the daughter.

7. Someone set me straight

Why the drip drip drip?

Who knows when the House will get around to getting Parnas to testify, and it's not likely that this testimony will change anything, e.g., no new impeachment charges.

So. . . why doesn't Parnas just release the whole damn thing? Everything he has - recordings of calls, texts, video, contemporaneous notes, still photos.

Bolton has his book - maybe - so that info may be "released" in some way - again, not that it will make a difference.

So why not Parnas? The material could be a windfall for campaign advertising and overall exposure of Giuliani, Trump, and their minions. He could do it online or on TV, as he did in his interview on TRMS.

8. Who Paid For That Lavish Junket?

Always follow the money. Were there more payments than the $500,000 from a Russian that was wired to Parnas' wife? There is a lot to this story that we don't yet know.

9. Totally blows up Betancourt's spot

While this was about Venezuela chaos-causing, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some Catalan independence hijinks thrown in as well.

[Lonestarblue]

10. Parnas should release everything he has publicly before Barr erases him and his evidence.

Barr has shut down most other Trump-related investigations, so it’s curious that this one is still happening. My theory is that he’s jealous of Giuliani’s access to Trump and plans to use this to eliminate him as a competitor. Barr wants to be the sole legal authority for Trump, and he knows he can protect Trump from any of the fallout.

[BigmanPigman]

11. I wanted to know if he could do that or

is that against the law for security reasons.

[Laelth]

12. k&r for the truth. n/t

14. All evidence is likely worthless now

Trump has pack the courts with Judges that pledge loyalty, no federal investigations will be allowed, and all damning news will only be declared fake and nothing will come from it.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

16. Giuliani 'RELISHING' a bullfight? Why am I not surprised

that he would relish animal cruelty.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he has a stash of snuff-films somewhere.
