One small portion of the two day interview with Lev Parnas.
Last week Lev Parnas, former henchman working with Rudy Giuliani for Trump, was interviewed by Rachel Maddow. Parnas discussed a private gathering of around 6 people in Trump’s inner circle that he and Igor Fruman attended. The topic of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch came up.
Trump reacted to false stories that she made statements such as Trump was going to be impeached so don’t worry about him, or don’t work with him.
Trump says “Get rid of her!”, Get her out tomorrow!”, “I don’t care!”, “Get her out tomorrow!”, “Take her out!”
It turns out that Igor, of Lev & Igor, was recording the whole meeting. Above, Rachel plays a small clip from that recording.
Also at that meeting supposedly was Donald Trump Jr., who was also involved in the smear campaign to discredit and harass Ambassador Yovanovitch.
Donald Trump Jr. should be called as a witness in the Trump impeachment hearings for high crimes and misdemeanors instead of the Bidens who were victims of the Trump scandal.
Trump needed Yovanovitch out of the way so he and Giuliani could carry out their Kremlin concocted Cloudstrike conspiracy theory to place blame on Ukraine instead of Putin for the 2016 election meddling.
Trump and Giuliani fell for the bait like bottom feeding suckers. Putin wanted to absolve himself for any blame in the 2016 U.S. election meddling that inflicted the United States with Trump. Trump wanted to take the blame away from Putin so he could say he was not an illegitimate POTUS, being planted only because of the disinformation and meddling campaign by the Kremlin. The Cloudstrike conspiracy evolved to include Barisma and Joe and Hunter Biden once former V.P. Biden announced his candidacy for the 2020 U.S. election.
Lev Parnas, it should be noted, is under indictment in the SDNY for funneling Rubles into Republican and Pro-Trump Super PACs. Sounds familiar? Just like the National Rubles Association (NRA) funneled Rubles into Republican campaigns and millions into the Trump campaign. All roads lead to Russia, where Trump and the Trump cult Republicans are concerned.
And then there was Fox News and RT on steroids. Anti-China group hired GOP strategist in pro-Trump shift https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/anti-china-group-hired-gop-strategist-in-pro-trump-shift-66703429539
It is no secret, well documented by the U.S. Intelligence Community, that they “reasonably assess” that under possible Kremlin direction the internet and social media outlets were unindated with pro-Trump and anti-Hillary propaganda by Russian state controlled propaganda outlets like RT, RT America, Sputnik, Pravda, botnets, and an ever growing list of “useful idiots” that helped propagate #fakenews. That would include many conservative websites, talk radio pundits, and Fox News cable show hosts, specifically Hannity, Pirro, Carlson, The Five, and Fox And Friends.
Rachel @maddow discusses reports by Time’s Massimo Calabresi, Axios, Bloomberg, McClatchy, Washington Post and others regarding Facebook disclosing information on Russian interference in the 2016 election and using Facebook (and other social media platforms) to target members with pro-Trump and anti-Hillary propaganda.
Maddow poses the question of domestic participants not only in the information being posted as well as the targeting of the audience. Anyone who has ever seen posts, or have received spam emails, messages, etc., from non-English speaking sources knows the grammar and phoenetics are a dead giveaway they are not from English speaking origins. It would be reasonalble to question if there were domestic participants in the production and dissemination of this propaganda if it was indeed well written.
The question of demographics and targeting is also a valid one and a reasonable source of such weaponry could be Jared Kushner’s “Stealth Data Machine”. Some circles credit Kushner for Trump’s overtaking other Republican nominees and his eventual “unpopular vote” win of the White House along with Trump campaign Digital Director Brad Parscale. Kushner had access to the Republican National Committee's voter database. Quite useful for targeting and cementing the Republican voter base, especially those who were really not fond of Trump but anti-Democrat and anti-Hillary due to the amount of #fakenews put out on her and the Republican Party’s campaign of their own #fakenews and twisting of facts surrounding Benghazi and her private email server.
Kushner also teamed up with Cambridge Analytica, a pshycographic data firm that built comprehensive pshycological and personality profiles on millions of Facebook users to target them with pin-point propaganda and disinformation aimed at getting Trump elected and discrediting Clinton. Sound familiar? The exact thing Putin was doing. Cambridge Analytica was also involved in the Ted Cruz campaign (prior to Trump), and with Brexit.
When you talk about Cambridge Analytica you must also add reference to billionaire hedge funder Robert Mercer who was one of Trump’s biggest funders (after Cruz dropped out) and Steve Bannon, who was former head of Breitbart News (and now back there again after getting kicked out of the White House). Both Mercer and Bannon had financial ties to Cambridge Analytica and Glittering Steel, the production company that helped produce the discredited Clinton Cash (book of lies) and subsequent video by political hack Peter Schweitzer. Mercer also helped fund James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas fake sting videos, as did Trump Foundation with a $10,000 donation 1 month before Trump jumped in the ring. Other notables with Mercer/Bannon/Breitbart ties who wound up in the Trump camp and White House are Kellyanne Conway and David Bossie (Citizens United ties).
OK, connect the dots. Timelines seem to follow a certain trail that starts before the 2016 campaign with a lot of stops between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign, campaign officials, Trump and company, Trump and family.
If you were let’s say an agent for Putin, and you wanted to be able to conduct a campaign to discredit Hillary Clinton, who Putin despises and accuses of trying to undermine his rigged election, and you wanted to try to put a Putin loving puppet in the highest office in the United States, and make it sound and look like it was originating from the U.S., and you wanted to effectively target American citizens based on their beliefs, preferences, fears and weaknesses, you would need detailed information on those American citizens. Who would fit that profile, who would be able to fill that bill? Jared Kushner with his Stealth Data Machine, and Cambridge Analytica, both linked to the Trump campaign, and the alt-right cult culture and fake news syndicate revolving around Breitbart and donors.

Trump declares National day of prayer & pushes it at great length, @amjoyshow @chucktodd @CBS @maddow @Lawrence @CNN @FoxNewsSunday but Trump failed to mention holocaust victims at Holocaust Remembrance Day, skipped pride month totally ignoring it, disgraced the CIA Memorial wall with a campaign speech about himself, visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and ground zero for the first time in 2016 after invoking 9/11 many times during the campaign with falsehoods, tried to turn a BSA jamboree into a Jr. Nazi rally, ignored completely the bombing of a Minnesota Mosque in August, and now that he finally shows some genuine human compassion following a disaster, albeit at least 5 days late instead of immediately like all predecessors, the media is oohing and ahing like it is some grand occurrence that this prezident is acting presidential. All the conjecture that the python has molted into a majestic eagle, the polls will turn favorable and the conservatives will be saved; always the polls.
A snake which sheds its skin is always a snake, and another Monday will soon be upon us. @HardballChris
Nothing that O'Keefe says can be considered credible. Just a political hacktivist funded by the Drumpf backing dark money donors, the same ones who backed Cruz and then Drumpf and put an incompetent wanna be fascist in the White House along with his alt-right nationalist team of advisors. It is pretty obvious the recent attacks on CNN are part of the Drumpf war room strategy. Bonifield's statements are his own opinion, nothing more, and probably cut/pasted out of context which is O'Keefe's modus operandus. All credible media outlets will be targets and the fake news and fringe right media will be the medium used to perpetrate their assault. @maddow #maddow #CNN #ABC #BBC #MSNBC #CBS #YahooNews #TimeWarner #NewsWeek #McClatchy #ReutersNews #ProPublica #Axios #Politico #NewYorkTimes #WSJ #WAPO

“FBI director James Comey confirmed in his televised hearing before the House Intelligence Committee that the bureau is, in fact, investigating the Trump campaign’s links to Russia and their collaboration on hijacking the election. While Comey didn’t open his briefcase and dump photos of Trump and Putin lurking in John Podesta’s coat closet, it’s pretty obvious the FBI had enough information to launch an investigation.”
It’s a damned good thing Maddow and a few others have a keen focus on the #TrumpRussia #KremlinConnection . The career criminal Republicans are doing everything they can to do absolutely nothing other than obstruct and try to detract from any impartial investigation. What do they have to hide, or lose? It’s no secret that Paul Ryan and several other Republicans won their seats in the 2016 election due in part to Ryan’s Super PAC running misleading campaigns on down ticket elections using Russian hacked and wikileaks information, the same thing they are doing in the Georgia 6th Congressional district right now with their usual Republican lies, duplicated by conservative and false news sites.

Trump And The GOP Have Failed – So Why Aren’t The Democrats Capitalizing Off This?
Published on Mar 23, 2017
The Democratic Party has been given every break in the world right now with the constant scandals erupting from the Trump administration and the overall failures of the GOP, but instead of capitalizing on these failures, they are trying to fundraise off of them. These people have learned nothing from their 2016 election losses.
@NancyPelosi @WhipHoyer @SenSchumer @SenWarren @SenFranken @RepSwalwell @RepAdamSchiff @RepCummings @maddow @Lawrence
Switchboards accross the Nation are lit up with Americans calling their Senators to reject Betsy DeVos for Education Secretary during confirmation hearings for the Trump cabinet.
Senators and staff have been swamped with #NoDeVos phone calls, emails, messages and Tweets. Some phone services have been overloaded and shut down. Many have just quit answering their phones. They are simply stressed to the MAX!
No fear, if you are stressed you can cure all that ails you with the Betsy DeVos endorsed brain washing, mind altering, brain-healthy fish dishes from the neurocorecenters, sure to be introduced and forced upon your children in a school near you. Billionaire DeVos, conspiracy theorists, chicken little and theocrats swear by this stuff’s effectiveness and they claim a 90% improvement rate for kids with ADHD. They don’t produce nor do they have any documented proof or studies to back this claim up, but they don’t need it because they have faith. And they have faith you will send them $2000 for their program.
What is wrong with creating jobs? Nothing. The Standing Rock Sioux offered many times to negotiate alternate routes for the pipeline so it would’t be running through their burial grounds and near their water sources. The pipeline company refused. If it was moved, it would take longer to finish, still create jobs, and for a longer period of time keeping workers working longer. Would it cost more? Sure, but I don’t think it will break the pipeline’s budget. Does Trump have a conflict of interest, interests in the pipeline or other companies related to it? Who knows for sure. Standing Rocks and Bonds What’s wrong with using American steel for the #DAPL ? Nothing. Trump should have used American made steel and aluminum in his building projects too.
