Qatari sovereign wealth fund (QIA) & Crown Acquisitions buy stakes in NYC properties from Vornado Realty including retail level at 666 Fifth Ave - Vornado to use $390m of $1.3bn cash from Crown & QIA to pay off loan on 666 Fifth bldg co-owned w/Kushner Cos
ft.com/content/59378b…
The QIA & Crown stakes in Vornado portfolio is likely to attract scrutiny given close ties between Qatari royal family and Jared Kushner, whose own family real estate empire ran into difficulty in recent years and was indirectly helped by QIA.

Russians hacked the RNC

The GRU released thousands of documents on DCLeaks

Mueller report footnote 140 said DCLeaks released a portfolio named
"The United States Republican Party"

Republican portfolio posted by DCLeaks included emails from Lindsey Graham
Mueller report mentions the Smoking Gun story RNC E-Mail Was, In Fact, Hacked By Russians

RNC emails have been hosted for years by Smartech on server dubbed "barracuda 1"

The Republican-related e-mails are innocuous - but noteworthy for scope of victims

thesmokinggun.com/documents/inve…
It's not breaking news that Russians hacked the RNC - but it has not been widely reported that Mueller included detail on the hack of RNC emails through Smartech in footnote 140 - and there has been very little MSM coverage of this topic.

1/ I know a lot of people probably consider me a bot, a troll, a @BernieSanders cult member. But there’s a real person behind this acct. And that person is really struggling right now. I feel worthless and hopeless as a young Black father in #NYC unable to care for my family.
2/ I moved to NYC 3 years ago. I had a job interview my 2nd day here. I have worked nearly everyday since. 6 months after starting work, I got a promotion to a full time position. Since then, I have gotten raises, better jobs, second jobs. None of it comes close to being able..
3/ ...to afford rent prices in this city. My partner and I had our first child 10 months ago. Going back to work—after taking (not enough) time off to care for our newborn—we discovered that on top of rent prices, quality childcare costs just as much.

Qatar now says it "unwittingly" bailed out Jared Kushner and his 666 5th Ave. disaster.
Excuse me?
Many of us have been explaining for a year how Qatar has been bailing out Kushner. The question is why Qatar is admitting it now but spinning desperately... What news is coming? 1/
2/ Where do we start with Qatar, Trump, and Kushner?
The Steele Dossier and Qatar buying 19% of Rosneft? Dec. 2016
The Saudi/UAE blockade? April 2017
The $184M loan from Qatar-backed Apollo to the Kushners?
I wrote this a year ago:
slate.com/news-and-polit…
3/ And I wrote this in June 2017. Public and damning evidence has pointied towards Qatar's involvement with Russia quid pro quo for almost 20 months... It's awfully late now to cry "unwitting."
It's witless... because there's a witness?

This is pretty wild...

A company owned by a foreign country fought a secret subpoena about “commercial activity”.

Judge rules against them.

Company fails to comply.

Judge hits them with a monetary penalty which increases EACH DAY.

1/
Potential clues:

- “commercial activity” - the subpoena focuses on the business dealings of the target

- complying would violate the owner country’s laws - banking privacy?

- continued non-compliance despite increasing penalties - this ain’t about protecting a customer

2/
- the subpoena hearing last wk may have been attended by Zainab Ahmad - her expertise: Middle Eastern organized crime, terrorism, money laundering

I dunno. Feels to me like:
1) a wealth fund or bank
2) illicit spending/investment/money laundering
3) foreign state bankrolling it
