Lev Parnas Helped Rep. Devin Nunes' Investigations

Source: The Daily Beast

Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for Rep. Devin Nunes in 2018, Parnas’ lawyer Ed MacMahon told The Daily Beast.

Nunes aide Derek Harvey participated in the meetings, the lawyer said, which were arranged to help Nunes’ investigative work. MacMahon didn’t specify what those investigations entailed.

Nunes is the top Republican on the House committee handling the impeachment hearings—hearings where Parnas’s name has repeatedly come up.

Congressional records show Nunes traveled to Europe from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, 2018. Three of his aides—Harvey, Scott Glabe, and George Pappas—traveled with him, per the records. U.S. government funds paid for the group’s four-day trip, which cost just over $63,000.

The travel came as Nunes, in his role on the House Intelligence Committee, was working to investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election meddling.

The GOP corruption from Moscow Mitch to Drevin Mooscow is systemic. Russian (and their Ukrainian toadies) in the oligarch class have profited from America’s conservative hypocrites who are willing to sell out their country.

Can’t wait to hear Chairman Schiff ask Nunes about this news in a public session.

.... Mobster?

We have to see that Mueller Report.

Why is Nunes on the intel committee and not in front of it or in front of a grand jury? No wonder he is working so hard to try to stop everything from coming out. The man is dirty as Donald Trump’s diapers.
