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🤔

If you are ready to understand the crap going on out there then I can help. There is a lot to learn, but if you do, it will make more sense than anything you were told by the media.
2- Saudi Arabia

Why are the Saudis important?

Because this is where the swamp has its deepest depths/roots/funding and where the storm starts. SA has the most $ which have been flowing to corrupt politicians via foundations, Trump has made a deal with a younger Prince.
3- Saudi Arabia: Salman Vs Al Waleed

Left:
Muhammad Bin Salman 32 (Young new hero reformer)

Right: Al waleed 62 (Old school criminal, think 9/11, he is the leader of a large group of bad princes)

@DemocracyJourno Some call Ronn Torossian?
🔹What do the Mueller probe, Eric Trump Foundation, Felix Sater, Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani, Sinclair Broadcasting, TV Evangelists, Israel, Turkey, and Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow, Alan Dershowitz, SmartJet and JetSmarter all have in common?
1/
@DemocracyJourno 🔹Torossian’s specialty is “crises communications” PR

🔹Torossian is friendly with Cohen

🔹Torossian and Cohen both haunt the same circuit of upscale midtown restaurants—the Four Seasons, Nobu Fifty Seven and the Loews Regency (where the FBI raided Cohen’s hotel room)

2/
@DemocracyJourno 🔸Torossian met Cohen through Trump pal and pharmaceutical billionaire, Stewart Rahr
🔹Rahr is a Torossian client
🔸Rahr, a Queens native like Trump who's worth an estimated $2.2 billion, rents a sprawling 7,500-square-foot office space on 24th floor of Trump Tower Fifth Ave

Was there a connection between Russia's Alfa Bank and Trump's Campaign?
The Trump domain was shut down after @nytimes contacted Alfa Bank. “That shows a human interaction...Alfa Bank alerted Trump Org, which shut it down.”
cc @ljean by @NewYorker #Maddow bit.ly/2zUExlf
DNS traffic between Russia's Alfa Bank and Trump Tower coincided with Manafort’s time as campaign chair and continued after he left. "It could have been a messaging system" using Webmail to facilitate secret communications via 'foldering,' a method favored by Manafort.
#Maddow
Prominent computer expert @ljean says the Alfa Bank-Trump Tower communication may have been used to coordinate the movement of data. Cambridge Analytica stole millions Facebook records, which could have been transferred to the Russian govt to guide US voter targeting.
