DONATIONS TO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES AND CAMPAIGNS, AND
GIVEN THE INFORMATION WE HAVE
ABOUT MR. PARNAS’S INVOLVEMENT
IN THE SCHEME FOR WHICH
MR. PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS
IMPEACHED, YOU COULD UNDERSTAND
WHY MR. TRUMP WOULD PRETEND HE’S
NEVER MET LEV PARNAS.
NEVER HEARD OF THE GUY, MAYBE
THERE’S ONE PICTURE SOMEWHERE,
DEFINITELY NOT TWO OR THREE.
CERTAINLY NOT NINE.
BUT NOW IN THESE NEW DOCUMENTS
RELEASED TONIGHT BY THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, HERE’S A
NEW KIND OF DIRECT CONNECTION WE
DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT BEFORE.
IT APPEARS TO BE AN EMAIL SENT
FROM THE PRESIDENT’S COUNSEL JAY
SEKULOW.
SEKULOW. IT’S DATED WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER
2ND, WHICH IS JUST AFTER LEV AND
IGOR GOT CONTACTED.
ANOTHER TO JOHN DOWD.
SAYS, QUOTE, JOHN, I HAVE
DISCUSSED THE ISSUE OF
REPRESENTATION WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. THE PRESIDENT CONSENTS TO
ALLOWING YOUR REPRESENTATION OF
MR. PARNAS AND MR. FUHRMAN.
IT’S FRUMAN, BUT YOU SEE THE
POINT HE’S MAKING.
IT IS SIGNED JAY SEKULOW,
COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT.
IF MR. SEKULOW CAN BE TAKEN AT
HIS WORD AND THERE’S NO REASON
NOT TO, THIS WOULD IMPLY THAT
THE PRESIDENT PERSONALLY GAVE
HIS CONSENT FOR LEV AND IGOR TO
HAVE THE LAWYER OF THEIR
CHOOSING, JOHN DOWD,
REPRESENTING THEM AS THEY WERE
FIGHTING A REQUEST FOR TESTIMONY
FROM CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATORS
LOOKING AT THE IMPEACHMENT
SCANDAL.
SCANDAL. THE DAY AFTER THAT EMAIL WAS
APPARENTLY SENT FROM MR. SEKULOW
TO JOHN DOWD, THAT’S WHEN DOWD
TOLD INVESTIGATORS ON HIS
CLIENT’S BEHALF THAT THEY
WOULDN’T BE COOPERATING WITH THE
IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION.
IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION. NOW, LEV PARNAS EVENT BELY
CHANGED HIS LAWYER, DROPPED JOHN
DOWD AND ALSO CHANGED HIS MIND
AND STARTED COOPERATING WITH THE
IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION.
IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION. THAT’S HOW WE GOT ALL THESE NEW
DOCUMENTS TONIGHT.
DOCUMENTS TONIGHT. BUT IN THESE DOCUMENTS RELEASED
TONIGHT, WE ALSO GET ANOTHER
SURPRISE ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S
LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND HIS
INVOLVEMENT WITH LEV AND IGOR.
IN TEXT MESSAGES BETWEEN RUDY
GIULIANI AND LEV PARNAS IN WHICH
MR. PARNAS IS COMPLAINING THEY
HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO SECURE A
U.S. VISA FOR UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL
THEY WANT TO BRING TO THE U.S.
TO HELP THEM AS PART OF THEIR
SMEAR JOE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, RUDY
GIULIANI TELLS LEV PARNAS AT ONE
POINT, QUOTE, I GAVE JAY YOUR
NUMBER.
NUMBER. THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY
CAN GET A VISA FOR THIS GUY WHO
HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN FOR A VISA
TO VISIT THE UNITED STATES
BECAUSE HE IS A CORRUPT FOREIGN
OFFICIAL.
OFFICIAL. RUDY GIULIANI SAYS I’M WORKING
ON IT, THOUGH.
I GOT NUMBER ONE, PRESUMABLY THE
PRESIDENT WORKING ON IT.
HE SAID, I’VE GIVEN JAY YOUR
NUMBER AND WE KNOW WHO HE’S
TALKING ABOUT.
TALKING ABOUT. WE KNOW IT’S JAY SEKULOW BECAUSE
HE THEN SENDS JAY SEKULOW LEV
PARNAS’S CONTACT INFORMATION.
LEV PARNAS CURRENTLY UNDER
INDICTMENT CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY
WITH THE PRESIDENT’S LEGAL
COUNSEL IN THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT
TRYING TO GET A U.S. VISA FOR A
CORRUPT UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL WHO
THE U.S. IS NOT LETTING
OTHERWISE TRAVEL HERE.
ONLY THE BEST PEOPLE.
I MEAN, THE PRESIDENT’S LEGAL
REPRESENTATION IS TURNING OUT TO
BE A VERY WEIRD FACTOR IN THIS
IMPEACHMENT.
IMPEACHMENT. JAY SEKULOW IS DUE TO BE THE
PRESIDENT’S DEFENSE COUNSEL IN
HIS SENATE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
WHICH IS DUE TO START TOMORROW.
MR. SEKULOW, IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCLOSE
ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH ANY
OF THE CHARACTERS IN THIS DRAMA?
MR. SEKULOW, WE KNOW AS OF
TONIGHT WAS PUT IN DIRECT
CONTACT WITH ONE OF THE INDICTED
PEOPLE WHO WAS PART OF THIS
UKRAINE SCHEME.
UKRAINE SCHEME. MR. SEKULOW WAS INVOLVED IN
GETTING THE PRESIDENT’S PERSONAL
APPROVAL FOR THE DEFENSE COUNSEL
FOR THAT GUY WHO IS NOW UNDER
FEDERAL CRIMINAL INDICTMENT.
ALSO AMONG ALL THE MANY
GLAMOROUS PHOTOS THAT MR. PARNAS
HAS MADE PUBLIC ABOUT HIS
INTERACTION WAS VARIOUS TRUMP
WORLD OFFICIALS, NOT ONLY ARE
THERE A GAZILLION PICTURES OF
HIM WITH THE PRESIDENT’S
PERSONAL LAWYER RUDY GIULIANI,
WE ALSO KNOW OF AT LEAST A
HANDFUL OF PHOTOS THAT SHOW
MR. PARNAS WITH ANOTHER OF THE
PRESIDENT’S DEFENSE COUNSELS IN
THE IMPEACHMENT SCANDAL.
THIS IS PAM BIONDI IN FLORIDA.
SHE WORKED AT THE LOBBYING FIRM
THAT IS IN THE MURKY PART OF
THIS SCANDAL.
THIS SCANDAL. SHE HAS MORE THAN A PASSING
RELATIONSHIP WITH MR. PARNAS.
AGAIN, WHO IS UNDER INDICTMENT.
AGAIN, SHE IS PART OF THE
PRESIDENT’S LEGAL TEAM
REPRESENTING HIM IN THIS
IMPEACHMENT.
IMPEACHMENT. I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY GETS TO
PICK THEIR OWN LAWYERS UP TO AND
INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, BUT
IT’S REALLY ODD IN ANY CRIMINAL
CASE, IN ANY MAJOR CRIMINAL
PROCEEDING TO HAVE THE LAWYERS
THEMSELVES PLAY CAMEO OR
POTENTIALLY STARRING ROLES IN
