@NigelJaquiss Last year @JustinGlawe reported VA-based Circinus LLC owned by Elliott Broidy had secured at least $800 million in foreign defense contracts since Trump took office

Many Circinus contracts are listed under global vendor name Threat Deterrence Capital LLC

@NigelJaquiss @JustinGlawe Here are listings for contract actions for Elliott Broidy's Circinus with Threat Deterrence Capital as global vendor name - the company Gordon Sondland and Aryeh Lightstone (senior adviser to US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman) had stakes in

@NigelJaquiss @JustinGlawe I'm sure there's more to come where Broidy is concerned
@NigelJaquiss @JustinGlawe Great catch by @thebax33 - a company related to Broidy's Circinus called Circinus Law Enforcement was renamed LEO Technologies, LLC

Per website their "solutions are built by cops for cops", they provide tech to law enforcement & intelligence community

In May 2019 Kushner Companies purchased a $1.1 billion portfolio of 6,500 rental apartments in MD & VA - now Kushner Cos plans $1 billion for 3 projects with 3000 units in South Florida - in a market one expert said has an overwhelming supply of apartments
therealdeal.com/miami/2019/10/…
Kushner purchased a site in Wynwood and one in Fort Lauderdale for combined $81 million and may invest $750 million more to develop them. The 3rd site is in Miami’s Edgewater area in an Opportunity Zone and is expected to cost over half a billion dollars
therealdeal.com/miami/2019/10/…
These are the largest deals Kushner Cos has done since it paid a then record $1.8 billion for 666 Fifth Ave in '07 and then sold the ground lease last year to Brookfield Asset Mgmt

It's amazing to see them rebound to do several billion $ deals this year🤔

💰Update - The Beltway Bandit

Elliott Broidy is arguably the swampiest Trump swamp creature, in a swamp filled with avaricious swamp monsters peddling foreign influence ops for hire (big bucks) with the goal of shaping US policy to benefit foreign governments.
#Broidy
Post 2016 elex, Broidy positioned himself as a premier broker of influence & access to the new adm & a financial oppty to mix his int’l biz with his efforts to influence US foreign policy, which is why he is the subject of federal scrutiny involving a number of global scandals.
‼️How a Trump Ally Tested the Boundaries of DC’s Influence Game

Broidy had pleaded guilty in 2009 to giving nearly $1M in illegal gifts to NYS officials to help land a $250 million investment from the state’s pension fund.

💰1MDB Global Scandal💰

What is 1MDB?

Short for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (which means limited), the fund was set up in 2009 by then-Prime Minister Najib Razak to invest government revenues in real estate

MAIN THREAD #1MDB
Questions arose in early 2015 when the fund failed to meet payments on $11 billion in debt.

🔑The WSJ then published documents showing that about $700M from 1MDB-linked entities had ended up in Najib’s personal bank accounts just before elections in 2013.
latimes.com/world/la-fg-ma…
By far the largest transactions that flowed into Malaysian PM Najib’s accounts were two deposits of $620M & $61M in March 2013, during a heated election campaign in Malaysia.

🌀Suspense🌀

Suspense for Mueller Rpt

Is Barr playing a highly sophisticated game, signaling he is a paragon of fairness to Trump b/4 he lowers the boom?

Or will he join the likes of Miller, Mulvaney, Pence & Mnuchin as the latest incarnations of Haldeman, Ehrlichman & Colson?
🌀Suspense2🌀

Threads from the Mueller probe could continue to yield new evidence & even more charges for months, if not years, to come — tied to everything from Russian interference in the 2016 election to the hush-money payment scheme Trump’s campaign to the Inauguration.
🌀Suspense3🌀

📌RU interference & hush money scandals were designed to help sway the last White House race, from the fundraising for Trump’s 2017 inauguration to unregistered foreign lobbyists working in the U.S.

📌”The Mueller report was just the first step.”

🛑BREAKING🛑

Michael Cohen negotiated a deal in late 2017 to pay $1.6 million to a former Playboy model who said she was impregnated by ELLIOTT BROIDY, a top @GOP fundraiser close to Trump who is the former **Deputy Finance Chair of the #RNC‼️

wsj.com/articles/trump…
🔥Broidy: “I had a consensual relationship w/a Playboy Playmate. At the end of our relationship, this woman shared w/me that she was PREGNANT. She alone decided that she did not want to continue with the pregnancy & I offered to help her financially during this difficult period.”
Meaning: Broidy paid for her to have an ABORTION‼️🙄

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
