Because they were brokered the meeting with shokins successor, that was subsequently memorialized with transcripts & videotape.
Nothing in the indictment has anything to do with that, their dealings with giuliani (who isnt even mentioned) etc. Its all about the use of an llc to alegedly conceal 325k in campaign contributions. Apparently they wanted to get into the recteational marijuana business or something.
This is classic. Find someone tangential to the events at hand, arrest them for something unrelated and u get inuendo plus distraction and the added bonus of sticking them in solitary confinement for their "protection" until they
agree to say whatever u want make their court appearance.
jj, I am aware that you are waiting for Trump to comment on this matter.
As for me, I will stay tuned to the upcoming press conference for further details...
Maybe we should ask ourselves,
Is this the dirt that Trump withheld the aid for?

Because the truth is devastating to his position.

And now you start to see why Trump did not tell Barr that he was going to make the phone call, and why Trump was sure to mention Giuliani as equal to Barr while on the phone with Ukraine's President.
The various prosecutors who report to Barr are free to form their own opinion about who should be arrested or indicted; the less Barr knows about Trump's political schemes the better. this is why we can be sure that the whole phone call is in the category of "political scheme" rather than "legitimate investigation into a question of US law"
A federal law enforcement source told Fox News that Parnas and Fruman were arrested Wednesday at Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Attorney General Bill Barr has been "aware and supportive" of SDNY officials and knew that both men would be arrested and charged Wednesday, a senior Justice Department official told Fox News.
Read my post, then read your post.
No conflict between them.
To reiterate:
Trump and Rudy are unethically trying to get Ukraine's leaders to give them dirt on Biden.
Trump mentioned Barr to make his request sound legit, but really Barr is not involved and not intended to be involved.
Because
Barr's people actually make arrests when they see violations of the law
And because
Barr's guys only look where the probable cause and the evidence leads them
And because
Barr's guys are only trying to enforce the law, not settle scores
But mainly because
Rudy's contacts are super corrupt and Rudy knows it.
Rep. Adam Smith Discusses The Trump Administration's Involvement With Aid To Ukraine
https://www.npr.org/2019/10/03/766926961...d-to-ukrai
For the sake of full disclosure, this interview is the "oranges" of the argument that the information is second and third hand.
No need to point this out to me.
It is a fairly damning interview, however.
jj, the fact that Trump withheld the money is not a lie.
The released document on a portion of the phone call with the Ukrainian President is a first hand account which appears to confirm these fears.
To set the record straight, I have no predetermined "position".
It appears that things are beginning to come into focus for us all.
Regards.

More conjecture. Giuliani cobducted his investigation into ukraine in his capacity as Trumps personal attorney during the Mueller Probe & well before joe biden declared himself a candidate. Prior to that point he turned over his information to the state department inspector general. He didnt have to do it. The sworn statements from shokin and the prosecutorial notes that corroberate the his accout of the active status of the burisma investogation are all the "DIRT" u need if your motives are purely political.
Not to mention whispers of this story have been in open source reporting. I just watched a video of peter scweitzer from march of this year laying out the entire timeline. John solomon already had access to shokin. Ukraine ALREADY STARTED THE INVESTIGATION THEMSELVES 4 months prior to the phone call.
This story was coming out. What your watching now is a televised abortion of the biden campaign. This story is too damaging for him to be a viable general election candidate. The left wants to push him aside and inflict maximum damage on the trump reelection bid in the process.
U can dance all u want. U still habe neber attempted to make the argument that the pattern of facts regarding bidens behavior warrant investigation. And u still refuse to acknowledge the timeline of a "quid pro quo" has been destroyed.
jj, by open source reporting, you mean blog.

Volker may not have told them, but he has no idea if they knew or not.
You have no idea what I know, and I have no idea what you know.
Whether or not Volker's testimony is truthful, you are not characterizing it correctly.
Volker provided the House with 60 pages of text messages and other documents that showed some senior State Department officials were outraged that the Trump administration would try to make aid to Ukraine contingent on efforts to help the president’s re-election campaign.

The House inquiry is proving more and more that the "interpretation" of the "transcript" is correct and verifiable.
Although all of us react differently, the events that are unfolding are both sad and unnerving to us all.
