This is the healing this country needs. And it comes from a reformed Trump inner sanctum member and “small-time mafia operator” Lev Parnas and President Biden’s embattled son, Hunter Biden.

Rachel Maddow’s documentary film, "From Russia with Lev," is an examination of Lev Parnas' journey on the path to redemption.

There were bombshells, like Fox News being implicated in the scheme to bring down Hunter Biden to get President Joe Biden. Lev Parnas added later on Velshi that Russia stole Hunters laptop, with help from Devon Archer and the allegation that Trump’s handpicked Attorney General Bill Barr tried to hide it all. And OH YEAH, Lev Parnas told Velshi he has documentation, thanks to his wife’s insistence.

And there was an acceptance of what seemed to be a genuine apology by Lev to Hunter.

It’s reasonable to question Parnas given his past, but Maddow laid out on Velshi the consideration she gave to that question, weighing in his favor 1. He did an interview with her after he was indicted, “at great legal peril to himself” when it was against in his own interest to do so. 2. He has a record of all of the things he’s talking about, thousands of photos and documents in his iCloud and phone, and he gave Maddow and her producer Billy Corben access to all of it. She also cited his “genuine repentance.”

LEV PARNAS: “I want you to know I wrote this book to tell the truth about what happened during the Trump administration. He used your battle with addiction for his own agenda to hurt you and your family and your father. You are a casualty in all of this. I regret very truly my decision to work with those that try to bring you and your family down. I will do everything in my power to clear your name going forward.”

HUNTER BIDEN: Thank you, my friend. You know I'll treasure this. And one thing I've learned is that truth and love always prevail. May take a little while, but the fact of the matter is, we get up every day and we do the next right thing, we win. We get a second chance.

Parnas told Biden that Giuliani put pressure on his contacts at the FBI and DOJ to investigate Hunter, and that the Trump FBI secretly subpoenaed Hunter’s bank records and then handed them to John Solomon (who was at Fox News until some point in 2020) who then recirculated them back to the DOJ and Fox.
