From the same article: "Sessions’ role in the saga began in the spring of 2018. On May 9, Parnas posted photos to Facebook showing him and a business associate, David Correia, posing with the then-congressman in the Capitol complex. Two days later, Sessions shot off a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo questioning the fitness of Yovanovitch. "Six days after the letter was sent, Global Energy Producers made its donation to American First. The following month, Parnas and Fruman each donated the legal maximum to Sessions’ campaign. "America First spokesperson Kelly Sadler said there was no understanding when GEP donated to the group that it would be supporting Sessions’ candidacy, or that the money provided by Parnas’ and Fruman’s company would go towards a specific candidate." |
I posted this last comment, but now I am reading that their lawyer said they weren't planning to testify, and that they were about to get on a flight out of the US. So IDK what is going on. It is good they were arrested but I think they need to testify before congress. If they are in federal custody, can congress compel them to testify? |
No, there was nothing on the schedule for today. Sorry to disappoint you and disrupt your conspiracy. |
DP. They had earlier told Congress they wouldn't be able to meet the document and deposition deadline. I guess they knew they would be leaving the country. Didn't work out like they planned, though m |

If anyone has any question about Ambassador Yovanovitch, watch this video of a speech she gave 2 months before she was recalled.

For those of us who cannot watch videos at work, what does this video show? |
Of course, this all goes back to at least 2017 and has direct ties to Russia.

A) Former Trump lawyer John Dowd is representing these frauds
B) He communicates in comic sans |
I just scanned. But noted SDNY. Funnel over $300,000 to “Committee -1”, “an independent expenditure committee” (Trump Inaug coming out of SDNY?); additional quid pro for Congressmen trying to get the Ukraine Ambassador recalled for a 2018 campaign donation. Some GOP Congressman is going to jail. Let’s pray for Nunes. |
She is poised, professional, detailed, representing U.S. support for Ukraine and the need to continue anti-corruption reforms. There is not one objectionable word in her speech, unless you are corrupt. |
These are the same people who want "to drown the government in a bathtub." Jeez, I wonder why? |
Okay. Info from CNN
$350,000 in Russian money illegally funneled to a Trump 2020 super pac with a ton of former Trump Admin officials running it Plus $10,000 in Russian money to Pete Sessions in 2018 (R, TX, lost his seat) to remove US ambassador to Ukraine. SDNY. Barr signed off. Frankly, jaw dropping Sure, Ghouliani is the genius. He connected these folks. He’s going to jail. |
Whoops. Arrested individuals are under subpoena in impeachment as “key conduit between Trump and Ukraine”.
And Barr signed off in unsealing indictment. |
