This is the most damning photo in a stream of very damning photos. The grifters really appear to have been part of Trump entire legal team.On March 25, the day after Barr released a summary of the Mueller report, Parnas posted photos from what he called a celebratory dinner with the Trump legal team at Trump's hotel in DC.

UPDATE:
So the day after Muellers testimony seemingly closed his investigation once and for all, Trump got on the phone and extorted Zelensky to provide disinformation undercutting Muellers investigation, at the very least (though I think theres more he was after) the black ledger.
But a WSJ piece on Lev Parnas private Instagram account provides another.
It reveals that Ukraine grifter Lev Parnas attended the celebration dinner Trumps legal team had the day after Bill Barr released a summary about the Mueller Report that was, itself, disinformation. It shows that Parnas, at least, suggested Trumps legal team deserved some kind of credit for Barrs roll-out. And it claims that Ukrainian grifter and Trumps legal team were hard at work moving (and includes notes in the picture that might reveal what Parnas and friends had planned).
So Barr announces the false results of the Mueller investigation and the next day someone involved in the production of disinformation claims credit and looks forward to his next task.
And Mueller provides what Trump claims to be an incompetent performance in the House, and the next day Trump extorts a foreign leader for disinformation that Rudy has been concocting with the Ukrainian grifter all summer.

(56,829 posts)and Trump himself admitting to it, but within 24 to 48 hours, they'd be saying it's not true and that Trump never admitted to it, and if the president did it, it's not illegal.

(10,265 posts)The Godfather's opening wedding scene, when don Barzini notices a photographer taking an image of him seated at a table with a few other wise guys, and motions to his bodyguards to grab the camera and rip out the film. You'd think these mobbed-up goons would have enough sense to not have their crimes documented.
