Parnas said he is speaking out because he is afraid of William Barr

Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas said he was giving media interviews about his role in President Trump’s attempts to convince Ukrainian officials to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden because he wanted to protect himself from Attorney General William Barr.

Parnas made that claim in an interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, the second part of which aired Thursday night.

Trump, Parnas said, was made more powerful “when he got William Barr.”

“They're trying to scare me into not talking,” Parnas said of officials in the Justice Department, adding that “My wife is scared. My kids are nervous.

Does that mean that Barr is essentially the DOJ now? How do we solve this problem before the next election?

But speaking out publicly is probably the best protection... for now.

Later, once the media has drifted away, if the gangsters still run the country, there could be a payback.
