Parnas Presented To Ukrainians As Speaking On Trump's Behalf | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
He is trumps mate. They all lie. Trump wouldnt hang out with anyone with morals…!!??
sandy dix Anyone with morals wouldn’t have anything to do with Trump!..
He sounds more credible than Trump, but that’s not saying much.
Vee Darko everyone outside Trump’s circle sounds more credible than trump
Dalisu Ngobese that’s 💯 true
Lev just doesn’t want to fall alone and David Dennison already threw him under the bus…so Adam Schiff can say now: SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
I’m waiting for Giuliani to do his perp walk in handcuffs whining and crying like Trump. SDNY is coming for all of them.
They’re not coming fast enough
Lev to Trump: “Oh I see. I get it now. I use to be your homie, now you act like you don’t know me.” 😂😄
David J just like Mariah did to Jennifer I don’t know her
David J — If I may add this, to what you have said: —
Trump to Pompeo, pointing his finger at Lev Parnas: — “Who is this man? What is he talking about? Deport him at once, and put him on the sanctions list. He is not allowed into this country again!”
Pompeo to Trump: — “I’m sure that he would like to be deported, and he WILL be deported, but when, it is up to the Court of Law, depending on how many more years he will have to spend, rather unwillingly, in our country at the expense of taxpayers, in an orange suite.”… (Pompeo to himself: – and thanks to you Donny)
@Stefan Snellgrove that was a hilarious moment..🤣 🤣
It was laughable that trump would deny knowing… there are photos of them together!
David J 😂
Trump:
“Nope, I don’t know this gentleman, I’ve never met him.
Okay, I may have met him once.
Okay, I met him at least a dozen times, but he was not working with Rudy in Ukraine.
Okay, he was working with Rudy in Ukraine, but it’s not what you think.
Okay, so it is what you think, but it’s not a big deal “something unintelligible” I’m being treated so unfairly, Hillary’s emails.” 😃😄
T. could not have said it better.
Omg perrffecct
”Okay, he was appointed by me, but extorting foreign governments to influence the US elections isn’t against the law. I like to obey the law.”
Rinse and repeat and this is the Trump Presidency…..
Lev Parnas is more patriotic than the guy that calls himself president!! Speechless…
IMHO he just doesn’t want to fall alone and David Dennison already threw him under the bus!
Why not just post the whole interview
@Ohnoitsthatguy I just heard that there giving it hype by putting out bits and pieces before the full interview 😊👍
@Maureen Awty I just watched the whole thing. The interview is a full blown problem for chump, pence, and bar. They don’t need to hype anything.
G T You might not, but don’t speak for the entire planet. I most definitely want to watch the whole 40+ minutes in one video.
Matthew Dolman exactly that’s what I wrote on one of the clips. They should post the full interview. Searching and watching clips is frustrating and makes the flow of viewer listening disjointed.
Americans need to here and see all this,kick Trump out
Sadly, most Conservatives only watch Fox news and ignore other sources. Fox either won’t cover this at all, or they will leave out any details that portray Trump in a negative light.
I’ve already seen the Red Hats claiming Parnas is making this all up. When you point out the emails, voice mails, text messages, and documents, they claim, ‘those can be faked’. SMH, you can’t fix stupid.
What is up with the lawyer staring at Rachel? Anyone??
i was surprised to discover how intelligent/credible he seems. He’d make a good witness
That’s why the Republicans will do everything to make sure he doesn’t testify before the Senate.
Too bad Republicans refuse to have witnesses
I was surprised he speaks better English than the average Trump supporter.
Is the lawyer zonked or in a trance or what. He never blinks.
T.R. Plume I was thinking the same thing😂
DJT = Manchurian Candidate
I’m not suprised!!! Remember trump hires people to do his dirty job and he blames them for it….
He is telling the truth. This is a secure man we are looking at… who else would wear a haircut like that.
I believe the guy, lowlife that he is, because his narrative fits with the testimony and evidence of so many others.Still and all, it’s so bizarre.
My one wish now is to live long enough to see conclusions and to watch a really long conga line of people in orange jumpsuits doing The Perpwalk.
The Humañ Smoking Gun. Bye bye Humpty Trumpty.
The Republicans will just put their fingers in their ears and go “lalalalalalalalalalala”.
Lev Parnas took the right choice, it seems he watched Michael Cohen’s testimony the outcome of following someone like Mr.Bone-spurs crazy corrupt ways
the most important point, tying trumputin securely to the whole thing. ty dr maddow and mr parnas.
I remember that Trump denied knowing Stormy Daniels as well.
Only in the biblical sense.
Good point
Lev knows that if he doesn’t get everything he knows out to the public he will be Epsteined.
