Longtime Rudy Giuliani pals Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman lived a life of luxury while participating in one of the most audacious political extortion campaigns imaginable.
Which Of Giuliani’s Indicted Buddies Was The Brains Of The Operation?
Ummmm…neither of them?
The ugly one???
Oh…wait…
This is like asking which hamster is smartest.
Trick question. There were no brains in this operation.
Feels like a trick question…
It’s probably not Moose. I’ll go with Rocco.
Seriously, these guys look like mid-level Northern thugs from Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. I’m sure Jason Statham or Vinnie Jones will set them straight.
That’s not fair to hamsters.
I assume you are using the word loosely.
“Brains”
I mean this: just arrest Rudy and have him do a public perp walk like he did to so many during his SDNY tenure. I want jeering hedge fund guys to throw rotten tomatoes and potatoes at him. (I want this ‘even’ if it makes Jared Kushner and his papa happy. Oh I just remembered that was Chris Christie who arrested Kushner pere, but one glory-seeking fed prosecutor is much the same as another.)
My guess was “Firtash”.
Can we have the Feds “stop and frisk” Giuliani?
There is scant evidence to suggest that Parnas’s business — Fraud Guarantee — engaged in significant activity. It paid Giuliani $500,000 last year for cybersecurity consulting, but the reason why remains unclear.
I hope this gets chased right out to the last remaining thread that can be unraveled.
Get me moose and squirrel!
I was going to post the SAME, EXACT response!
Yup. There are a lot of great minds here at TPM! 
My theory (which is “mine and belongs to me, and I own it and what it is, too”) is that they share a brain. And that sometimes it is in transit.
Brains? I think the appropriate word is stains
So they just had access to millions of dollars to spend on politics and other influence-buying because . . . reasons.
Is it me or has Ghouliani been suspiciously quiet lately?? Has he got himself a lawyer who reminded him that every time he “helps”, that “help” is always for the prosecution???
