False. He mentioned Biden and son plus elements of the DNC server hacking from 2016. And then there was Trump’s reference to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s poor performance before Congress in July about the Trump-Russia investigation. Trump added, “a lot of it started with Ukraine” and asked for help in gathering information about the probe's origins.Trump did not mention corruption in the call. Biden and Burisma....

So there was plenty of talk of corruption.
What there wasn’t was any demand to investigate Biden as part of a quid pro quo.
I can tell what was discussed just fine from the transcript.check the documentation from parnas....
The "elements" mentioned were basically the Putin backed conspiracy fantasy.
Trump also mentioned tha Ukrainian company Crowstrike and that Biden bragged about stopping an investigation...defend that.

A failed crime is still a crime.Better than “pretty good!” Damning is more like it.

An implied quid pro quo with no threat and never followed through on is nowhere near an executive abuse of power.
The charge is unsubstantiated.
Oh a butthurt person fired, does an interview on a leftist network- that's evidence ? LOL!!!
Unsupported, yet salacious claims while MSNBC blows it up as a nuclear bomb going off.
In the end though, there will be nothing major there because if he had something major, he’d have shared it by now to save his own skin. Parnas is a desperate man and has ever reason to lie at this point.
But the media have no standards. Maddow is "the boy who cried wolf" one time to many.
(845923903483 character word salad to follow LOL)
Parnas LOL You fell for maddow's little story didnt you ? How cute !
yeah- he's been debunked already.
Nothingburgers- again !
WATCH: @maddow tells @Lawrence she feels Parnas is coming forward because "he's worried" about going to jail and he wants to make it clear "that he wants to cooperate, he wants to testify with congressional investigators in the impeachment investigation." https://t.co/CKamsWtzqF

*. Parnas claimed that the president threatened to withhold all aid from Ukraine if it did not publicly announce an investigation into the Bidens, and he delivered that "very harsh message" to Ukrainian officials on behalf of Giuliani and Trump.
We know that is not true because every single Ukrainian official, even those that would benefit from nailing Trump here, have said that didn’t happen. All the witnesses trotted out by Adam Schiff, who were hostile to the President, said that didn’t happen. The Ukrainian president himself says that didn’t happen. For his part, Parnas provided no evidence of the claim.
**Parnas also directly connected Trump to the Ukraine pressure campaign to investigate the Bidens, saying the president "knew exactly what was going on."
So what? Barr obviously didn’t act on them and we know the DOJ dismissed them. Trying to connect Barr here is just playing into the Democrat pipe dream that they can nail the Attorney General in this and it’s completely transparent what Parnas is trying to do.
Parnas’ “direct connection” to Trump isn’t actually a direct connection at all. It’s a guy under indictment trying to get a cooperation deal making a baseless accusation. Like his previous claims, Parnas provides no evidence to back up what he’s saying.
***it was never about corruption," Parnas said. "It was never – it was strictly about Burisma, which included Hunter Biden and Joe Biden."

In regards to VP Pence, we know that’s not true because Jennifer Williams, who was an Adam Schiff witness and who trashed Trump’s Ukraine machinations, said it wasn’t true. It would make no sense for her to lie about Pence while simultaneously being a witness against Trump. Further, we also know that Zelensky never “refused” to announce an investigation into the Bidens at that time. In fact, the accusation to this point by Democrats has been that Sondland had successfully gotten a commitment from Zelensky. So which is it?
Maddow went through the entire Lev Parnas interview without asking him about his own case, or why he was so interested in getting rid of Yovanovitch well before Rudy came along. Remarkable journalism.
Low I.Q. leftists fell for this again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump said Crowdstrike is Ukrainian compny? He also said Joe Biden bragged about stopping an investigation...was he lying?I can tell what was discussed just fine from the transcript.
When is he not?Trump said Crowdstrike is Ukrainian compny? He also said Joe Biden bragged about stopping an investigation...was he lying?
Yes, I did rob the bank, but I returned the money as soon as I was caught!A failed crime is still a crime.
That's kinda why US bankers cut him off decades ago.Yes, I did rob the bank, but I returned the money as soon as I was caught!
So you're admitting that he's guilty of leading the effort to pressure Ukraine into smearing Biden and withheld aid in order to get them to do so.**Parnas also directly connected Trump to the Ukraine pressure campaign to investigate the Bidens, saying the president "knew exactly what was going on."
So what?
Except contemporaneous notes and text messages affirming just that.For his part, Parnas provided no evidence of the claim.
More like Yeah I tried to rob a bank but when the cops busted in and I dropped the bag of loot and ran.Yes, I did rob the bank, but I returned the money as soon as I was caught!
So you're admitting that he's guilty of leading the effort to pressure Ukraine into smearing Biden and withheld aid in order to get them to do so.
And your responst to that is
Except contemporaneous notes and text messages affirming just that.
Nothing Parnas has said has been discredited. He has turned over a lot of evidence...recorded conversations, email, text messages....
Is he under indictment? Yup, he made illegal donations to Trump.
So? You seem to think that means he has been proven to be lying. Too bad about those tapes, eh?
Trump said he doesn't know Parnas....Too bad about all those pictures of Trump, Rudy and Parnas....eh?
Just for laughs, feature Pence both trying to be president and run for election in November....So not that I think this is nigh, but still. So IF Don WAS removed, would Mike Pence's wife allow him off his leash so he could be president? Some of these world leaders are women you know, and neither Mike nor his wife seem to trust him around women sans his wife's chaperoning. And if both vaginas and alcohol are present? Forgive me Father.
Periods for Pence evolves into Tampons for TrumpJust for laughs, feature Pence both trying to be president and run for election in November....
