Do any of these photos actually show them sitting down "meeting"?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Someone says to my boss: We should do X
My boss to me: Can you take the lead on that?
What I said was that the paragraph does not demand that he spoke to Trump. Surely you can see that. Parnas worked for Rudy who worked for Trump. It wasn't a meeting among equals.
The topic was supposedly what he wanted Parnas to do...sorry, your argument seems far fetched at best. It seems clear that Parnas claimed at one time to have met privately with the President and Guiliani, only later to claim he had not.
Eventually, according to what Parnas told his confidants, the topic turned to Ukraine that night," the article continued. "According to those two confidants, Parnas said that 'the big guy,' as he sometimes referred to the President in conversation, talked about tasking him and Fruman with what Parnas described as 'a secret mission' to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter."
It doesn't read "the Resident tasked Parnas with" or "the Resident asked Parnas to go on a secret mission." In fact now that I reread the paragraph it doesn't even sound like the decision to go to Ukraine was finalized in that meeting, merely that the possibility of doing so was discussed.
Again, no PAS, just saying that before we can claim, with certainty, that Parnas's story has changed we need to know with certainty what his story was in the first place.

Do any of these photos actually show them sitting down "meeting"?

Photo-ops would take place before or after any private meeting.
Not saying they did have discussions, just that they've been together at numerous events, so it's not unlikely that they did..
I'll allow you to speculate further on this without me.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
