Manhattan federal prosecutors executed search warrants on three Ukrainians in their investigation into Rudy Giuliani, botched redactions in a court filing reveal.
Bondy has argued that Parnas is a victim of selective prosecution by the Trump DOJ, and named a list of people who he believed would appear in evidence gathered from the warrants.
Those include, beyond Giuliani and Victoria Toensing, “the former President, former Attorney General William P. Barr, high-level members of the Justice Department, Presidential impeachment attorneys Jay Sekulow, Jane Raskin and others, Senator Lindsey Graham, Congressman Devin Nunes and others.”

I know this is regarding a different criminal matter, but is an indication of why no Republican currently in office should be allowed to participate in any way, shape, or form with any investigation of 1/6. We can’t know who among them was involved nor the extent of that involvement at this time.

So it seems like Parnas kept his receipts. That’s the difference between committed lackeys (Gates to Manafort) and self-interested “businessmen” (Parnas to Giuliani). Gates used and deleted encrypted messaging to help obscure what they were doing, but Parnas likely kept them in his back pocket in case things went awry. He understood the cost of doing business and what insurance could buy him.
