Rudy and the Chuckle Fucks V 2.0

Lev Parnas And His Badass Weed Lawyer Dropping Fire Mixtapes Like POW!

SO we heard about Rudy and his Chuckle Fucks prancing around Ukrain, but WHY?

Well it seems they were selling gas, or would have if the plot had worked!

The newest chucklefuck mixtape has dropped, and it is FIRE! Recorded live at an April 30, 2018, event for donors to Trump's America First Action PAC by Igor Fruman, the "Silent Bob" of the Chucklefuck Gang, this tape's got everything. There are donors proposing legislation to benefit their own businesses that was shortly thereafter championed by House Republicans. There's a whole lot of golf talk, including speculation about Kim Jong Un's mean game. But it's Donald Trump's order to fire ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch that's getting the most airtime.

TRUMP: Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it.

Because it's totally normal for the president of the United States to fire career civil servants based on the unsubstantiated, self-serving allegations of some dipshit at a PAC dinner, right? Particularly when that dipshit admits that he's got a financial stake in the very change he's advocating.

Well, actually, we do know -- or at least have enough info to make an educated guess. Because Lev and Igor were in hock for $10 million to Roman Nasirov, then the head of Ukraine's tax service, who'd fronted them the cash for their American business efforts. Which seems like a lot of coin for a humble public servant to have lying around, right? In 2017, Ukraine's special anti-corruption prosecutors office, NABU, launched an investigation to determine whether Nasirov stole €70 million in tax payments. And Yovanovitch was widely despised by Ukraine's corrupt political elite for protecting NABU and holding the Ukrainian government's feet to the fire on its endemic corruption problem. That's also why Yuriy Lutsenko, the prosecutor general whose name keeps popping up in this story, was desperate to get Yovanovitch ousted.

Moreover, Parnas and Fruman had partnered up in 2018 with Harry Sargeant III, a GOP megadonor who owns an international shipping company. Parnas and Fruman weren't "in the process of purchasing an energy company in Ukraine right now that should cut off Russia." According to the AP, they were in the process of trying to take over the board of Ukraine's state-owned oil company Naftogaz. In March of 2018, the three of them approached Naftogaz board member Andrew Favorov at an energy conference in Texas and told him they were going to get rid of the company's CEO and put him -- that is, Favorov -- in charge.

Yes Virginia, the PeeResident is too stupid to know that what he did was WRONG, it was "just biddness" to him.

Les and Co were trying to sell 100 tankers of CNG a year to Ukraine and not cheaply.

Question is how big was Rudy and Donnie's cut?

Something Trumpettes simply can't seem to understand. A president can remove an ambassador from his/her post (but Trump wouldn't carry through on this with Yovanovitch from some weakness on his part until, like the sixth time), and a president can remove a political appointee from an ambassadorship and fire them from employment, but a president cannot summarily fire from employment a tenured (it takes about three years from the beginning of employment to get tenure in the federal system) career civil servant. He can't fire Yovanovitch from federal service just at his whim.

Not that that matters here. Trump didn't have the balls or brains to actually get her out of her job for the first five times he said he wanted it done. He's amazing. He goes through these convoluted hoops to hide from having made a decision he knows is illegal/corrupt/and/or/unethical but then he opens his mouth and confesses to everything. Tsk, tsk.

From the jist of the info, it seems that Les and Igor were hustling gas for a Russian Mob Boss who was playing both sides in Ukraine between NafzGaz and Berisma. So when the Ambassador was in their way they lured Rudy which drew in the PeeResidet to get the Ambassador removed for someone 'compliant.

So it was Russian inspired criminality that suckered our Highest Wisdom into a scheme to fuck with our elections!

Putin giveth, and Putin taketh away. Commissar is pleased no matter how Trump ends up.
