The latest in the Ukraine caper: The chattering classes are abuzz about text messages and other materials turned over by Lev Parnas, the former Rudy Guliani associate indicted for violation of campaign finance laws.
Parnas turned over the contents of his iPhone over the weekend to the House Intelligence Committee. According to his attorney, this included a “trove…of messages…detailing interactions with a number of individuals relevant to the impeachment inquiry.” The committee this evening released a summary of the relevant contents. Parnas also turned over handwritten notes, including one scrawled on a napkin at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Vienna: “get Zalensky [sic] to Annonce [sic] that the Biden case will Be Investigated.” Pretty on the nose, there. A federal judge ruled yesterday that Parnas can provide materials from three other devices as well.
Will any of these materials shake anything up in the impeachment drama? Who knows!
The Parnas news gives Mike Huckabee critic Daniel Uhlfelder a chance to jab the Huckster:
