Guiliani kept Parnas in his back pocket because he was afraid not to for the chance someone would speak to him and find out about the conspiracy. Guiliani and Trump hung their hats on Parnas as their frontman to carry out a conspiracy that would ensure the 2020 win.
I have questions that will never be answered in public, like, how much did Putin participate in the conspiracy? Basically, did Parnas receive pressure from Russia to perform or did he simply feel lucky to be a Republican in a position that was simply good luck?
What plans do Guiliani and Trump have after 2020 that would require a conspiracy to guarantee the win?

The materials also include a letter Giuliani wrote to Ukraine’s then-president-elect, Volodymyr Zelensky, requesting a May 14 meeting with the new leader in Giuliani’s “capacity as personal counsel to President Trump and with his knowledge and consent.” Giuliani scrapped his planned trip, and the meeting never took place....
...“All of this new evidence confirms what we already know: the President and his associates pressured Ukrainian officials to announce investigations that would benefit the President politically,” the chairs of the House Intelligence, Oversight, Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees said in a joint statement. “There cannot be a full and fair trial in the Senate without the documents that President Trump is refusing to provide to Congress.”
Giuliani did not respond to requests for comment. The White House declined to comment....
