Lev Parnas says that no one in Trump's world gave Volodomyr Zelensky "any credit when he came into office," as they thought "He's just a comedian; He will just roll over and play ball," however Zelensky refused the requests of Donald Trump, one of the most powerful men in the world, to drum-up a fake investigation into the Bidens' link to Burisma Energy.
It was not the Ukrainian government seeking to meddle in US elections or to support Democrats nor Republicans - it was Russia and its agents, says Parnas, through the use of the Burisma scandal.
Why, despite giving eight hours of testimony before Congress, did Republicans refuse to ask Parnas a single question?
Parnas says that it is because Republicans already had all of the evidence showing that what he was saying under oath is truthful and accurate: There is no basis to the story that the Bidens were engaged in corruption, in Ukraine.
So, what continues to motivate Donald Trump's and his MAGA followers hatred of Ukraine?
Simply, they hate that Ukraine was unwilling to illegally meddle in American politics to help-out the Trump campaign.
But is it not odd that Parnas decided to come-out now with these incredible accusations?
Parnas argues that he has been making these arguments for years, but now they are ever more apropos as he wishes to do what is right - something that will help the Ukrainian people.
Alarmingly, Americans should listen, says Parnas, as "the MAGA cult," and "people in Congress who are actually supporting Vladimir Putin... motivated by Donald Trump's hatred of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people because they did not give him what he wanted."
Lev Parnas gives first-hand insight into what really ocurred in the Trump White House - and why anyone who cares about Ukraine should be paying attention.

@Justin, What were MRGA trolls hoping for?
Did they want the article to provide false facts that make Trump look like he is a supporter of Ukraine?
Or were you hoping for more of the easy stuff to find that reveals he is not interested in supporting Ukraine?
I can find alot of material on the latter, but sadly have come across nothing yet that acts as proof of the former.
Please share with the rest of us, if you have anything at all that shows putinrump will help Ukraine.
Nonsense
@Scott. What were you hoping for?

As an American, quite familiar with my country's politics, I thoroughly disagree with this article. Although the author has a right to his opinion, this piece is full of inaccuracies, and misstatements. Presumptions and assumptions throughout. I am unable to find a factually accurate thread.
@Just Dave, Actually folks can quickly goggle everything I write and pretty quickly find credible sources that substantiate my posts. Was there a particular point I made that you would like a quote or citation for?
The scary thing for the MRGA movement is I'm just one of millions of similar Ukraine volunteers across the world that are fed with the ATUAL LIES spread by the MRGA movement.....some MAGA sheep people are so stupid that they accept those as truth without even double checking.
Two years ago I made a personal commitment that I would support Ukraine aghast the source democracy's shared infection: MRGA. as leader of their US branch, Putinrump is bad news for Ukraine (and the USA)....end of story. I happily debunk lies that say otherwise every day.
So let me know what you'd like more info on....I keep pretty good records and can generally quickly reply. I cost no one nothing: just filling in spare time for a good cause. I glad the truth is getting out.
Putinrump. has been documented as having told +30,500 lies in his 4 year presidential term alone. He also tried to overthrow the legally elected US government in 2021.
During his disastrous term he withheld congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine, he openly states Ukraine would not be aided by a second putinrump administration, and he leverages his MRGA minions to continue to stall current USA aid to Ukraine.
putinrump specializes in fraud, sexual assault and in general making American's hate each other. I've previously posted about his +4000 legal cases even before entering the White House, +2 impeachments and 91 felony charges since.
According to at least 24 of his former senior appointees in the White House, his presidential skills or ethical aspirations do not go far beyond spreading false narratives or hate (quotes available).
Yet this remains the man the MRGA cult best feels represents their values?
Yes.... Hunter Biden's vast wealth of subject matter expertise was certainly why Burisma had him as a well paid board member. Nothing else... I'm sure.
I think it was different than this. Donald Trump’s quid pro quo got him impeached. Biden’s statement and if Ukraine didn’t fire the prosecutor he would not give them $1 billion. Why did Biden get away with a quid pro quo, and Trump did not? I believe this is the reason why Trump hates Ukraine.
Absurd article.
Parnas is a Russian, hostile to Trump with an uncertain agenda. Do not believe a word of what is written above.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Parnas
Ukrainians should not fear a Trump presidency and Putin should not be encouraged by the prospect. We do not know exactly how Trump will end this war but he will end it from a position of strength, and by making Putin and offer that he cannot refuse.
Strumpf mag dan een hekel aan Oekraïne hebben, de rest van de wereld heeft een hekel aan Strumpf. Mooi toch? Die primaat komt toch niet aan de bak.
I fully believe Mr. @levparnas!! I know the one time I met him, He told me basically what's in this very honest article he wrote! I fully support Mr. Parnas in his exposing the factual truth about the illegal activities Trump and Giuliani wanted Ukraine to lie to the American people! Thankfully President @ZelenskyyUa refused to lie for Trump! Thank you to the #Ukraine️ President @ZelenskyyUa!!!
@Norris,
Under putinrump:
1. The US economy lost 2.9 million jobs. Unemployment increased by 1.6%.
2. The U.S. trade deficit was the highest since 2008 and had increased 40.5% from his election in 2016. MAGA hats made in china.
3. Americans lacking health insurance rose by 3 million
4. The federal debt rose 50% from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
5. Home prices rose 27.5%,
6. Illegal immigration increased. Obama deported 3.4 million more.
7. Handgun production rose 12.5%.
8. Murder rate rose 1.1% to the highest level since 1997.
9. Economic growth slowed 3.4 %.
10. 154,000 Manufacturing jobs were lost.
11. Inflation went up 7.4%.
12. Oil production went up 27% albeit it remains 500K barrels a day less then currently under Biden,
13. The USA had the 18th highest per capita covid deaths in the world. Canada had 88th highest death rate
14. Trump filled 33% of Supreme Court; 30% of the appellate court; and 25% of District Court seats with his MRGA cronies. Some help shelter him from the law, and take away USA rights.
15. He spread debunked election lies and fomented an insurrection to overthrow the legal USA goverment.
Fortunately his VP Mike Pence had his own balls and stopped the presidential vote certification fraud putinrumps balls wanted.
It was the best of times for sure (sarcasm intended)!
the common factor among those whohate Ukraine is that theyhate and want to change the factthat Ukraine has a government that can stop them from robbing Ukraineof all its resources, the way that Putin and his choseb oligarchs have robbed Russia since he became {President 20+ ywars ago.Putin and medvedec became fabulously wealthy by robbing Russia and intended to carry on theirrobberies in Ukraine forthemselvesand their chosen oligarchsbut for that to happe, there has to be no government or a government that the chief robbers choose.
Trump and Putin are boils on the butt of our world.
@Betty Gilchrist, dont forget the Bidens.
@Jack Griffin,
I don't think we now for sure yet putinrump has boils on his butt. Fortunately, his mug shots were not that revealing.
Judging from the 25 women that have claimed putintrump sexually assaulted them; his swinging days as Jeffrey Epstein's wingman (a man subsequently convicted of procuring children for prostitution, but then murders shortly after his imporisionment during trumps term); his affairs with at least two porn stars (current PAC hush money felony trials and a NDA payoff); and the +$88 million he had to pay related to the sexual assault of one of his victims;
...and then his Access Hollywood interview where he stated ""You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it, you can do anything ... grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
....while all those fact it just make me suspect that if there were boils they might be somewhere else.
What are your thoughts MRGA troll jack?
You seem t know putinrump better than the rest of us.
@John, you're lies have no limits but you come off as a paid shill keep talking only other TDS sufferers are seeing your posts as anything but comical.
@Just Dave, See my post above Dave. I'm open to provide quotes and citations for any info I post which you doubt.
It's important we all get on the same pages as far as how dangerous putin and putinrump are for all democracies.
I'll check back tomorrow to see what your specific requests are.
Thank you Lev for talking out against the Government of Putin aka MAGA! I see a few comments down here that KNOW absolutely nothing on what they are talking about!
Trump has been working for Russia since 1987! When after coming home from Russia he took a 1 page ad out in papers calling for America to get out of NATO! Got so bad the Regan called him out! Not to mention, the US signed a treaty we would protect them if they gave up their nukes! Putin wants ALL countries back under Russian control just like it was under the USSR!
No, nothing at all unusual about having a completely unqualified ignorant crackhead on your board and paying him exorbitantly. That his daddy was the U.S. Vice president?..... coincidence. Labeling a significant portion of Americans as "cultist"? Not so wise, Mr. Smart. Call me silly, but I recall the four years with Mr. Trump as president as being pretty good times in this country. Our economy was strong and benefitting lives across every every tax bracket and demographic. The world's dictators stayed in their boxes. Remember that Putin has only acted militarily against Ukraine when there was a lack of leadership from Washington. Crimea and the Donbas region fell to russia during the Obama/Biden administration and not much was done about it. When Biden became president Putin was obviously feeling emboldened. But hey, I'm just some crazy cultist. What do I know?
@Norris, 1st off Hunter wasn’t always on crack! He graduated from YALE college worked under Clinton in the E Commerce department, worked under George W Bush who appointed him to the Amtrak board for 5 years! He also worked himself up in MBNA to executive VP! His drug addiction it hard when his brother died.
I guess you didn’t know that Mike Flynn was the one who was supposed to warn Obama about what Putin was up to & when the invasion was going to happen! That is WHY he was fired by Obama! Flynn decided to work for Putin & Turkey! He should be in prison right now but Trump pardoned him! But like you said, you are in a CULT & have no idea what you are talking about!
@Heidi, Lmao, I don’t even know where to start… You are incredibly delusional, naive, gullible, and/or straight up ignorant. Any idea why Hunter was “appointed” to the Amtrak board? Hint: It wasn’t because he was qualified, unless of course you consider riding Amtrak trains occasionally as a “qualification”. Every single “job” or “opportunity” he has ever had was because of his father’s name and political standing. EVERY SINGLE ONE. He isn’t qualified to run a McDonalds and has been an extremely shady scumbag the vast majority of his public life. You TDS “maga cult” morons are so blinded by your hate for anything Trump that you can’t see reality and look at things objectively. Despite a laundry list of evidence, you refuse to acknowledge how sketchy the Biden family is and dismiss anything that doesn’t fit your carefully created narrative as “misinformation”. Morons like yourself live in an echo chamber of delusional stupidity and refuse to entertain the idea that their views may in fact be wrong. You are at best a useful idiot for one of the worst “leaders” America has ever seen. I despise Biden and I fully support and stand with Ukraine. Unfortunately, divisive morons like yourself (who attack anyone who supports Trump over Biden) are the reason a lot of Republicans are losing interest in supporting Ukraine. Do better.

@John, no matter how many times you tell the same lies it doesn't make them true. Carry on trollbot.

@Heidi, He is still on crack and other narcotic substances. Have you been living on one of Saturn's moons? Your insistence on viewing everything through the D & R lenses fatally distorts pursuit of the truth.
Parnas doesn’t need to "argue" he has been "making these arguments for years." He had been stating his case in public for at least four years. He first requested to testify at Donald Trump's first impeachment trial. Most of the detail was published at the time in the U.S. Four years ago, he laid out his case on US national television to MSNBC news anchor Rachel Maddow. That interview is preserved on YouTube. I recommend looking it up.
Trump favors oil and gas industry sector. Trump might be getting weslth from Russian oligarch investors .Who knows ?
@Hope, might?? That would be YES! Along with Saudis!
Is this guy getting a little money from the Biden campaign? I wonder...😀
