Regarding dropping the mic! You see the news about an associate coming forward willing to testify about Nunes? Man oh man do I want to see the ranking minority member under oath. Moo moo, motherfucker.
It's one thing for Nunes to investigate the Russia probe's origins, but it just came out, after your comment, Parnas is willing to testify that Nunes was involved in efforts to investigate the Bidens in Ukraine. My jaw has been on the floor. You're done, Devin! How fucking nuts do you have to be to go conduct completely unaccountable foreign policy on secret missions involving investigations of the Bidens, private U.S. citizens, circumventing the proper diplomatic and legal channels? Welp, not as fucking nuts as you'd have to be to then think you could properly serve as the second-ranking member on the congressional committee conducting the impeachment hearings into improper secret missions involving foreign investigations of the Bidens! This is crazier than even what I thought possible. I'm seriously floored right now, reeling. Watch Nunes's face when Swalwell reads the DailyBeast article, which had yet to include the information that it was an investigation into the Bidens that Nunes was chasing: edit: mk, found a funny bugski. I can embed this twitter link, but then if I go to edit the text, the page loads, and the paragraph order of all text in the comment has been inverted. i.e. for this post, if I were to simply press "edit", and then "update", without having edited anything, the embedded tweet would be at the top, and my opening statement at the bottom, with all the other paragraphs inverted as well. But listen, nothing involving twitter embeds should ever be considered urgent to any dev. :)
Agree, there's every reason to keep the inquiry rolling. Today, we had: 1. This Parnas-Nunes testimony thing. I suspect it may be that Parnas's illegal RNC/GOP re-election slush fund donations were used to fund Nunes's frivolous "defamation" lawsuits (moo moo!). Now that's hearsay, just my theory. EDIT: the biggest bombshell in weeks just went off. According to Parnas, in 2018, Nunes was involved, with Parnas, in secret attempts to persuade Ukraine to open investigations into the Bidens. omfg. This isn't proven, yet, but... wow. Just wow. 2. The NYTimes article I posted earlier today, revealing that the intelligence community briefed the Senate (presumably the Senate Intelligence Committee?) that Trump's Ukrainian conspiracy theories originate from a GRU (Putin) disinformation operation. 3. An early leak of the Dec. 9 DOJ IG report, which Trump supporters and even Trump himself have said will put Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Hillary, etc. behind bars, revealed a clerical error made by a lower-level lawyer on some paperwork, and no improper conduct surrounding the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. Still, we should wait for the entire report. I hope Parnas has documentation and corroborating testimony from others. It's not going to be easy for me to trust him. He's either a Russian operative, or has been led around by Russian operatives for a very, very long time.
Lev Parnas seems like the kind of guy who leaves a paper trail. Dude I just watched that video again and Lev Parnas' instagram feed consists of (A) a dog (B-ZZ) Compramat on Rudi Giuliani and Donald Trump. It is completely fucking empty of everything else.
