... and Rudy was Trumps attorney.

The reasoning was bunk and I think it was Dowds visit to Lev in jail that alarmed Lev that this was not good for him.

Rudy is claiming attorney client also

The excuses are so flimsy though.
I'm glad RM got Lev on record now (along with Lev's many documents to back him up) and it's being used now as evidence.
Maybe this will be a trial.

Trump "loaned" his attorney, John Dowd, to Lev and Igor when they were captured, for a short time.

Lev now has a new attorney.

But, if they did not know Parnas, why would they appoint John Dowd as his lawyer?

There is a lot we don't know.

I just don't get how subpoenas can be ignored without consequence.

As I understand it.

Adam and Nancy had to work with the hand they were dealt and they still scored big.

I'm in awe at how it all played out. Nancy is amazing.

... clock to not being impeached and that includes rigging elections with interference from other countries and keeping state and local electoral systems wide open to attack ... pretty much what Red Don is doing now.

I don't believe for a second Moscow Mitch would allow witness's even if they were subpoena'd by the courts, they'd have another excuse to keep people like Mulvaney from testifying.

I don't get how Mitch can run the entire thing when he's obviously on Trump's side. It's like going to court and the judge is the father of the defendant. It just shouldn't be allowed.

Rethugs control the Senate right now, so they set the rules. Unless 4 senators find some backbone, no witnesses will be allowed.

... instead of doing the right thing and making sure the trial is ran like something close to a trial.

The relevant materials needed judicial clearance that wasn't available until a few days ago.
