How Ukrainian Oligarch Used Trump Impeachment To Dodge Extradition Charges

While the fate of Mr. Donald Trump has finally been decided, a lawyer of a Ukrainian the oligarch has finally disclosed how used the services of Lev Parnas, an associate of U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Parnas and his wife were utilized to purchase a Florida home at the cost of $1 million. 

Ralph Isenegger had done the deal on behalf of the wealthy Ukrainian businessman Dmytro Firtash. An interest-bearing loan was used for this personal transaction but what has been jarring with the US prosecutors is the fact that the news of this transaction was withheld at the time of interrogation.

The loan was given in four installments deposited in Parnas’ wife’s bank account and was requested to kept confidential. This is another discrepancy owing to the fact that Parnas’ wife does not have any means of employment and such a big loan without any assets does not make sense.

Firtash is apparently fighting extradition by U.S. authorities on bribery charges from Vienna, where he has lived for five years. He is known to have notoriously collected vital evidence to support Trump’s defense in the impeachment proceedings, looking like a desperate move to save his face with the US authorities.

Firtash’s lawyers are known to have gathered documents that make controversial allegations against former special counsel Robert Mueller and former Vice President Joe Biden. Firtash’s lawyers have passed these documents and other information to associates of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

While Giuliani has continued to deny any wrongdoing with his relations with Ukrainian counterparts, his previous connects are spilling the beans one after the other. 

The United States President has been impeached but the Republicans are at the helm await a strike back at the formal hearing. Looking at a public poll tilt towards sacking the President. Time will tell but the Democrats would want everything to be done and over with before Trump enters the 2020 US Election proceedings.
