TPM September 11, 2019 headline comes full circle

Then headline: A Mystery $325,000 To A Pro-Trump Super PAC Confounds Experts - TPM

Now headline: What The Parnas-Fruman Indictment Reveals About The Trump-Ukraine Pressure Scheme

<snip>

Where the connections aren’t there
For the most part, prosecutors hew to a description of the campaign finance scheme for which Parnas, Fruman, and two of their associates have now been indicted.

The indictment does not mention Giuliani at all. It also does not mention the pair’s 2019 trips to Kyiv, nor does it mention anything about Ukraine sending political dirt to the United States.

Other details — like the $325,000 contribution to America First Action — could be related to the pressure campaign. But, if it is, prosecutors do not say so.

If anything, the purpose of Parnas and Fruman’s contributions are kept broad, simply to buy access and influence within the GOP on behalf of the unnamed Ukrainian official. - TPM
