NEW: Cindy Yang, the founder of the Florida spa where Bob Kraft was busted for soliciting prostitution, wasn’t just posing for selfies with members of Trumpworld. She's been selling Chinese business executives access to Trump and his family at Mar-a-Lago
motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Yang’s company is promoting an upcoming event at Mar-a-Lago featuring Trump’s sister, Elizabeth Trump Grau. The co. bills it as “a once-in-a-lifetime publicity opportunity” where "Chinese elites" will have the chance to mingle with Trump Grau and members of Congress
This is Huachu Tang, owner of a Chinese electric car co., who flew 17 hours to attend the New Year's celebration at Mar-a-Lago in hopes of promoting his company.
Executives like Tang have every reason to believe that spending big money to attend events at Mar-a-Lago—money that is flowing into the president's pockets—could improve their business prospects.
After all, as @ProPublica reported this week, stuff like this happens after encounters with Trump at Mar-a-Lago propublica.org/article/trump-…

NEW: Donald Trump has never explained a mysterious $50 million-plus loan. @russchoma spent months investigating and uncovered information suggesting this debt may be evidence of tax fraud. bit.ly/2k4QEXZ
@russchoma This is a complicated—but important!—story, so allow me to unpack it a bit in a short thread
@russchoma This loan, held by a Trump-owned LLC called Chicago Unit Acquisition, has puzzled reporters for years. Trump's financial disclosures note this loan is worth at least $50 million but also that CUA earns no revenue & is considered virtually worthless.

Huh? documentcloud.org/documents/6284…

NEW: A Chinese-American businessman marketed travel packages featuring access to Trump’s club and his clan: “Day Two, Visit Mar A Lago and attend a function attended by one or two Trump family members.” bit.ly/2Wqn4Kt
In marketing Mar-a-Lago access, Daniel Lou says he was trying to capitalize on his fundraising for Trump during the '16 campaign: “I wanted to develop a high-end business because of my political contributions and my involvement in 2016.”
The RNC has told Lou not to discuss his fundraising efforts, which included escorting 30 “Chinese Trump Supporters” to a Trump fundraising breakfast at Cipriani

NEW from me, @DavidCornDC and @dfriedman33: Meet “Prince Charles,” the Chinese mystery man who has emerged as a key figure in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago security debacle motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Charles Lee (Li Weitian) ran a group called the United Nations Chinese Friendship Association that has ties to China’s United Front Work Department. That will be significant to counterintelligence investigators examining the Mar-a-Lago situation
The United Front Work Department oversees what is in effect a global influence operation (to dumb down what is a very complex system). This report gives a good overview of the United Front strategy uscc.gov/sites/default/…

NEW: Cindy Yang, the massage parlor owner peddling access to Trump, has ties to Chinese government-linked groups. Of course she does!

ICYMI: Cindy Yang’s family STILL owns several S. FL spas which have attracted the attention of at least 2 police agencies over prostitution allegations and are discussed online as places where men can pay for sexual extras.
In 2013, after Cindy Yang sold her "Tokyo Day Spa Jupiter" [which then became the Orchids of Asia spa where Robert Kraft was busted], the same girls who "worked" for Cindy Yang continued to work for the new owner.

THIS happened while Yang owned it 👇

Li Yang, who founded a chain of spas that included the one where Bob Kraft was busted for soliciting prostitution, ran a company selling access to Trump family and admin officials. Her site, GY US Investments LLC, was taken down, but you can still find the photos online.
The website for her company has an archived version on the Wayback Machine, and the photos from her photo gallery are still available online.

This one was labeled "Founder Yang Li and banker Mrs. Elizabeth Trump-Grau (Prague Trump's sister's private dinner)"
The site used the photos to demonstrate the access they could sell to clients. This photo is labeled "Philanthropist Terry, founder Yang Li and banker Mrs. Elizabeth Trump-Grau (President Trump's sister), Li Zhonggang, director of the Asian Republican National Committee."

The Miami Herald is reporting that the founder of the chain of massage parlors, including a location where Patriot's owner Bob Kraft was arrested for soliciting prositution, has previously visited President Trump at the White House and has been a guest at Mar-A-Lago.
The story doesn't end with President Trump, Bob Kraft, and a chain of massage parlors conducting human trafficking.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida Senator Rick Scott, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. also have associations with the founder of the massage parlor chain.
Picture is Li Yang, the Chinese woman who founded a chain of South Florida massage parlors where Patriots owner Bob Kraft was captured on video and arrested for soliciting prositituion.

She most recently spent time with President Trump at his Mar-A-Lago Super Bowl party.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution in connection with a Florida spa tied to an international human trafficking ring tcpalm.com/story/news/loc…
“The tentacles of this go from here to New York to China, in Florida from here to Orange County .. this is the tip of the iceberg."

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft charged as a 'john' in human trafficking/prostitution investigation wptv.com/news/region-n-…
Note that once again, the victims of the sex trafficking operation were not Trump's mythical women smuggled across the Mexican border in car trunks, but entered through legal ports of entry such as airports. #NoWall
