BRIAN CATES-re: ParNASTY guy:

What a fun week this going to be starting on Monday.
They are so excited to HAVE THE VIDEO they literally can’t think about what it depicts.

HOW do you go about really firing a US ambassador?

You give some rando at a dinner party who doesn’t even work for the St. Dept. the **mission** of going & firing the ambassador?

Trump just may as well have turned to the waiter and said “I want you to go fire Marie Yovanovich for me!”

Parnas has NO AUTHORITY to fire anybody working for any branch of the federal gov’t.

Wait until people realize Yovanovich wasn’t fired until almost a YEAR after this video was made, and Parnas played exactly a 0% role in her firing. The full video can be seen here...snip...

Ok I’m watching the video. This appears to be one of those $1000/plate type fundraising dinners.
Parnas is not huddled with The Boss getting orders to take out anybody. This conversation is taking place in a room with more than a dozen other people.

Democrats and media will try to sell this like Parnas works for Trump, Trump gives him orders, assigns him missions.
This is absurd.Parnas is a DONOR who pays for access to the President.

Parnas had to pay to be there at that table that night.
These types of dinner events are held to entice top donors to open their wallets, pay big money for a few hours access to a candidate or politician.

NOTHING OF ANY REAL CONSEQUENCE HAPPENS AT THESE DINNERS.
Anybody who thinks a President’s FOREIGN POLICY gets set or decided at a dinner like this is a blithering idiot..snip..

2 years ago, Parnas was there representing interests in the Ukrainian government. Who was running Ukraine 2 years ago? Porenshenko was. Zelensky didn’t win election until April of 2019.

Parnas is there to **try** to lobby for corrupt Ukrainian gov’t officials. So as you watch the video and see Parnas buttering Trump up, flattering him, tattling to him Yovanovich talking about Trump being impeached, remember he’s 1 face in a sea of donors at dinners like this trying to impress Trump.

What happened SINCE this video was made?
Well, as it so happens, Parnas got some bad news.

He was INDICTED and arrested for illegally bringing in foreign money from overseas & donating to US political campaigns.

This is TRUMP’S DOJ that is indicting & prosecuting this guy. Parnas is no longer just one face in a sea of donors relentlessly sucking up to Trump at photo ops and fund raising dinners.

He’s a guy trying to get a DEAL to avoid a prison sentence.

Notice he’s not trying to get a deal with SDNY/Dept. of Justice. This desperate guy & his lawyer are going to THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS and the DNC MEDIA COMPLEX [but I repeat myself!] selling lurid and ribald tales of his being a SECRET AGENT FOR TRUMP.
Parnas is selling himself to the gullible as “Trump’s Man In Ukraine”, coming to BRIEF HIM on the Ukraine situation...at a fundraising dinner. ...snip...
