Lev Parnas is rolling out more receipts proving his narrative that Trump's former attorney and ex
New York City Mayor
Rudy Giuliani was trumpeting foul play committed by President
Joe Biden and his family despite knowing fully well he didn't have the goods. Filming himself seated at a table with Giuliani and another gentleman, Parnas can be seen holding a cell phone up reportedly with Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin speaking. Giuliani tells him, "I guess what I'm getting at is — I understand that. I understand why that's wrong; is there any specific act that any of these people performed? Did they get a kickback? Did they get a bribe?"

Russia about Biden . Recently, Parnas, who is appearing to come clean with his actions in the past, said that he told the
FBI in 2019 that the GOP's anti-Joe Biden informant should not to be trusted. Keeping with the theme of showing what he claims to know, Parnas released the "never before seen" clip by calling it, "THE VIDEO THE
Republicans DON'T [sic] WANT YOU TO SEE." The video relates to the origins of Giuliani going out to suggest Biden's son Hunter Biden was mixed up in questionable money scheme with a Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where he served on the board . He went on to solicit story pitches lifted from Hunter Biden's laptop to news outlets. A year prior, Giuliani had badmouthed reportedly Kremlin-aligned prosecutor, Shokin, whom the Ukrainian Parliament supposedly sacked for failing to clamp down on corruption .

Donald Trump , recently told a story of the ex-president's "depravity" on Jan. 6 that she said should show why he must be defeated. Trump commonly boats about the importance of crowd sizes, including inflating his own.

Conservative Heath Mayo said, "Looks like a lot of [Principles First] folks are out in force in Iowa tonight." He linked to a video of the crowd from Kevin Cavallin, who said he was waiting to hear Cheney speak at
Drake University's Bucksbaum Lecture Series in Des Moines. Another user on X, @Kara_ahern, said, "Big crowd in Des Moines tonight to hear Liz Cheney." @SacksRosie wrote, "Full house...a lot more people in this crowd than Trump could attract...Liz Cheney always said she would make it her business that Trump would never get back into the WH..this is impressive."

Tim Miller, the former communications director for the Jeb Bush's 2016 campaign, appeared on MSNBC's "Alex Wagner Tonight" to suggest that some of these fervent backers of MAGA being suckered could help
Democrats make their case in the upcoming election. "They are making one donation and actually they are having a monthly withdrawal taken from their accounts," he said. "This has been happening over and over again so you know there are plenty of these supporters that are getting scammed and I think that this is potentially a useful political issue for Democrats, frankly, because it undermines a core message of Donald Trump that he cares about these people."

MILITARY veterans, nurses and even experienced political operatives." Ever since fleeing the
White House for Mar-a-Lago in 2021 after suffering a defeat by President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump has burned through $100 million on lawyers and residual costs dealing with his many investigations, indictments and both civil and criminal trials, according to The Times. It's estimated the 45th president is spending on average more than $90,000 a day in legal-related costs out of other peoples' money and has been doing it for three years running. The Times found that Trump "has relied almost entirely on donations made in an attempt to fight the results of the 2020 election." Miller noted that these supporters may be fine with backing his legal defense efforts, keep his jet fueled, or float his "fancy dinners at Mar-a-Lago." He said, "they don't care because it's their way to give the middle finger to the people they don't like." But there are others who are sore about it. These "other people" Miller contends that are "donating really believed that that money was going to an
election defense fund, that there was fraud in the election, that literally believe that the country is under threat; it's under some invasion and the little $10 donation they give is part of the effort to stop that vision and to support candidates that are going to put in policies that they care about." He suggested this pool often are elderly with less internet savviness "who are literally getting conned." Watch below or click here.

JustSecurity reporter Adam Klasfeld highlighted the line from the disbarment recommendation filing for John Eastman. Eastman was indicted alongside former president Donald Trump for his alleged role in a scheme to overturn the results of Georgia's presidential election in 2020. "A blistering line from John Eastman's disbarment recommendation: The Bar finds that the 'scale and egregiousness' of Eastman’s 'unethical actions far surpasses the misconduct' by Nixon henchman Donald Segretti, who coined the word 'ratf------' for political dirty tricks," Klasfeld wrote on his
Social Media.

The order further says: "This is an important factor, as it constitutes a fundamental breach of an attorney's core ethical duties." Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said on Wednesday, "Clear and convincing evidence of engaging in election fraud... and, yes, worse than Watergate." CONTINUE READING Show less
