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

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.

Bring it on. Trump recently tweeted that Schiff should testify. OK, then Nunes should testify first. CaptainTruth Nov 2019 #9

It's digital. Just like electronic voting machines, you can't see where those electrons have been.

Somebody's gonna have to scrutinize anything Parnas provides to make sure it's likely true. (If there's analog media, it's not as easily faked as digital media).

We're going to have to be patient.

cash and lies around, engage in all manner of skulduggery, stupidly get caught, then spill the beans and drag everyone through the mud. One might conclude they're on a mission to destabilize America somehow.
