(90,513 posts)THEYLL get away with it, too.
Remember that three-way immunity that Lev Parnas described to Rachel Maddow - when he described a conversation the gist of which was I was told since Rudy G works for trump, who has total immunity, Rudy G ALSO has total immunity, and since I work for Rudy G, then that means I, too, have total immunity.
But the pattern is: NOBODY ELSE ever gets away with it. Because in the end, trump is only in it for himself. Hell issue pardons but only to buy others silence and cooperation, this benefiting himself. Theyll be left holding the bag, one way or the other. Theyll ALWAYS be left holding the bag. Thats why ol Lev is facing that bound-for-prison fate now. Hes a nobody who was willing to do the actual dirty work so the suits who hired him can keep their own hands presumably clean. Hes expendable. Hes no more valuable than the Cuban White House Burglars who were nobodies, too, and first to face real consequences. Of course, white guy James McCord was arrested too. And that was where the real trouble began. It was discovered that he wasnt such a nobody after all. Not with his ties to the Committee to Re-Elect the President.
The following morning, Sunday, June 18, G. Gordon Liddy called Jeb Magruder in Los Angeles and informed him that "the four men arrested with McCord were Cuban freedom fighters, whom Howard Hunt recruited".
