In a series of letters, Igor Fruman accused Parnas and his attorney Joe Bondy of giving away information potentially protected by Fruman’s attorney-client privilege to Congress.
Good luck with your request to “take back” the documents. That bullet is already hundreds of years down range and has embedded itself in the target.
Perhaps he should demand that Congress “unsee” the documents.
Idiot.
Dearest Lev:
Please be taking toothpaste and putting back in tube.
Kindest regards.
Igor
Parnas seems to.have reached the same conclusion about his prospects.
No take backs here Igor. Or is it Eye-gor?
Does this mean Fruman was not the source of that leaked videotape of Trump with his donors talking about, among other things, taking out Yovanovitch or is this all just a game?
Fruman has remained silent. He has kept Blanche as his attorney, who also represents Paul Manafort in New York.
I sense yet another Joint Defense Agreement. How many other mooks in that JDA?
What hump?
If a bell falls in a forest, Is it still a bell?
Cat. Bag.
Water. Bridge.
Horse. Barn door.
It’s that sort of situation, right?
Trying to shove the shit back in the horse.
Trump, Fruman and Giuliani birds of a feather.
So IANAL, but Parnas has been doing this negotiation thing with SDNY and the judge for months now, SDNY has seen all that material as well. Wouldn’t any claims of privilege have properly been raised at some point either before SDNY started combing through it, or at the latest when Parnas was asking the judge for permission to turn it over? It’s not as if those proceedings were secret.
I’m guessing that Fruman did not know that Parnas was sharing what he considered his recording. He’s sharing Manafort’s lawyer and they might have told him to get control of it. But we already know they’re not the best lawyers and Fruman might not be all that bright either if he’s trusting them. There is so much underhanded stuff going on I don’t blame Parnas for looking for an off ramp where ever he can find it.
“How dare you Lev! That was mine!”
OTOH… his comedic timing is spot on.
To Quote a wise man, I say to Fruman… “Proceed”
The simple fact a recording of this type was made with so many shifty characters in the presence of the president shows what an easy mark Trump is.
There is no way there isn’t worse out there being held over his head for favors in the present.
That is reason enough for removal.
I have a crisp Benjamin Franklin that says he couldn’t tell you what “I” and “Q” stand for.
Got it. Thanks.
Don’t get carried away here. Cadwalader is one of the oldest, most prestigious law frims (read expensive) in the country. They are excellent, smart lawyers who know exactly what they are doing. Here, the problem for Igor is that his Cadwalader lawyers understand that they are representing a fall guy who has a bunch of money from which they can separate him while he is doing the falling. Hey, Igor! Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you. Perhaps it does not translate into Russian.
