Devin Nunes is an embarrassing waste of space - and a dick - Part 2

He's also completely up to his eyeballs in the presidential corruption schemes. We already know he was a very big part of Trump's campaign to the presidency and was on the Trump transition team. (Which, by the way, made him uniquely unqualified to run the House Intel investigation into Trump-Russia collusion, and yet he did it anyway. And if you haven't read this Medium article, which in large part discusses Nunes' ties to Mike Flynn, I recommend it.)

But now...there's this...

Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for Rep. Devin Nunes in 2018, Parnas’ lawyer Ed MacMahon told The Daily Beast.

If you're not yet familiar with the name Lev Parnas, look it up. Or do a search on YWA.

Congressional records show Nunes traveled to Europe from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, 2018. Three of his aides—[Derek] Harvey, Scott Glabe, and George Pappas—traveled with him, per the records. U.S. government funds paid for the group’s four-day trip, which cost just over $63,000.

The travel came as Nunes, in his role on the House Intelligence Committee, was working to investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election-meddling.

Nunes has been helming the GOP’s involvement in the impeachment inquiry.

Giuliani has been a subject of much discussion at the impeachment hearings. To a lesser extent, so have Parnas and his associate, Igor Fruman, who worked with Giuliani as he attempted to find damaging information on Joe and Hunter Biden from Ukrainian sources.

When congressional investigators began probing Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, Nunes made a late-night visit to the White House and announced the next day he’d found evidence of egregious wrongdoing by Intelligence Community officials. The move appeared to be an effort to corroborate a presidential tweet claiming that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. Nunes then stepped back from the committee’s work scrutinizing Russian efforts. Instead, he ran a parallel probe looking at the origins of Mueller’s Russia probe. The undertaking made him a hero to the president and Sean Hannity, and a bête noire of Democrats and Intelligence Community officials. That work was still underway when he traveled to Europe in 2018.

Last month, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York charged Parnas and Fruman with illegally moving money from foreign donors to American political campaigns. Both men maintain their innocence.

When Nunes traveled to Europe in 2018, Giuliani—who is Trump’s personal attorney—was working to oust Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch from her post in Kyiv. The Justice Department indictment of Parnas and Fruman alleges they illegally moved money into American elections to “advance the political interests of... a Ukrainian government official who sought the dismissal of the U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine.”

After having been trashed by the president Parnas thought was his friend, Parnas is now willing (perhaps eager) to "testify completely and accurately about his involvement in the President and Rudy Giuliani’s quid pro quo demands of Ukraine,” according to his lawyer. Parnas is lucky he's on house arrest rather than in a jail cell like Jeffrey Epstein was.
