.@realDonaldTrump lawyers, @JaySekulow, @RudyGiuliani, Jane Raskin, and others were updated about Lev Parnas up until the day before his arrest. Why? Call the witnesses. Hear the testimony. Have a fair trial. #LetLevSpeak #LevRemembers #EveryoneWasInTheLoop

They were bolting. Someone (rudy - but how did he know?) told them and they screwed. That's obstruction right there. Interfering with an investigation.

And of course, rudy is free to drink rare scotch with his fly down, walk into walls, leave cell phones in cabs, and fly the world. Who is keeping him free?

is involved in this too. Lev already told the world on Maddow's show. Couldn't he be called as a witness?

"President Trump's personal White House lawyer Jay Sekulow knew about Rudy Giuliani's efforts to get Ukraine to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, but "didn't agree with what Rudy was doing," Lev Parnas told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow."

"In an interview that aired Thursday night, Parnas, an associate of Giuliani, said Sekulow was "in the loop" but "didn't want to be involved in the Ukraine stuff." He said he heard Sekulow and Giuliani talk about the matter, and Sekulow "didn't agree with what Rudy was doing, but he knew what he was doing."

"Parnas and his business partner Igor Fruman were arrested in October and charged with campaign finance violations. John Dowd, Trump's former attorney, was briefly Parnas' lawyer, and Parnas told Maddow that during a visit to the jail, Dowd told him to "be a good boy." Maddow asked if Dowd was "telling you to sacrifice yourself to protect Trump," and Parnas responded, "Yes ... they tried to keep me quiet." Parnas said soon after, he fired Dowd.
