@BrianFrosh In September the @baltimoresun editorial board published a piece saying "If Kushner won’t settle, Frosh should sue"

And now Frosh has sued

A wild story I found while researching Mikhail Fridman & Alfa Bank about a subsidiary Alfa Eco. There's an Alfa Eco in NY run by Anatoly Potik who was accused of hiring a hitman to kill his son-in-law. Separately his son once sued Lindsay Lohan for $60mil
nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-c…
Here's 2014 press release - Bluesphere Signs Joint Venture Agreement with Alfa Eco Corporation to Build Global Waste-to-Energy Projects - that describes Alfa Eco "founded in 1989 as cooperative between Alfa Photo and ADP (Mikhail Fridman & Anatoly Potik)"
globalrenewablenews.com/detail_news.ph…
Potik's son-in-law, a shipping executive Oleg Mitnik who was embroiled in a $16 million divorce, alleged that Potik paid $100K to hire a hitman to kill Mitnik - and then allegedly Mitnik paid the hitman $125K to call off the hit

Michael Milken went to jail for insider trading - now Mnuchin, Kushner, Giuliani are lobbying Trump to pardon his crimes and Milken is benefitting from two projects in opportunity zones personally designated by Mnuchin, by @EricLiptonNYT @JesseDrucker
nytimes.com/2019/10/26/bus…
This story on Michael Milken is a great example of the decades of grift around Trump - Milken’s case was presided over by Judge Kimba Wood who also sentenced Michael Cohen. And in an example of how far Giuliani has fallen, he was the Manhattan AG who indicted Milken

Let's take a minute and look at #Trump through the eyes of the religious right and see if he measures up. Today, Proverbs 6:16-19 @TheDemocrats @TomPerez
It says:
@TheDemocrats @TomPerez There are 6 things the Lord hates, 7 that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies & a person who stirs up community conflict
@TheDemocrats @TomPerez 1) Haughty eyes: Eyes, according to Scripture, are the windows of the soul. It means that God truly despises those whose look communicates an arrogance and pride that shows that they have no respect for God and His ways - just an utter disdain of them. #MAGA - sound familiar?

#NEW: Rick Gates told Mueller that he and Manafort shared Trump Campaign Polling Data in 2016 w/ Konstantin Kilimnik, who has ties to Russian Intelligence.

In new unsealed court docs, it was revealed that Gates was at least one source for the revelation.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
#BREAKING: In new court filing, it was revealed that Konstantin Kilimnik...WAS IN DC FOR THE INAUGURATION.

The Manafort and Gates associate, with ties to Russian Intelligence, met with Manafort about the "Russia-Ukraine peace plan."

#REDFLAG: In court transcripts, Andrew Weissman, senior Mueller prosecutor, suggested Konstantin Kilimnik's relationship w/ Manafort & Gates...TIES DIRECTLY TO #CONSPIRACY/COLLUSION.

“This goes...very much to the heart of what the [SCO] is investigating.”

Here’s how #Trump has achieved #Russia’s policy goals. It’s not just Syria. Trump’s most inexplicable or controversial foreign policy moves begin to make sense when viewed as Trump capitulating to Russian policy objectives thinkprogress.org/trump-achieve-… via @thinkprogress
Ann Coulter's right. Trump IS gutless. But not for capitulating to Dems on a wall. He's capitulating to PUTIN & RUSSIA's goals: Driving out Mattis, weakening NATO, ignoring Russia's stunning aggression in Ukraine, defending Putin, relaxing sanctions, undermining democracy etc etc
Now Trump drives Mattis out by Jan 1. This isn't normal b/c Trump is hostile to America. He aids our enemies. As I've said like a broken record, Trump is Putin's dream and America's nightmare. Bitter truth is, Republicans are OK with a Kremlin stooge president. Suicidal insanity.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
