Did you watch the #Maddow Show hosted by @JoyAnnReid tonight?
You might've noticed a video clip of Donald Trump Jr. in Latvia discussing golf and Russia.
I broke the video story before #Election2016 after @funder @TheDemCoalition tipped me.
It's still growing.

I wrote until very late on a Friday night not unlike tonight to break the scoop. It became our first major #TrumpRussia #TrumpLeaks story occupydemocrats.com/2016/10/15/new…
That raised our eyebrows because Donald Trump was rigorously denying all business contact with the country and Putin ties on the campaign trail.

I went went on to write 65 additional reports about #TrumpRussia in the next 5 months
Scott @funder wrote two editions of the #DworkinReport

Trump sold the most expensive house in America 38 days later to Rybovlev, the Russian fertilizer king.
But we would soon revisit Latvia....

@funder wrote a #TrumpRussia quote tweet about Don Jr.'s speech in Riga to Baltic International Bank, fined 10/3/16
Both Don Jr. and Eric Trump tipped us off!

What we found was shocking. Baltic International Bank had merely created a Russian money laundering manual, and got caught, and fined DURING the campaign #TrumpRussia thesternfacts.com/democratic-coa…
Baltic International had published new pictures of Don Jr.'s speech, depicting a private meeting with its founder. #TrumpRussia

My reports on the bank's money laundering are sourced from government records, @OCCRP and court decisions...

@AUSTRAC had linked Baltic International Bank to El Chapo.

The Latvian bank also took in funds from the fraud against @Billbrowder that led to the Magnitsky Act: reportingproject.net/proxy/en/the-m…

So. @JoyAnnReid brought up the Trump Russian funded golf empire because Don Jr. spilled the beans on 2012, as I reported 10/15/2016, and she noted, a reporter asked Eric about their funding.

What's most notable about Trump's major move into the golf business is that it coincided with the disappearance of known markets for golf course loans....
