Lev Parnas brought the receipts over the lie Rudy Giuliani and his Republican buddies have been pushing about Victor Shokin, a former prosecutor for Ukraine, who world leaders wanted out of office because he was so corrupt. And Donald Trump has claimed that Joe Biden had pushed for Shokin's ouster because he was "prosecuting" the company where Hunter Biden sat on the board, Burisma. Unsurprisingly, that's not true. Shokin was not prosecuting Burisma.

And this whole time that Giuliani propped up this debunked story, he knew it was false. Giuliani is caught on video asking Shokin, "Was there ever any specific act that any of these people performed?"

"Did they get a kickback?" he asked. "Did they get a bribe"?

Shokin says no.

This means that Rudy knew and pushed the fake news story anyway to hurt President Biden while trying to help a man who is facing 91 felonies.

Devin Nunes, too:

When are these people going to be held accountable for their actions?
