Folks don’t know that Rob Lowe is part of the Trump criminal orbit.

Rob Lowe is best friends w/Tom Barrack. Barrack is close friends w/@realDonaldTrump & chaired his Inaugural Committee. Lowe & Barrack own Colony Capital.

Which is under investigation 👇🏽

Here is some more reporting by @ProPublica on the Trump inauguration, Tom Barrack, and Colony Capital.

I’m curious to learn just how much Rob Lowe & Colony Capital profited off of access to the Trump administration.

I hope @RepAdamSchiff investigates...

SO: if you’re wondering why @RobLowe decided TODAY to finally be his racist, Trump-loving self publicly — it’s because the Feds are closing in on Barrack & Colony Capital.

Which likely means the Feds are closing in on Lowe. So he’s pulling a Trump: distract from crime w/scandal.

^ and perhaps Rob Lowe is angling for a pardon, by aggressively supporting Trump in public and tarnishing his own reputation.

Lowe is already rich AF. He doesn’t care. He just doesn’t want to go to prison.

Lowe has been working deals with Barrack and Colony Capital for a long time:

And here Lowe & Barrack are at some talk, discussing all the assets and companies Colony Capital owns.

There own a LOT. Like a lot a lot. When Barrack, Colony Capital, and perhaps even Lowe, go down, its gonna shock the public conscious.

One more thing I’ll add to this thread. Tom Barrack is in financial trouble...what does that mean for @realDonaldTrump?

Does that mean he’s going to be more likely to flip on Trump? Or is Barrack so deeply caught up w/the geopolitics that he has no play?

“Barrack also personally made a $1.5 million mortgage loan to the wife of Paul Manafort...”

“Nearly a quarter of the $7 billion Colony...has managed to raise for its investment funds since Trump...has come from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to the Times.”

While I don’t have the organizational records or the list of investors for Colony Capital, or the previous Colony NorthStar, the ties between Rob Lowe, Tom Barrack, Trump, and foreign governments are pretty wild.

Some folks are gonna get indicted & Lowe just might be one of ‘em.
