Let’s take a wee look at trump’s inauguration fund shall we? You may have recently heard Jr and Ivanka have been deposed. But this could go way further than the kids. 🧵👇🏻

This started in December of 2018. Two things that stick out to me in the above article is the information came from Michael Cohen just prior to his imprisonment, and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. You remember her...she was friends with Melania.

Until she wasn’t.

This is an excerpt from the article 2 tweets above. It is of the chairman of trump’s inaugural fund talking about the ‘cherished American tradition of a peaceful transfer of power’. Wow! Just...wow!

So, we have Michael Cohen and Stephanie Wolkoff provided information for the investigators and the chairman of the fund gaslighting us about ‘American Traditions’ his ‘friend’ (trump) completely ignored. Now, who is that chairman? You’re going to know him...but I’ll 📌for now.

I know, it’s an in thread tease. Shameless. But when working RICO cases, start with those lower than the boss. You may remember the Vice-Chairman of the trump inaugural fund was a guy named Elliot Broidy. If his name sounds familiar you may remember him from such scandals as

Broidy plead guilty. Did he do so in exchange for his testimony? Testimony potentially about the inauguration fund? Or could it be testimony about his dealings with Rick Gates? Or both? We remember Rick Gates right? Paul Manafort’s partner? businessinsider.com/financial-ties…

Which brings us to the 📌 Tom Barrack, Chairman of the Inauguration Fund. Tom Barrack is the ‘long time friend’ of donald Trump as described in almost everything you read about him. But let’s be honest, we all know donald does not have friends. So who is Tom Barrack?

Well, from the last article, we know he had a hand in hiring Paul Manafort for no pay to run trumps campaign for some reason. We know, he can gaslight with the best of them (remember the peaceful transition of power comment), and we know he is in proximity to a lot of money.

The Broidy scheme was worth billions and had money across the globe. Barrack was the chair, Broidy his number 2. Barrack is also a real estate investor. He was head of Colony Capital, an investment firm.

Barrack also helped trump to purchase the Old Post Office that became the Trump Hotel in DC. chicagotribune.com/business/ct-tr…

But all of this pales in comparison to the information that was brought forward in this astounding and exquisite piece of journalism👇🏻

Crazy, right? Did you hear all of that!? Anyway, here is a letter requesting Barrack’s firing or resignation.

If you didn’t read the letter, here is an important piece. Did Tom Barrack ‘transfer nuclear technologies to Saudi Arabia’? In his role as Inauguration Fund Chairman??? 👀👇🏻

Because that’s Michael Flynn’s job! pbs.org/newshour/polit…

I don’t have to remind you who Michael Flynn is do I?

I wouldn’t want you to be confused by Michael Flynn’s brother Charles. You don’t need a refresher on him right?

The investigation into the Inauguration Fund may require more attention than it’s been getting. This looks like more than pay to play.
