of course Parnas is untrustworthy!! look at who he hung around with, who he worked for in Ukraine, who gave him access to authorities in both Ukraine and the top Republicans in this country as all the videos and pictures show!! like Parnas said, why should anyone in authority agree to meet with him? except he was connected to Rudy and Trump, and that gave him access to all these major power players so he could help Giuliani make deals and help trump get Ukraine to announce an investigation into biden and crowdstrike from 3 years ago or not get their vital military aid the GAO recently ruled Trump illegally withheld to use as the quid pro quo....
but just like with every other trial, or investigation, the cops, the prosecutors, the judges, the juries know that criminals tend to hang around with other criminals, or at least sleazy, untrustworthy types, so they listen to their testimony- THEN VERIFY....we know trump is a lying piece of shit, for example. so when he denies all this stuff, you have to believe he is lying...but, if he did let rudy or pompeo or bolton or rick perry or mulvaney testify under oath and they could somehow if not prove him not guilty, at least make it somewhat reasonable to doubt the slam dunk case against him right now, then we would have to at least give him the benefit of the doubt.
can any trump defender give an explanation for why Parnas had such access to really high level Ukrainians if he was not acting with Rudy and Trump at their direction and the Ukrainians knew it? Like your source the current Ukrainian foreign minister- why should he even know Parnas, much less have been around him enough to not trust him, and by extension Rudy, since they worked together in Ukraine?
And trump and McCarthy and Jared and nunes....why should a relatively obscure nobody like Parnas be hanging around all these high up Trump stooges and cronies and Trump himself, if he was not working with Rudy which gave him that access?
