Protests, Parnas and partisanship make for a uniquely chaotic day in Washington by alexnazaryan
WASHINGTON — Wednesday was the 1,114th day of the Trump presidency but also one of those that stand apart from all the other days because every moment is seemingly marked with a thermonuclear explosion of breaking news. The signing of a North American free trade agreement and a new proposal for a Middle East peace plan — both of which were announced Wednesday — would have been watershed events in any other administration.
With his 7:28 a.m. tweet, Trump blasted Bolton for his “mistakes of judgement,” adding that “if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now.” One was left to wonder, naturally enough, what had happened to World Wars Three through Five, but things do move quickly these days, especially in the space-time continuum of alternative facts.
Last fall, Parnas and another Giuliani associate, Igor Fruman, were arrested at Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C., for campaign-finance violations. Parnas then promptly hired Bondy, whose specialty is cannabis. And with the help of his new attorney, Parnas developed something resembling a conscience, or at least the appearance of one.
Parnas and Bondy made their way to the office of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who had provided Parnas with tickets to watch the impeachment trial in the Senate gallery. The protesters filled Hart’s vast marble atrium, just as they had during the days of the Kavanaugh confirmation battle. Some wore T-shirts that said “Trump Is Guilty.” All wanted Bolton and other key figures in the alleged Ukraine pressure campaign to testify. Whether they do so is up to the senators, many of whom have offices looking down into that very same Hart floor. They will vote on the witness question most likely on Friday.
