The son of Lev Parnas offers one more Trump tell-all
Source: Politico
As Rudy Giuliani searched for damaging information on the Bidens in Ukraine, waged shadow diplomatic campaigns in Venezuela and Turkey, and spoke regularly to President Donald Trump about all of it, a 19-year-old law student was quietly watching and soaking it all in.
The saga of Lev Parnas, a close former Giuliani associate and fixer, is familiar by now: Parnas helped Giuliani investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunters dealings in Ukraine, an endeavor that ultimately led to the presidents impeachment.
Unknown until this week, however, was that Parnas son Aaron was present for much of it. And he has now written an eyewitness account of many of the back-channel dealings conducted by Giuliani and a small group of his confidants to help their clients chief among them the president of the United States.
I had no intention of writing this book before a few weeks ago, the younger Parnas, who recently graduated from George Washington University Law School in D.C., said in an interview. But after I finished the bar exam, I began thinking about how young Republicans and young people in general often feel like they don't have a place in the political system and might not want to vote. So I thought if they were able to see what I saw maybe it would help them make a decision.

(7,217 posts)1. Aaron is also Rudy's Godson.
And is that a typo? A 19-year old law school grad?

But yeah, the post contradicts itself. Student or graduate? Can't be both.
SOLVED!
The first reference to "student" is a historical moment in the past. He is recounting what he discovered at age 19, probably in his second year of law school at the time, 2 or so years ago.
Aaron Parnas was 18 when he started law school.

That makes him approximately 21 now.
He is in the 2020 Graduate yearbook.

He and his father could end up being Trump and Rudy's worst nightmare.
