Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman—now being prosecuted by SDNY, with the former having fingered Barr as a co-conspirator—had GOP access at the highest levels of the party, including Trump himself. Here they are with the grandson of the man John Bolton calls his "mentor" in his new book.
PS/ The access Parnas and Fruman had to Trump and to *every important figure* in the Republican Party—and keep in mind, these men were direct agents of Putin's right-hand man in Ukraine, Dmitry Firtash—is so astounding it can only be compared to one man: the late Jeffrey Epstein.
PS2/ That's the framing media should use.

Imagine if Epstein had told on *everyone* in his black book. Well, that's what Lev Parnas has done—and one of the people he incriminated was Bill Barr. And now Barr has fired the man who might've cut a deal with Parnas. {*head explodes*}
PS3/ Parnas knew, had access to, and gave money to *everyone* who matters in the Republican Party. And I showed the photo of him—and Fruman—with Adam Laxalt to underscore that if you think there's a Bolton-Trump GOP divide now, know this: Parnas was in with *everyone* in the GOP.
