NEW YORK, NY - OCTOBER 23: Lev Parnas reads a brief statement to the press as he exits federal court following an arraignment hearing on October 23, 2019 in New York City. Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, along with Andrey Kukushkin and David Correia, are associates of Rudy Giuliani who have been arrested for allegedly conspiring to circumvent federal campaign finance laws in schemes to funnel foreign money to U.S. candidates running for office at the federal and state levels.

(CNN) A lawyer for an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani tells CNN that his client is willing to tell Congress about meetings the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee had in Vienna last year with a former Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss digging up dirt on Joe Biden.

The attorney, Joseph A. Bondy, represents Lev Parnas, the recently indicted Soviet-born American who worked with Giuliani to push claims of Democratic corruption in Ukraine. Bondy said that Parnas was told directly by the former Ukrainian official that he met last year in Vienna with Rep. Devin Nunes.

"Mr. Parnas learned from former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin that Nunes had met with Shokin in Vienna last December," said Bondy.

Very interesting news dump on a Friday night.

My e-mail of moments ago with Mike Davis, Chief Counsel for Nominations for U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary. We demand that this process be thorough, open and fair, which is what the American public deserves. It must not be rushed and evidence/witnesses must not be hidden. pic.twitter.com/11XLZJBTtY

New tweet by Avenatti — This is insane if true:

From his e-mail to Mike Davis: “We are aware of significant evidence of multiple house parties in the Washington D.C. area during the early 1980s which Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge and others would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs in order to allow a “train” of men to subsequently gang rape them...”

Another Chicago insider joins the Obama team at the White House. Look for Obama's course to be changed, not toward the base as we approach the 2012 election, but further toward the center.

Rachel Maddow, on tonight's show, laid open the bare and blatant lying coming from four Republican senators over the issue of reconciliation.

She uses an Op-Ed in today's Washington Post, written by Orrin Hatch, as prima facie evidence for her judgement.

WaPo

This use of reconciliation to jam through this legislation, against the will of the American people, would be unprecedented in scope. And the havoc wrought would threaten our system of checks and balances, corrode the legislative process, degrade our system of government and damage the prospects of bipartisanship.

Hatch lied.

The Senate is set to begin debating the Nelson-Hatch amendment presently. Ben Nelson (D-Neb), in full nutter mode, is introducing legislation into the Senate Health Care bill that would essentially parallel the House's amendment offered by Stupak-Pitts.

From CBS:

Sen. Ben Nelson, a conservative Democrat from Nebraska, intends to introduce an amendment to the Senate health care bill that would add controversial abortion language similar to the Stupak amendment in the House bill, CBS News Capitol Hill Producer John Nolen reports.

"I'm working on an amendment to bring Stupak language to the bill," Nelson said today, referencing an amendment added to the House health care bill by Reps. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and Joe Pitts (R-Penn.).

The amendment restricts health insurance coverage for abortion and has raised the ire of abortion rights groups. A coalition of those groups are launching a "day of action" on Wednesday to lobby against the amendment.

Debate started around 9:00 AM EST and will continue until a cloture vote which Reid has scheduled for 8:00 PM EST. Watch online at C-SPAN2.

Both Mary Landrieu and Blanche Lincoln say they'll vote for cloture, which means Reid has his 60, barring any unforeseen complications.

Today, in a stunning and deeply ignorant speech, LDS apostle Dallin H. Oaks commented that the Proposition 8 backlash in California and around the country could be compared to the fight southern African Americans faced during the civil rights battle.

From the Associated Press.

The anti-Mormon backlash after California voters overturned gay marriage last fall is similar to the intimidation of Southern blacks during the civil rights movement, a high-ranking Mormon said Tuesday.

So, let me get this straight. Mormons are now like blacks during the civil rights movement because they wanted to take away the rights of other people?

Follow me over the fold and down the rabbit hole.

Well, today the Massachusetts Senate moved the country one step closer to getting real and substantial health care reform.

In a 24-16 vote, the Senate agreed with the House to give Governor Patrick the power to fill Kennedy's seat until a special election is held.

The legislation now goes to committee, after which it will be voted on in both chambers. And as the Globe story points out, Patrick could be signing this as early as Wednesday.

I've just returned from the Albuquerque rally, and am still LMAO that the organizers decided to hold the event in front of the Spin Cycle Laundromat.

Follow me across the fold for some disturbing, and amusing, imagery.

This diary is for all those hoping to attend Senator Barack Obama's rally here in Albuquerque on Saturday night. First, it's obviously exciting to have Senator Obama coming here with only just over a week to go before election day, and even more so that he is holding his rally with Bill Richardson and...

There will be some star power at Saturday's rally for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

His campaign announced today that actor and comedian George Lopez will attend the rally planned for Saturday evening at Johnson Field on the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque.

The rally will be held at Johnson field, which, by the look of it this morning, is ready to hold tens of thousands of people.

I'll post some pictures and directions below the fold.

Liz Forgan is the current chair of Scott Trust. Scott Trust?

The Trust is responsible for appointing the editor of The Guardian (and those of the group's other main newspapers) but apart from enjoining them to continue the paper's editorial policy on "the same lines and in the same spirit as heretofore", has a policy of not interfering in their decisions.
