💥💥#WilliamBarr received dividends from #Vector: the founder/executive of Vector brought Trump to Moscow in 1996 and arranged discussions about a joint venture between Trump Organization and the Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov’s office.medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
Howard Lorber is the founder/executive of Vector, Douglas Elliman and Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. Vector Group is the parent company of Douglas Elliman. Lorber’s and LeBow’s real estate company Douglas Elliman currently has many listings in Trump Tower.
In April 2016, Trump thanked Lorber and LeBow in his speech after winning the Republican primary, calling them “our great businessmen of the world.”motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
LeBow wrote a $300,000 check to Trump's inaugural committee. In August 2016, Howard Lorber was included in Trump's list of advisors.
In 2014, Michael Cohen’s brother Bryan became a chief administrative officer at Douglas Elliman. More on this here:
Lorber was also a director of Prime Hospitality Corp.,a company doing business in the lodging industry, from May 1994 until its acquisition by Blackstone Group LP in November 2004.vectorgroupltd.com/welcome/manage…
Blackstone owns Intertust, a Dutch law company that shared an address with QHC Shares, a Singaporean joint venture between Glencore and Qatar, involved in Rosneft deal. See the details with links here:
Vector--Douglass Elliman--Howard Lorber--Blackstone--Intertrust. Plus, "On Barr’s public financial disclosure report, he admits to working for a law firm that represented Russia’s Alfa Bank and for a company whose co-founders allegedly have long-standing business ties to Russia."
Re Alfa and its role please read my thread/article re: Kavanaugh appointment. It is the same pattern, the same story.
Again, The typical steps towards silencing and suppressing investigation:→ The strategic hires block trials.→ The investigation is silenced/stopped.→ The public opinion is formed by the press.→ Independent journalists and investigators are killed or exiled.
I watch countries fall to this pattern, one by one, but I still hope that common sense and decency will prevail. Take a few minutes. Read the materials presented. Check the facts. Think. Demand that William Barr recuses himself & that the Mueller report is released in full.
