Rachel Maddow sat down with Lev Parnas for an exclusive interview on MSNBC. In breaking down the interview with Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel explains that she feels Parnas is coming forward because "he's worried" about going to jail and he wants to make it clear "that he wants to cooperate, he wants to testify with congressional investigators in the impeachment investigation."

Rachel To Lawrence: Lev Parnas Knows ‘The Truth Will Become Known’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Parnas didn’t want to be another “suicide” like Epstein or meet with an unfortunate fatal “accident” before the information was out in the public domain..
Wise move.
@Marc Milton-Talbot or: I hear you do painting house
@Richard Barber 😂 yes
Exactly my first thought
Parnas saw what happened to everyone who worked for Trump and decided he didn’t want tire marks on his back.
@Citadel of winds that part✌🏽💯
Tell him not to drink any tea he’s offered!
Toni sumblin rats rat on rats . Sometimes just to say what they know so they don’t”disapear”
He got his with GEICO dispite his driving record history.
That Rachel Maddow interview with Parnas was like listening to the Nixon tapes. And just like the Nixon tapes, it’s worse than we ever imagined.
Odd this happened when it did.. c’mon people, be more skeptical.
Logan McLean
Not if witnesses testify under oath you pathetic sniveling piece of rat waste
Trump denying he knew Parnas was the turning point for him. He knew he was being hung out to dry, on his own & no one can blame him for not wanting to end up like all the other ‘associates’ of Trump, in jail whilst Trumps gets off scot free yet again.
@Bad Bird I agree ,Trump desperately needs to diet
Kathleen Hammett ….exactly. As Michael Cohen and others described, it’s trump’s method to throw his helpers under the bus once he’s done with them or in a bind, so “they” do the time, and Teflon Don is never held accountable.
@LLM Yep. Now we know when Giuliani said ” I’ve got insurance “, he meant it, even though he tried to walk it back. He knows exactly how Trump operates. As they say there’s no honour amongst thieves.. what an absolute corrupt bunch of individuals, I truly hope they all go down for this.
Kathleen Hammett … Hope Parnas has learned to choose his causes and his friends more wisely
Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall in Trump’s circle right now 😂
Probably looking at some dank memes. Nobody outside this bubble cares about Parnas. How do you not understand how this game is played? Or maybe you LIKE the game!!
By Trump’s circle you mean “mob”. The Trumps are a crime syndicate.
Those flies are all wondering who is going to spill their guts first. Only a few witnesses get a pass, the others eat the crap sandwich.
lil jack russell: Frankly, I’d like to be a voice activated tape-recorder, since a fly cannot be called to testify…
If anything happens to him someone would have to investigate his murder, Epstien’s and the Deutsche Bank guys deaths as well.
@K Jackson Wow! I hadn’t considerred ALL of that! Thanks! Very good logic.
Barbara Mulvaney
The FBI was investigating and BOWERS had Trumps records of at least a 500 million dollar loan. Suddenly he hangs himself! Hmmm.
@E. E., “Hanged himself” in November, 2019.
These people are murderers
This fits EXACTLY with what a Trump has been doing all his life. The guy is a career criminal.
@angelgirlforever22 Trumpers still won’t care. Isn’t it mind blowing?
Democrats are scum pedophiles
WE ALL HAVE KBOWN IT
RICO RICO RICO !!!!
a mob boss
Imagine hating Democrats with every fiber of your being, and then realizing that the articles of impeachment being given to the Senate isn’t even the worst part of your day
Ohnoitsthatguy … 😮
Lolol.
Too late to “suicide” this guy now. The truth is out here.
AlphaK91 don’t count on it. Revenge killings are very prevalent among organized thugs. I don’t trust this guy at all. I believe his interview, and he was smart enough to present it with documents but he did this to receive a lesser sentence. That’s all. Glad he did. But he’s a thug like the rest of them.
Epstein’s truths were out there.. but after he got suicided .. Everything went away
from the looks of the IMPEACHED presidents associates, he’s marked for life anyway. His lawyers should be pushing fora witness protection program that keeps him under wraps.
olrik parlez that made no sense what so ever haha learn English troglodyte.
olrik parlez you sound like a literal meth head.
The FBI needs to step up, bypass the corrupted attorney general and investigate this scandal!
What scandal, y’all leftards will believe anything….or want to believe everything….sorry, no impeachment, and 4 more years Baby!!! MAGA 2020
@Matthew Bollinger TRUMP IN JAIL 2020!
Yeah…that will happen.
antony michael … Does the FBI have the power to do this.
I agree, but don’t want any more chaos and ruined careers
Parnas saw Epstein’s murder and knew that he was next that’s why he got his story out and was so adamant about not being locked up in federal prison till his trial… remember William Barr had a secret visit with Epstein in federal prison in NY about a week before Epstein’s death 😳
Barr is trump’s new “fixer”…
Putin owns the trump White House and the GOP. Putin’s determines to get his payback for his beloved USSR 1989 and trump is his Yeltsin
Charles T. Wow I don’t know that
Good – why not take everyone down with him – we all know that’s what Trump will do. Poor Pence – what’s mother going to think of this?
Looking forward to Pence and Mother moving out of my neighborhood in D.C.!
well, at least he didn’t alone with a woman without “Mother” being present!
@angela bluebird60 outstanding! I’m with you on way of thinking. But then again, I’m an atheist.👍
pence will get a good spanking from mother!
@Shawn Badanjek I have a strange feeling he enjoys that.
The Trump Legacy: THE TURD THAT WOULD NOT FLUSH.
GOP on the GAO………(crickets)
Turd that’s trump🇺🇸🇵🇷
Lyn W we better call plumber, it’s called the Constitution of the United States of America!
Parnas has know reason to lie he gains nothing. And where is Paul Ryan.
Quirky Quips here the truth!
https://youtu.be/rkmhwhKQowk
Tracy Barhite here’s the truth!
https://youtu.be/rkmhwhKQowk
Paul Ryan is back home in Janesville. And John McCain is up in heaven… Lucky SOB’s.
And where was Sen Ron Johnson in this mix?
I’ve been saying for months that Lev’s evidence and testimony was going to be this President’s downfall..
I predict that you’ll be saying it for another 59 months before realizing that it’s not gonna happen. You can hope though… Just like you were sure that attacking a “Gold Star” family would be Trump’s downfall, the Access hollywood tape would be Trump’s downfall, Stormy and Avenatti would be Trump’s downfall, Michael Cohen would be Trump’s downfall, Robert Mueller would be Trump’s downfall, the “whistleblower” would be Trump’s downfall… But who knows, maybe you’re right this time. After all, the Impound Control Act is always top-of-mind for Blue Collar Americans.
Michael Cohen is dancing in his cell and sending love letters to Karma 😂
@Ronald Richards The truth has to come out. That’s the American way.
Parnas implicates Trump, Pompeo, Barr, Nunes and more in Trump’s corrupt scheme cheat.
Truth must come out.
😂😂😂
@Pub Comrad then watch dan bongino today and wake up it is the truth backed by sources and facts
@Ellen Kortman have u noticed the opposite trump haters getting karma?
Parnas is the current front runner in the best “played the had they were dealt” award. TBD…
How awful can this get? But wait there’s more…
OakhillSailor always more.
The diarrhoea flows from CHUMPs administration into the Senate REPUBLI-KKK-ANs …… What a cover up…..BANG…BANG…I SHOT THE SHERIFF …BUT THE SHERIFF GOT AWAY…..THE toilet bowl in the WHITE HOUSE is full of Orange sewage ! Pull the plug already….Time for a cleansing of the PEOPLE’S HOUSE an America !
https://www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/deutsche-bank-death/
Just pay a separate handling fee.
The GOP is not a political party.
It is a crime syndicate.
Anron Jatu lock her up? …moron!
Jeffrey Binder m8 are you not listening or watching? Oh wait! Your “criminal in chief” told you to close your eyes and cover your ears if you heard literature ANY CRITICS!
I am a conservative and I endorse this message
I think he knows this is the safest way for him not to “commit suicide”. It sounds like Ms. Yovanovich (so) could have ended up another “case of suicide”.
Let’s be careful on this one. The Robert Hyde story is a complete White House produced smokescreen and a way to blow up a completely amateur and risky wannabe.
Indeed. Thankfully, her angels protected her🙏
LOCK HIM UP!!!
Dear Lady Jayne Oh No. Oh No. Oh No.
