Yep. Trump wanted his lawyers to set him up to take the fall, where he'd meet a poor fate.

(11,885 posts)1. I think he also knows more
Like Putin and trump having the mob watch the American Ambassador for them, and use to collect any dirt, or to scare her with, or hurt her if needed. How will republicans refuse to convict if that's exposed, or exposed after they refuse to convict trumps? Trump and especially Putin are very connected to the mob.

Lev Parnas revealed in a new interview Thursday that he agreed to speak out about President Trump's dealings with Ukraine because he felt betrayed by his former associates after being indicted.
Speaking with The Daily Beast, Parnas said he is levying new accusations and participating in interviews with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and CNN's Anderson Cooper in spite of backlash from Trump allies. He also said former associates did not defend him and were silent after he was arrested and indicted in October of last year on charges of violating campaign finance laws.
I felt like my family left me, he said. Knowing everything about me, knowing that this was probably a hit job, they all just clammed up."

Someone doesn't want us to believe Lev Parnas. I can only imagine why.

Once convicted, he'd disappear off the radar and then would accidentally and brutally stab himself in the stomach while shaving -or- accidentally and brutally cutting his head off while combing his hair!
