A Russian oligarch has been charged with allegedly paying $1 million to Rudy Giuliani associates Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas as part of a scheme to influence the 2018 US elections through illegal straw donations, prosecutors announced Monday.

Andrey Muraviev, 47, was charged with conspiring with Fruman, Parnas and Andrey Kukushkin to pay US politicians illegal donations in order to help them secure licenses to start a legal marijuana business.

That’s how it works.
If you refuse to compromise your principles, they lock the gate to keep you out.

If you compromise, even in a small way, they have a hook in you.

This has been around forever. These guys are “associates” of Giuliani. They really had nothing to do with Trump. Note the “dig up dirt on Biden”. This is when Guiliani was trying to find out about Barisma.

If it weren’t for that traitorous POS, Barr, Rudy’s proof, affidavits, etc. on US/Ukrainian corruption would have been put in front of a grand jury not sent off to be buried by some Podunk US Attorney. This whole Ukrainian crap show would have never happened.

They didn't do a very good job.

The Democrats ran wild in the streets with vote fraud in 2018.

That's better than Russian collusion, isn't it?

Good question. Who specifically did these donations go to?

Note this is Giuliani associates with a small ‘a’, not Giuliani himself or Giuliani Partners, LLC. That said, Giuliani did associate with some shady characters, so he’s got a lot of smoke around him. Hopefully he was smart enough to not participate in any of their schemes. But as my grandmother told me when I was hanging around with that little scoundrel Scotty down the street, “you shall be judged by the company you keep”.

I do not think Giuliani is crooked enough or stupid enough to
do something like this.

There’s ten day old rotting fish somewhere close to this.

“...Giuliani did associate with some shady characters,...”

I suspect anyone involved in politics or business in NYC “.. associates with some shady characters,...”

So Zuckerberg gave 500 million to illegally influence elections. What is happening there? Nothing of course.

This is the 2nd publicized indictment of a Russian today. Each story mentions Trump. They will never let collusion go. Ever.

Is this similar to Al Gore & the Buddhist nuns; or more like Obama & the Pali money? Or, maybe more akin to Hillary and the foreign “donations” to the Clinton foundation?

This is not OK, unlike the Biden’s getting millions from the Ukrainians and the CCP.
