Fitzmas . . . . . Mueller . . . . . now who? Parnas? Bolton?

The pattern is simple:

We get our hopes up

They get dashed.

Another straw floats by. We grasp at it. This is the one!

For sure.

Lev Parnas!

John Bolton!

Yeah! This'll get 'em!

Photos and phone records mean nothing. Full taped calls, corroborating witnesses, detailed emails....that might be something but anything short of that is pretty meaningless. Parnes has no credibility and is a known liar.

he had more than enough to charge him and several others with evidence of collusion. That is the reason the report is so heavily redacted. I don't know if he was threatened or his family may have been thteatened, I do know something happened. There is something very, very wrong there.

or a dirtbag Soviet-bloc influence-peddling gangster-type under federal indictment?

Anything from them which happens to be gravy is just that, and one cannot count on them for ANYTHING.

In fact, one must expect bait-and-switch, misinformation, and sabotage of whatever Democrats are trying to do, in a manner which is as self-serving and focused on their personal priorities as possible.

We have to keep in mind that many shady and unethical things simply aren't crimes, and we have no one to really prosecute any crimes at the moment anyway. The bad people have the power. :/
