...on behalf of [_]' clemency petition

(Gates? Nicki Lum Davis?)

Some suggest Parnas but he's been pro-Biden anti-Trump so it would be surprising

It's too early to tell but Gates went from cooperating witness to less cooperative and he wants a pardon

He knows about Manafort, Firtash & was hired by Broidy and Barrack

Great @OCCRP story on Monarch Air's past Russian org crime links & later US govt contracts w/DoD & US Marshal service witness protection

But disappointing Lily Dobrovolskaya doesn't mention @patrickLSimpson broke part of the story - Monarch witness protection scoop - in May 2019
This @OCCRP is full of great info about Monarch Air's former/current investors Jacob & David Gitman, Anatoly Golubchik, Vadim Trincher - latter 2 jailed for running gambling ring in Trump Tower
occrp.org/en/investigati…

Here's @patrickLSimpson's 2019 story
thesternfacts.com/under-trump-wi…
A fascinating detail in the OCCRP story is that Boruch “Bob” Freedman, who joined Monarch Air in 2011, is nephew of Alexander Mashkevich - who w/Patokh Chodiev, Alijan Ibragimov (aka The Trio) founded ENRC, & invested in Bayrock - a Trump Soho partner

Around 2010 before Trump defaulted on Chicago tower payments, Fortress expected over $300 million - $130 million in principal and roughly $185 million in interest and fees

Fortress & partners (including Mnuchin's Dune) settled for $48 million

nytimes.com/2020/10/27/bus…
Last year I had caught this from a description of the Fortress loan in a 2008 WSJ article which noted the loan of $130 million with the exit fee and interest could end up costing up to $360 million

NYT notes in 2014 Deutsche loaned Trump more $ due 2024 for total of $69mil and by May 2016 he repaid $24mil

Article doesn't mention that day after the election, there was a partial release of $53.7mil
