Trump, Parnas, McCain, Blavatnik

Donald Trump (like some of his associates) has denied over and over again that he knows Lev Parnas or Igor Fruman. The problem is that he has been pictured over and over and over again with Parnas (there are even videos of them together): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...ether.html

See Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas (second and third from left) pictured with Vice President Mike Pence (who has likewise denied knowing them), President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani.


See Parnas with Ivanka and Jared Kushner.



Here’s a video of Donald Trump telling Lev Parnas and Fruman (who Trump claims he doesn’t know!) at a 2018 dinner to get rid of the US ambassador to the Ukraine (starting at 1:17): "Get rid of her!
Get her out tomorrow. I don't care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. Okay? Do it."
Trump also talks about his reasons for getting rid of this ambassador (starting 5:13), before the release of the previous dinner tape.

Another strange link, is that John Dowd represented Arizona Senator John McCain during the Senate “Investigation” of the Keating Five in 1990 and 1991.
Cindy McCain's defense team, led by Dowd, secured an agreement with the U.S. Attorney's office over her drug abuse.

In the so-called “Iran–Contra affair”, Dowd represented Robert C. Dutton, an associate to Major General Richard Secord, who oversaw the contra cocaine-for-arms pipeline.

From June 2017 to March 2018, Dowd was a legal advisor to President Donald Trump.
President Donald gave Dowd permission to represent Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.

On 9 October 2019, Fruman and Parnas were arrested and indicted for funneling foreign money into U.S. elections. The following month, Parnas severed ties with Dowd, when he prepared to comply with requests for record and testimony in the impeachment charade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._Dowd


What is it about Alexandria in Virginia?!? John McCain lived there with his first wife Carol.
After he divorced Carol, and McCain was elected to US Congress, McCain and second wife Cindy (daughter of James Hensley) moved to Alexandria in 1981.

In 1977, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral James Holloway selected John McCain as the Navy’s liaison to the U.S. Senate for the Office of Legislative Affairs.
McCain became friends there with young senators from the Democrook-Republicon party, including Gary Hart, Bill Cohen, and Joe Biden. He also escorted Senate delegations on overseas trips, earning “respect” of senior members of the Armed Services Committee, like Barry Goldwater, Jacob Javits and, Henry “Scoop” Jackson. John Tower would become McCain’s friend and mentor.

When McCain was running to get Obama elected president, he wanted to ask his friend Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman as vice presidential candidate. But after advise by his team, McCain turned to the little-known Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin: https://www.johnmccain.com/story/

At the request of Sen. John Tower, former Arizona governor and senator Paul Fannin, endorsed McCain’s campaign for US Congress.

In another one of those strange coincidences, John McCain’s first wife, Carol, worked as a personal aide to Nancy Reagan in the 1980 presidential campaign and later ran Reagan’s White House Visitors Office: https://eu.azcentral.com/story/news/poli...538674001/

According to Kemper Marley’s public relations man, Al Lizanetz, the Marley liquor empire was founded by the Bronfman family which operated the Seagrams, Ltd. empire (Allied Finance Company, Northern Export Company and Distillers Corporation).
In 2000, James Hensley (Cindy’s father) still controlled the Budweiser distributorship valued at $200 million-a-year, with annual sales of more than 20 million cases of beer. Budweiser held the No. 2 spot on John McCain’s all-time career list of corporate donors.
In 2000, Cindy Hensley McCain held a 37% stake in the Budweiser distributorship, with their 4 children holding a combined 23.6% stake through a trust.

In 2001, John McCain co-founded the Reform Institute in Alexandria that received funding from none other than George Soros.

In 2000 and 2008, Rick Davis was campaign manager for McCain’s presidential campaigns. He also took a $120,000 a year salary when he became president of the Reform Institute in 2004 and, with Paul Manafort, managed the Davis, Manafort & Freeman lobby firm in Alexandria that was housed in the same building as the Reform Institute..

Paul Manafort of course later became Trump’s campaign manager, while Davis continued to work on his campaign after Manafort was forced to resign after it emerged that he had illegally received millions of dollars from the Ukraine: http://archive.is/6RoOW


Steve Mnuchin’s business partner, Chabad-Lubavitcher, “Sir” Len Blavatnik contributed $200,000 to the Arizona Grassroots Action PAC, of Sen. John McCain, through Access Industries.
Mitch McConnell was the top recipient of Blavatnik's donations, with $2.5 million for his GOP Senate Leadership Fund through Blavatnik's holding companies Access Industries and AI Altep Holdings.

Blavatnik’s Access Industries has donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.
The Russian-born Blavatnik has also paid Trump’s legal bills for the Russia-collision charade: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/9/...mp-s-Bills
