So, to recap, Parnas's firm is called "Fraud Guarantee", and Fruman's club in Odessa is called "MAFIA RAVE".

Is "Johnny Hitman" their "agent.?"

Those are perhaps the most appropriate business names I've encountered since Snidely Whiplash carried out his dastardly schemes under the cover of a building demolition firm called "Edifice Wrecks."

I guess sometimes going all in with oblivious and obvious can work. I will definitely binge watch the rest of the season.
Apparently Corruption Inc. was already taken?

I mean serious how on the nose can you get with this shit?

This must really be bad. I folded and turned to Fox and Friends to see what they are feeding their people. Not even a mention at 8:00 hour.

They're a real news agency. They were the only ones to cover Trump's rally last night in toto. /s

Per Yovanovitch From CNN :

“With respect to Mayor Giuliani, I have had only minimal contacts with him—a total of three that I recall. None related to the events at issue,” she said, according to her prepared remarks. “I do not know Mr. Giuliani’s motives for attacking me. But individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr. Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.”

So apparently she’s not testifying behind closed doors?

I feel a little dirty chuckling at this.... but I cant help it.
This one is good:
(cheeto speaking)
"Two more weeks: "I've never met the guy!"
Six more months: "Angry Democrat Rudy Giuliani"
One more year: "Obama's personal attorney! They were always out for me!" "

They're like Dick Tracy villains that never can understand why the dude with the radio watch is always foiling their schemes.

If anyone doubted for a second that Team Trump/Rudy Giuliani ever solicited DNC/Clinton dirt from Russia, or that the Kremlin was involved with the current Ukraine Clown Posse—well doubt no more.



Indicted Giuliani associate worked on behalf of Ukrainian oligarch Firtash


One of the two Florida businessmen who helped U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal attorney investigate his political rival, Democrat Joe Biden, also has been working for the legal team of a Ukrainian oligarch who faces bribery charges in the United States, according to attorneys for the businessmen and the oligarch.

Lev Parnas, one of the two associates of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, served as a translator for lawyers representing oligarch Dmytro Firtash. Parnas was arrested on Thursday along with the other Florida businessman, Igor Fruman, on unrelated charges that included illegally funneling $325,000 to a political action committee supporting pro-Trump candidates.

Firtash, one of Ukraine’s wealthiest businessmen, is battling extradition by U.S. authorities on bribery charges from Vienna, where he has lived for five years.

Federal prosecutors in Illinois said in court papers in 2017 that Firtash was an “upper-echelon” associate of Russian organized crime. He was indicted in 2013 and charged with bribing Indian officials for access to titanium mines. Firtash has denied any wrongdoing.



Firtash has a direct connection to Putin as well. Must be a coincidence that he’s held in Vienna, and these 2 goons were flying to Frankfurt and then on to Vienna (where Rudy was supposed to be one day later...)
