Lev Parnas is not telling the truth all the time on RM.

Of course some or even a lot of what he is saying absolutely could be true, but he does telltales sometimes that show he is not sure of what he is saying. Says something and then blinks at the end and turns head, doesn't quite answer the question sometimes. Says broad statements that there is no way he could know are true (everyone knew). Just don't believe everything he is saying.

The transcript will be picked apart for days, weeks to come and maybe a lot more will be revealed.

Now, I gotta get back to watching!

Too easy to be led down a rabbit hole. Liars are good at this. Hope the impeachment managers focus on the documentary corroboration from Parnas.

he’s tryna cover his ass on that one cause now we’re talking about conspiracy to commit murder. The whole rest of the interview I believed him, but he just sounded a bit TOO vague there.

Why keep up the conversation for a whole week? And Amb. Yavonovitch seemed genuinely concerned about
her personal safety. Something doesn't add up.

We have Congressional committees with staff and investigators to check out what he says. Lots of them. Remember Benghazi.
I'm not asking to find trump guilty on the strength of Parnas' statements.
All I'm asking is a Benghazi-level set of investigations into the whole mess.

Up until now, we had only suspected that he knew so much. And Ghouliani is denying everything Parnas says already.

I'm glad all those other names came out and that they are now suspect. Not only that, there are calls for mcturtle to recuse himself from the impeachment trial. This is going to be a fight with all kinds of valid points of order and calls for votes which will force the Senate to hear what needs to be heard. They don't want to go there because they are complicit and it's showing.

As the Speaker said in her announcement today, time, it's all about time. The fights in the trial will delay it all long enough for it to overlap the STOTU and that's going to be a disaster. He'll tell on himself while he stands there ranting at the Speaker, bet he even turns around and yells at her.



But wait, there's more! It's only the 15th. All that stuff I said about these guys way back during the Mueller investigation is turning out to be true.

I am expecting a lot of surprises, like we've seen this week, taking place rather often for quite some time. Maybe even bigger surprises.

McConnell and Barr are just fixers, doing nothing related to their jobs and the constitution...simply doing what Nunes would do if he had the power. Lindsey?

I'm telling you, they see a way through this and have a plan. There's something we don't see that explains this behavior.
