Great @ktskts11 catch in Senate Intel Russia report

Darren Blanton - founded Colt Ventures, worked w/Michael Flynn, Jon Iadonisis, Tim Newberry - emailed Flynn & Peter Thiel re: Big League Truth Team set-up Oct '16 to push Trump campaign messaging

Not known if Thiel followed-up
Peter Thiel's name appears only 5 times in Senate Intel Russia report, 4 related to emails from Darren Blanton and once related to 2015 Freedom Fest in Las Vegas where Paul Erickson arranged for Maria Butina to attend a private event w/Peter Thiel

intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/…
Coincidentally I just tweeted about 2015 Freedom Fest in Las Vegas where Maria Butina was in the audience and asked Trump a question

Phil Ruffin was invited by Trump to speak

And per last tweet, Butina may have met Thiel at a private event

Dmitry Rybolovlev (bought FL mansion in '08 $50 mil over what Trump paid) funded Swiss battery co Alevo & in 2017 Alevo NC plant went bankrupt

I wrote about Rybolovlev's ties to Innolith which bought some Alevo assets

A recent story says Rybolovlev is Innolith's majority owner
This September article said Dmitry Rybolovlev was in talks with Greek Development Ministry for the creation of a battery factory and 200 million-euro investment for "production of high-standard batteries by Innolith, a company majority owned by Rybolovlev"
ekathimerini.com/257445/article…
When Rybolovlev's Swiss based Alevo's NC battery plant went bankrupt Innolith bought some assets including a GridBank unit that had been hooked up to the PJM network in MD - a regional transmission org that manages grid reliability for 65 million+ people

Trump engineered sudden windfall in 2016 as campaign funds dwindled - Tax records expose over $21mil in unusual payments from Las Vegas hotel Trump owns w/Phil Ruffin, routed through Trump cos and paid out in cash, by @susannecraig @mmcintire @russbuettner
nytimes.com/interactive/20…
"The bulk of the money went through a company called Trump Las Vegas Sales and Marketing that had little previous income, no clear business purpose and no employees. The Trump-Ruffin joint venture wrote it all off as a business expense."

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Tax records show Trump Las Vegas Sales and Marketing had little income, with profits of $54,924 in 2007 & $420,756 in 2008. Then, in 2016, came a payment of $13,756,623

Ethics filing said company had a deal with a subsidiary of but no other details given

Just saw this 2018 story on CA-based Grabr, founded by Daria Rebenok & Artem Fedyaev

Funders include

Peter Thiel's Founders Fund

Konstantin Nikolaev, Russian railroad billionaire & Maria Butina funder

Alexey Repik, Russian pharmaceutical magnate, attended Trump inauguration
Noticed 👆 while searching for news on Alexey Repik, who @MacFinn44 brought to my attention as he frequently tracks his flights. Repik's plane was in Maine recently (Rohrabacher now lives there, though there's no indication of any links between the two)

Interesting, also HT @MacFinn44 - Rohrabacher's company registered to lobby for Linear Therapies related to COVID-19

Some more details about Rohrabacher's latest gig and links to Stone and Giuliani from @MountainsStars

Trump's financial disclosure includes 2 loans for Trump Int’l Hotel & Tower (TIHT) Chicago

1) a springing loan made by Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC in 2012 for over $50 mil

2) Deutsche(DBTCA) loan of $25-50mil from 2012

Thread w/some info & questions on DBTCA Chicago loans Image
In 2014 DBTCA refinanced $69 mil for TIHT Chicago

@clliday found that on Nov 9, 2016 (after the election) there was a partial release of $53,730,977.65 (which presumably left balance of approx $15mil)

I'm adding some updates on prior thread below

I created the table below of the loans and major filings I found on Cook County website for TIHT Chicago starting in 2004 from Fortress & DBTCA (springing loan is not available)

The bottom yellow sections show 2 DBTCA loans that raise a few questions Image
