Lev Parnas, 49, a former business associate of Rudy Giuliani, was indicted in 2019 on charges that included violating a ban on foreign donations in elections, falsifying statements and documents, among other charges. He and co-defendant Andrey Kukushkin were found guilty on all counts.
"In order to gain influence with American politicians and candidates, they illegally funneled foreign money into the 2018 midterm elections with an eye toward making huge profits in the cannabis business," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement after the verdict. "Campaign finance laws are designed to protect the integrity of our free and fair elections – unencumbered by foreign interests or influence – and safeguarding those laws is essential to preserving the freedoms that Americans hold sacred."
Jurors deliberated for about 5 hours total before rendering a verdict and Parnas' wife arrived minutes before the verdict was read. There was no reaction from Parnas but Kukushkin disapprovingly shook his head when his verdict was read. Kukushkin's sentencing is set for February 16, Parnas sentencing date is still to be determined.

The Clinton campaign openly took in billions from foreign governments and we hear crickets
This guy no one ever heard of gets jailed because he has ties to Giuliani.
So much for equal protection under the law
....AND the BILLION and a Half Dollars that was given to the Biden family by the Chinese regime?????
Lolol. A US Attorney said this.
Who’s campaigns were the donations made to?
good question!
I would guess at least 75% of those involved in Politics could be easily convicted of the same.
I believe a third grade classmate of Biden was convicted of child molestation as an adult. Just a rumor.
That sounds irrelevant to the story. #FakeNewsCBS
That tidbit central to any crime is as visible as fairy farts! Why bother with journalism whatsoever if our only source of first hand information happens to be press releases by the bureaucracy within the Beltway?
“Our fake ‘elections’ are freenfair!!”, quoth the prosecutor stooge.
Yeah. A file clerk at a law firm once brought coffee to Giuliani’s secretary to serve to Rudy. He’s a “business associate”.
Obama took in unknown amounts from foreign and anonymous sources, on purpose, and nothing was done, as the FEC (IIRC) said it would not have changed the outcome of the election...
That’s about the size of this “news.”
Out of curiosity only, because it doesn’t really matter, I wonder how long ago Parnas was a “Giuliani associate?” A year? A decade? Three or four decades?
Over the past half century many thousands of people have had professional “associations” with him.
The media is a domestic enemy. I say that without hyperbole or apology.
Going back to Clinton, the big mistake here was not taking
money from China. Where had this guy been. He didn’t know?
You can never link CBS and the words “the truth”!!!
Lev Parnas was not an “associate” of Giuliani— he was a SOURCE on the JoeBama CORRUPT threat to Pres. Poroshenko of Ukraine to fire the Burisma prosecutor (looking into his crackhead son Hunter’s biz on their BOARD?!!! for what other than kickback $$).
The entire downline payout list of Burisma and the Ukrainian NGO kick back scheme setup by Trump fired ambassador Voyonovych-— is exposed by Giuliani, so natch they go after Lev Parnas (who is a low life but a REAL verified source on all the scum dems raking money out of the Ukraine).
funny, anyone looking into any of the rats including the Clintons and the bidens, thought so
