1/16 This thread's to lay out more details as to why I question whether the Trump Tower Fire was an accident. My last thread about the fire was before the FBI Raid. Considering the Raid happened so quickly AFTER the Trump Tower Fire the FBI may not consider it an accident either
2/16 Trumps downstairs neighbor on the 63rd fl was Vadim Trincher, who pleaded guilty in 2013 to running “one of the biggest bookmaking operations in the world,”. That led to the indictment of Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov who was seen on the red carpet w/ Trump at Miss Universe Moscow
3/16 Trincher who's gambling ring was the basis of the movie "Molly's Game"
was on the 63rd fl of Trump Tower. Also charged in the ring was Hillel“Helly”Nahmad who owned the entire 51st fl. As part of the charges Helly sold a $50k painting for $300k e.g money laundering using art
4/16 Who else in Trump Tower had a serious art collection? 50C. Todd Brassner was in Andy Warhol's memoir & he apparently had a significant art collection. Bankruptcy filings in 2016 say he owned $3.4 million in art & collectibles & his apt was valued at $2.5 million
5/16 Since he was worth so much its unusual but 50C had a tendency to NOT pay Trump Tower. Almost every yr from 2007-2013 NY State records show Trump Tower used legal means to force him to pay his condo fees (by Lien). If you wonder if he started paying after 2013 - he didn't.
6/16 The 2016 bankruptcy docs show 50C owing Trump Tower $30k- about 3 yrs worth of fees. So 50C still didn't pay, but after 2013 Trump Tower stopped forcing him to? WHY? Obviously 2013 was Miss Universe but also in 2013 the 63rd fl & 51st fl owners were both indicted.
7/16 So if they needed a new Art Guy to help w/ Money Laundering maybe they looked close to home. Todd Brassner also has an interesting connection to Trump himself. His father appears to have been a member of MAR A LAGO, knew Trump well & was arrested for selling stolen artwork
8/16 This article also has a link to a YouTube video which is a bit bizarre but may be worth watching. The guy talks about how he went with Brassners father to Mar A Lago & had such a close relationship to Trump.

9/16 Obviously this is speculation, but IF Trump somehow got 50C w/ his Art Collection involved in his money laundering in exchange for something (Condo fees, more?) then the fact that Mueller was sniffing around may have caused concern.
10/16 If Brassner somehow got caught up in Trumps laundering but he WASN'T a fan of Trumps, he may have been a candidate to talk to Mueller. Even if he wasn't involved at all, an Art Dealer in Trump Tower may have figured out what's going on & been a liability to talk to Mueller
11/16 I obviously think there's a good chance that this was NOT an accidental fire. An obvious question is whether the fire was to take care of some evidence. REMEMBER, NYPD & Secret Service are all over the bldg EVERYDAY so it's not necessarily easy to get things OUT of the bldg
12/16 The small fire on the roof in January may have even been set to understand how Secret Service & NYPD would respond. The FBI Raid on Cohen also lends credence to the fact that there may have been concerns that the fire was to take care of getting evidence out of Trump Tower
13/16 Reports say the fire was in 50C & 50D. 50D seems to be an EMPTY apt owned by a shell company thats connected to the Grand-nephew of a former President of Mexico? If we were to look at the possibility of Evidence Tampering the empty apt 50D next door is awfully convenient.
14/16 The odd text from Cohen to a friend?
No reports of alarms going off?
They found the guy in his apt?
If it was a slow fire why didn't he walk out his door?
If it was fast,Why?
Would gas or electric issues be so 'very confined'?
If it wasn't Trump's, would we be hearing more?
15/16 Muellers investigation's looking at Money Laundering. There's probably Real Estate in Trump Tower that's been used in Money Laundering & maybe they had their 'Art' Money Laundering operation in Trump Tower too. Trump Tower may be a hotbed of evidence so a fire seems timely.
16/16 Obviously there's still lots to learn, but don't we need to question whether it was Evidence tampering? Obviously Witness Tampering's a serious charge but since the fire was confined to an Art Collector connected to Trump can we simply say it was coincidence or an accident?
Adding this article. In August 2017 Secret Service was basically kicked out of Trump Tower due to a lease dispute w/ Trump?!?

Interesting

Trying to keep them at bay w/ Mueller's investigation heating up?
