As we discovered a few hours ago, in breaking news — there are recordings, of Rudy and Donnie, and presumably Lev, since he was in possession of this hard evidence.
Report: Lev Parnas Handed Over Tapes of Trump and Giuliani to the House Intelligence Committee
Lordy, there are tapes
The bottomless pit that is the Ukraine scandal continues to grow. According to a report from ABC News on Sunday, the House Intelligence Committee is now in possession of audio and video recordings as well as photographs that include both President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani. The materials were handed over as part of a congressional subpoena by Giuliani associate Lev Parnas.
ABC News reported it is unknown what is said on the recordings, and the attorney for Parnas, Joseph A. Bondy, would not comment on the matter. Instead, Bondy directed ABC News to an earlier statement from Sunday that read in part, “Mr. Parnas has vociferously and publicly asserted his wish to comply with his previously issued subpoena and to provide the House Intelligence Committee with truthful and important information that is in furtherance of justice, not to obstruct it.”
[...]
As we also learned in the ABC News story Lev Parnas played an important role in the Trump-Rudy Ukrainian operation, since he knew the players there, and could arrange meetings and so forth (as Devin Nunes knows too):
[Parnas] who reportedly played a key role in assisting him in his efforts to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and Ukraine, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
Well just what might be on those Trump-Giuliani Tapes, that Lev Parnas managed to capture?
Well, if Parnas’ prior statements are any guide, those recordings just might be the smoking gun marching orders for the entire Ukraine extortion plot:
During the [White House] party, Parnas and Fruman slipped out for a private meeting with Trump and Giuliani, two acquaintances who Parnas confided in told CNN. Parnas allegedly told his confidants after the meeting that the “big guy,” which is how he purportedly referred to the president, had assigned him and Fruman a “secret mission” to pressure Ukraine into investigating Biden and his son Hunter.
Parnas and Fruman were reportedly assigned to be Giuliani’s operatives on the ground in Ukraine. Parnas allegedly described it to at least one associate as a sort of “James Bond mission.”
"Parnas viewed the assignment as a great crusade," one of his confidants told CNN. "He believed he was doing the right thing for Trump."

What better way to get a recording on the sly, than at a White House party, when all the players had their guard down. And their drinks hoisted.
As eager as Lev was to be “doing the secret work of the President” — you could hardly blame him, if he wanted an “insurance policy” of his own (as Rudy puts it).
So the guy just hit “record” as he “slipped out for a private meeting with Trump and Giuliani ...”
.
.
.
What better time, would he possibly get — to prevent them from setting him up as the “fall guy”, if their shady mission all went south someday. As it currently now has, in spades.
...
Hypothetically, speaking of course. Given the White House phobia for Transparency.

PS. Parnas’ secret mission, which he obviously accepted, was:
“to pressure Ukraine into investigating Biden and his son Hunter.”
I hope to all that still “right and just”
left in the world, that he managed to get that “
presidential assignment” — on tape too.
Let’s see the presidential pretense-players — make Hearsay of that!
