@DerWouter@StacyJannis Missed the details of the Dec '20 sale of 4 Indian Creek Road, reportedly to Jared & Ivanka. Julio Iglesias sold it to Top Line Ventures Limited via Cabana Love L.L.C. but Top Line's address is in c/o MDR Mayfair in DUBAI....
...The Real Deal reported the terms of the sale of 4 Indian Creek Road in Dec '20. Since no one else apparently finds the arrangement odd. I guess the deal is legit.... therealdeal.com/miami/2020/12/…
...Is some of Jared & Ivanka's [newfound] wealth now being managed by a private wealth firm from their office in Dubai? Maybe MDR-Dubai was recc'd by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum or PM Netanyahu....
...An informed opinion on MDR Mayfair. Sounds like just the type of financial institution the Kushners would be looking for....
As reported by @PoliticoRyan, Ivanka's signature W-GDP program in connection w USAID was an unaccountable mess which is no surprise to anyone who followed the news about it from Day One.... politico.com/news/2021/03/3…
...Ivanka's W-GDP website was part of the WH site & never included any government official's name other Ivanka's. The only two major change since July '19 was the deletion of Trump's EO & the addition of an annual report..... web.archive.org/web/2019030108…
...Two excerpts from Trump's EO establishing Ivanka's W-GDP program & ordering other agencies to kick in funding. As far as I know, no one has ever accounted for how Ivanka spent that $300 million...
If Cy Vance wants to, I'm sure he could put additional pressure on Trump Org employees to cooperate. Eg on her '17 OGE report, Lynne Patton declared a substantial portion of her income in '16 was derived from the use of Trump facilities which I doubt was taxed...
...Screenshot of Lynne Patton's OGE report. Part of her $106k income from Trump Org came from golf memberships etc. The fact that her income was only $106k including the employee bennies is a telltale sign of her real status in the company....
...Admittedly, I was angry that Lynne Patton, a self-acknowledged lifelong cocaine addict & chronic liar, held an important position at HUD overseeing billions of dollars of federal spending....
After reading this WP article re two companies, Arsenal Media Group & Olympic Media, gouging first time political candidates, I compiled a list of all of the payments made to both firms in this election cycle per FEC records... washingtonpost.com/local/md-polit…
...Olympic Media took in $11.8m, $3.8m of which came from the We Are Great Again PAC. When I saw Chris Marston was the treasurer, I suspected it wasn't on the up & up & I was right. Not one dime of the $4.5m raised in the '19-'20 cycle went to support or oppose a candidate...
...The We Are Great Again PAC website is no longer accessible but the latest version in the archives shows GOP operative, @EdBrookover, as chairman. I'd really like to hear Mr. Brookover justify raking in $4.5m in small donations & spending the entire amount on admin costs....
WinRed, the GOP's answer to ActBlue, still hasn't filed a January '21 report w the FEC. Other campaign committees managed by treasurer, Ben Otthenhoff & his partner, Caleb Crosby, have though. List of committees they managed in the '19-'20 election cycle....
...Julie Dozier & Janna Rutland are friends/relatives of Caleb Crosby who all live in a Birmingham AL suburb. Neither Dozier or Rutland is a lawyer or a CPA. First came across Dozier's name in connection w Rick Scott's New Republican PAC....
...Odd. The Peachtree PAC, registered w the FEC on Nov 6 '20, hasn't filed a statement of organization yet although Julie Dozier, treasurer, filed a Filing Frequency Notice on Nov 9 '20. Peachtree PAC contributions totaled $38m in Dec '20, all from the Senate Leadership Fund....
Been awhile since I looked at 990s filed by Matt Schlapp's American Conservative Union. The most recent one available is for the year ended March 31 '19. Here's a few screenshots. First is the cover page....
...ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp doesn't take a salary but some of the other employees are handsomely paid. (I'm sure benefits in other ways)...
....Matt Schlapp's American Conservative Union shells out relatively big $$$ to independent contractors....
@DerWouter Per @SollenbergerRC for Salon, Cleta Mitchell replaced the Foley & Lardner PAC treasurer w Chris Marston, a regular on the 501c4/PAC treasurer circuit & whose work is generally substandard.... salon.com/2021/02/23/one…
...Chris Marston is currently the treasurer of 228 campaign committees per the FEC....
...I don't know if you remember but Chris Marston prepared the 990s for Shining City, a questionable 501c4 which at one point was led by Aryeh Lightstone who went on to Ambassador David Friedman's right hand man in Israel...
