Manhattan federal prosecutors asked a judge late Wednesday to revoke Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas’ bail package and detain him pending trial. The unexpected move came after Parnas allegedly lied to the government and to his pretrial services officer about the extent of his financial assets and about whether a judge had already approved a change in the conditions of his release.
No doubt he is a flight risk. He should have an ankle monitor too.
I think he does have a ankle monitor.
All that Russian money he didn’t disclose. Quelle surprise. Don’t know why he’s out on home detention given the type of work he does.
All roads lead to Russia/Putin.
Alright, I’ll say it: "Lock Him Up!"
September 2019 deposit of $1 million into a Parnas-linked bank account from a bank account in Russia
It could be rudy’s paycheck for all the hard work he has been doing over the last few weeks.
He is working for somebody way more sinister than trump.
mmmmm any guesses?
I’ve only heard that statement uttered once. [ETA: by Nancy Pelosi] That should be at the top of the list of Dem talking points…if they had one.
Any ideas who the Foreign National - 1 is? Russian is all that seems known.
He is on home detention. That’s what he is trying to get modified on his bail terms. By asking for the modification, however, he has prompted the SDNY to ask the judge to revoke his bail entirely. Oops.
Yes, I just linked to the New York Post. Thank you Google.
ETA: Sorry @AM_PM, I misread your post as “not on home detention” instead of “out on home detention.”
The plot thickens…
So on the strength of that Russian deposit they want to incarcerate him? Where do they want to put him? The MCC?
I’m just waiting - we all know the day will come - when Moron has to turn on Rudy. Because Rudy DOES have insurance, of course, a shitload of it.
I will again ask what kind of game this dude is playing at? His lawyers are taunting Giuliani and Nunes about what he knows and what they can prove, yet he is hiding many actions and payments from the Feds who are prosecuting him. If you just assume that any chaos Putin can create in the US is a win for Putin, you have your answers - and (you stoopid fugging Rubes) why it is a bad idea to have a US President working for your country’s arch enemy.
It is not only that. He lied about his assets and was able to afford $70,000 in travel in the month of Sept. He is a flight risk.
Yes no doubt, Rudy is up to his arched eyebrows in some very dangerous games. What a fugging idiot he ever was to throw his lot in with Chump, AND to start playing dicey games with Putin et al.
Also, he doesn’t seem too worried, unlike his orange pal. I’m sure he’s counting on a pardon if things get dicey but he, of all people, should know better.
I also hadn’t seen that that money had landed a month before he was charged.
What is weird to me is that he and his wife managed to get themselves evicted with this type of money running around.
