Thread: Reminder, Trump financed his (since closed) Trump Tower Baku in Azerbaijan with allegedly money-laundered funds from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Last week, he may have effectively assassinated his loan officer. 1/x
Here's the New Yorker article that broke the story about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard financing: 2/x newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
And another story, from The Guardian, which touches on some of the corruption and money-laundering to finance Iran's terrorist activities abroad, including juicy details about duffels of cash. 3/x independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
Note that the corruption described in the articles (and a similar Rachel Maddow story) would have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (hello, criminal liability), and that Ivanka had a major role. 4/x
As the more recent Vanity Fair article on Trump's financing from Iran's Revolutionary Guards notes, Ivanka reportedly was said to "personally approve everything" associated with the Baku Tower. 6/x vanityfair.com/news/2019/04/t…
What of Qasem Soleimani? Well, he wasn't only a Major General in Iran's Revolutionary Guards, he was commander of its Quds Force, the division in charge of foreign military and clandestine activities, which would presumably include money laundering. 7/x en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qasem_Sol…
So, yeah, Trump just used U.S. might to assassinate the guy in charge of the money-laundering scheme Trump used to finance Trump Tower Baku, which was a corrupt fiasco where his daughter may have U.S. felony liability.
We live in interesting times. 8/x
One last constructive note: If you're a Deutsche Bank officer who's still alive, with knowledge of Trump's criminal activities, you might want to reach out to the SDNY and NY AG's office. Sworn declaration, admissible after your death, could keep you alive. 10/10
Here's the link to Rachel Maddow's 2017 story on the Trump Baku tower and its financing from Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the related corruption and money-laundering: 9/10
