Pelosi’s Impeachment-signing pens

To expand on my previous post on this subject:

The timing of these Lev Parnas revelations ... and the Rachael Maddow interviews ... were obviously timed to coincide with the start of the impeachment trial in the Senate. So, one side of this duel obviously includes the lefty media. One can imagine Nancy Pelosi on the podium orchestrating her side of this Trump hanging like a nervous Toscanini ... and her audience is obviously not the Senators ... it is the American voters. Very sophisticated ... and conspiratorial. (Just heard that, on impeachment day, the “impartial” Congressional GAO declared that Trump’s hold on Ukraine aid for 55 days was illegal — another coordinated event?)

Would Lev Parnas lie? Of course, he is Ukrainian after all ... in tact, definitely! Would the lefty media mislead us about him? Have you noticed that he and Igor Fruman’s indictments reporting seldom mention the time of their alleged money laundering and improper political donations? March of 2018 ...well over a year before Zelensky was elected president of the Ukraine ... pledging to reform this country’s rampant corruption ... see: Indictments. These misdeeds also occurred well before these two reprobates were working with Giuliani ... again ignored by most of the media.

I think I will reluctantly watch the Rachael Maddow show tonight. Stay tuned ...
