The only person lying here is you in an attempt to take what Lev Parnas says he's good at and turning it into some sort of truth to fit a narrative that isn't there.  These men spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to swing in social circles to have an appearance of being connected then scammed people out of money.

>In 2018, the men made hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to Republican causes while enjoying VIP access to party and Trump administration circles.

>Filings with the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) show that Fruman and Parnas spread their money widely.

>Fruman kicked off the effort on Feb. 20, giving $2,700 each to two pro-Trump groups, Trump Victory and Donald J. Trump for President.

>Less than two weeks later, Fruman and Parnas attended a fundraiser for Trump’s re-election at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

>This was followed by a several-month-long spree of donations — of a total value of at least $576,500 — to campaigns including the successful 2018 Senate bid of former Florida governor Rick Scott, and the re-elections of Texas Representative Pete Sessions and South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson. All are Republicans.

Just because they "bought" their way into political circles it does not mean they knew everyone personally.  They were con artist, scammers with a long history.  Their objective was to be photographed in public with high ranking officials then wave the photos around bragging they had connections they didn't have.  The media, and just as you did here with Pense, showed a video of them close in proximity, but as was pointed out in the Trump video released it states the video does not show the two talking.....now if you'd watch that video on CNN they wouldn't point that fact out, because it's a narrative, an agenda to show association to assume a guilt.....just as you did with Pense, you made an assumption that he was turning towards Parnas, trying to plant something in people's minds that simply wasn't there, if it was you'd showed it. 

>Felix Vulis, the head of Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation, a firm owned by a trio of Kazakhstani oligarchs, asserted that Parnas and Fruman had failed to repay a two-month $100,000 loan he had given to Global Energy Producers earlier in the year. The two men had boasted about their relationship with Guiliani and other influential figures while asking for the loan, according to the complaint.

>Vulis has yet to be paid, according to his lawyer, Robert Stok.

>The men said “they had all this influence,” Stok said. “They said Trump and his associates were going to back their company. That they had direct access to the White House.”

>Tony Andre, a Florida lawyer who has been trying to collect the $500,000 movie deal judgement against Parnas, also expressed astonishment at what he sees as the businessman’s brazenness.


When it comes to the firing of the ambassador Giuliani is never mentioned in this interview:

>Parnas said he and Fruman told Sessions that Yovanovitch was disloyal to the president and questioned whether she should serve. “She was bad-mouthing our president about getting impeached,” said Parnas.

Sessions, however, said he had been the one to bring up concerns about Yovanovitch with Parnas and Fruman, but that he could not remember when or where the discussion took place.

>“I do know both these gentlemen,” Sessions said. “They are Republicans. They are people who have an interest in foreign affairs. They have a strong interest in America not backing away from Ukraine.”

>The next month, Parnas and Fruman donated a total of $5,400 to Sessions’ unsuccessful 2018 re-election campaign, FEC records show.

>Yovanovitch stepped down this May following a flurry of negative stories about her in the conservative media, which included the publication in The Hill of a leaked copy of Sessions’ letter. The press blitz also included frequent reference to Lutsenko’s inflammatory allegations against the ambassador.






>Given Parnas and Fruman’s relationships with senior Ukrainian officials and their business interests in the country, their lobbying against a U.S. ambassador raises questions about their compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

>The act requires Americans operating on behalf of a foreign entity in the United States to declare their work to the Department of Justice. Parnas and Fruman did not do so.

>Their lobbying of Sessions raises “the thorniest red flag,” said Ron Oleynik, a Washington attorney who advises clients on FARA compliance. “That, to me, is clearly trying to influence an office of the United States toward Ukraine.”

>Parnas, however, said they acted on their own accord.

>“I just kept hearing [about Yovanovitch] from different people,” he said.


From my understanding Giuliani's own concerns with the ambassador were expressed after he starting communicating with Firtash.  Firtash could set Giuliani up with the right connections concerning the election interference and the Manafort black book but the ambassador was problematic, she stood in the way.  She basically was the "armed guard" in Ukraine until Trump was no longer in office, she was basically the safe keeper of all the dirty underhanded corruption going on during the Obama administration.  Firtash is the reason Giuliani has repeatedly stated that "I started looking into this Russian collusion in preparation for defense of the president and Joe and Hunter Biden just happen to fall in my lap".  Parnas can't be trusted, he flips around where it suits him best, he's already made himself out a liar on national television when he told Rachael Maddow that he talked to the president personally in one part of their conversation and when the interview went off air he told her he'd never spoken to the president personally when it came to Ukraine.  I find it rather ironic he ended an interview with her the exact same way he ended it with Maddow, that the truth will come out....and in the end I don't see that truth being on the democrats side, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the republicans have been way out ahead of the democrats in this investigation.  They've done gotten their hands on what's most pertinent in all this.  They, unlike what you'd like to believe here, probably can't wait to get Parnas on the stand.
