Your posts are always hopeful of the latest bombshell being the final bombshell. A couple of things.
Parmas is under indictment and looking for a quid pro quo.
Vadym Prystaiko, effectively cleared President Trump of any wrongdoing.
Is Trump like the Mafia? Ask the Chinese. They caved and the tariffs are still in place. Now that’s leverage.
I don't think any of us are naive enough to think ANY bombshell will result in Trump cult members voting to remove him in the Senate. But the GOP has some very tenuous Senate seats to defend in 2020,and continued revelations are going to add to the anxiety of people like Collins, Gardner, and McSally who all face very uphill races, as well as Ernst and Tillis who are going to face stiff challenges.
Parnas is a REPUBLICAN MILLIONAIRE. He is under indictment for illegally shifting cash to GOP candidates, so you might want to go easy on the "indictment "aspect" He works for Rudy, he had lunch with Rudy at Trump Tower hours before he was arrested. When arrested he (and Fruman) were holding 1 way tickets to Vienna,and Rudy was scheduled to fly to Vienna a couple of days later- a trip he cancelled following Parnas' arrest.
Parnas also has had multiple contacts with Derek Harvey, who in addition being a former WH official is also Nunes' top aide. Some more emails between Harvey and Parnas were just released yesterday...
"
The messages show that Harvey was far more involved than previously known in what appears to be a robust effort by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee to investigate Ukraine-related matters.
The documents released Friday include messages between Parnas and Harvey arranging times to meet and to speak by phone, and sharing articles and tweets about Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and alleged Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 election, claims that
have been called an unfounded conspiracy theory."

You know Parnas did not just start showing up in pics with Trump AFTER Trump was elected. There are multiple FB photos and timeline entries posted by Parnas and people who knew him discussing his friendship with Trump, going back as far as 2013-2014... Parnas lives in Florida (Boca Raton) and my guess is he has been seen at Mara lago on more than 1 occasion.
Parnas has reported that Nunes met with Shokin in Vienna in Dec 2018, which happens to coincide with a short few days (taxpayer-funded) jaunt that Nunes (and Harvey) made at that time. Parnas has claimed that HE arranged the meeting,and while the Pubs try to claim otherwise, they are stuck with the remarkable coincidence of Parnas pinpointing the date BEFORE Nunes' travel schedule came under scrutiny by the media and was reported on. Now I'd call that a pretty remarkable coincidence, right up there with all the people who claim NOT to know Parnas but somehow keep showing up in pics and videos that he happens to be in...
More remarkable coincidences? All the "businessmen" from various points in Eastern Europe who are widely viewed as connected with the "Russian Mob" ,that somehow figure into Donald Trump's orbit.
"Trump’s favorite kind of immigrants have a common life story. They came to the land of opportunity from some former Soviet Socialist Republic with barely two kopecks to rub together. They then amassed enormous fortunes either through opaque business practices or completely unknown means. Some have rap sheets and did time; others wound up living in Trump Tower, if not living it up at one of the president’s many bankrupted casinos or resorts. Still others have tried to help Trump erect glittering and gaudy monuments to himself, from Fort Lauderdale to Moscow, only to fail miserably.
All, however, have boasted about their warm personal or professional relationships with the celebrity mogul turned commander-in-chief, even if the favor hasn’t always been returned. And every one of them has alleged connections, either directly or through their own dubious associations, to Russian organized crime—which they categorically deny.
To make things easier for laymen and specialists alike, The Daily Beast has compiled sketches of what we’re calling The Donald’s Dirty Dozen. Many of these ties were first unearthed and detailed in a seminal work from investigative journalist Craig Unger, whose
House of Trump, House of Putin remains the go-to book on the subject"
