There's a mystery $50mil debt related to Trump Int'l Hotel & Tower Chicago

I found SEC filings related to $130mil mezzanine loan on TIHT Chicago from before loan was paid off that may shed light on the loan (but may not tie to $50mil debt mystery) /thread
Both @russchoma @Fahrenthold have reported extensively on a mystery $50 million debt on Trump’s financial disclosure for Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC and in 2016
@susannecraig reported that Trump said the $ was a loan he purchased back from several banks
nytimes.com/2016/05/24/bus…
@russchoma @Fahrenthold @susannecraig A 2008 WSJ article described a $640 million senior construction loan from Deutsche Bank for Trump Int’l Hotel & Tower Chicago and $130 million mezzanine loan from group led by Fortress that had a steep $50 mil exit fee and could cost $360mil with interest

This 2017 @dyertimes story is a must read: Why Putin chose Trump to get even with Clinton

Great overview of how Russian energy interests in Europe, thru Ukraine & aligned w/kleptocrats in Azerbaijan, Turkey & Trump have shaped events

HT @truthseekingiam
boulderweekly.com/news/why-putin…
@dyertimes @truthseekingiam To paraphrase:

To understand the Trump/Russia scandal we must see Russia as it truly is today: a cartel of wealthy oligarchs from Russia, Azerbaijan & Turkey manipulating political systems to maintain cash flow, mostly from the sale of natural resources
boulderweekly.com/news/why-putin…
@dyertimes @truthseekingiam The article correctly points out that while many people (including me in thread below) focused on the Russia/Exxon arctic exploration deal as a pivotal event, it's essential to look at the wider historical and global energy story to understand Trump/Russia

Manhattan DA Cy Vance Jr’s criminal investigation zeros in on Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg

Per source SDNY asked DA to "stand-down" & a year later SDNY concluded investigation

Now clock is running out on 2 year window for some charges, by @peterelkind
propublica.org/article/prosec…
@peterelkind Per two sources, On October 30, a handful of lawyers and investigators from Vance’s office traveled to the federal minimum-security prison to meet for a third time with Michael Cohen - much of the discussion involved Weisselberg.
propublica.org/article/prosec…
@peterelkind This is not surprising, but still so ridiculous - Trump’s business turned over 3,376 pages of documents, court filings show - a filing by the DA asserted that “approximately two-thirds” were “non-substantive Google alerts” 🙄

😎Wowza😎

Prosecutor says Roger Stone lied ‘because the truth looked bad for Trump’

“At a critical moment in this nation’s history,” as Congress sought to “find out the truth of what happened (2016 elex),” Zelinsky said, Stone “was doing his best to stop them.”
😎Wowza😎

On 9/25 Trump wanted Zelensky to announce via a CNN broadcast that he was opening an investigation into Burisma & the Bidens & @CNN was game, ready to broadcast this cooked up propaganda. In fact, CNN did not release the WBC until 9/26, the day after.
😎Wowza😎

Fact: if the UKR military aide was not released by 9/30 (FYE) the appropriated funds would be clawed back—expire.😱

Taylor: “That was my clear understanding security assistance money would not come until the President (Zelensky) committed to the investigations.”

Friedman is a SIGNIFICANT business partner of Cohen. Under his agreement, Freidman will **avoid jail time**, and must assist government prosecutors in "STATE or FEDERAL investigations".🤔

Just imagine what Friedman knows to get such a sweet deal‼️😎

Cohen is TOAST.🤣 2/
Freidman has been Cohen’s partner in the taxi business (easy way to launder money) for years, managing cabs for him even after NYC regulators BARRED Freidman last year from continuing to manage taxi medallions.🤨 3/
