Less than 12 hours after the White House announced President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial defense team, new questions have emerged about connections between some of his lawyers and figures at the center of the Ukraine investigation.

A document dump from the House Judiciary Committee overnight Friday included more information about Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas, who is currently under federal indictment for his alleged role in the political pressure campaign in Ukraine.

As the Epstein case shows, if you have information against powerful figures, you can end up dead. If Epstein did not commit suicide, and there is doubt, enquiring minds would like to know who gave the order for his death. The US government has turned into the mob underworld!

Being next to power is not power.

You find out how easily you are expendable.

just shows that they know this 'trial' will be a sham and dismissal of ALL charges past, present and future shall be the outcome. We have an Al Capone clone for a POTUS, so they are just spitting in all of our faces. And laughig loudly behind closed doors.

Such a future will not bold well for Trump and his ilk. To which I say "I really don't care, do you?"
