*** THREAD ***

Qatar Investments Director Ahmed al Rumaihi runs an internal division of the Qatar Investment Authority.

He bragged about a payoff to Gen. Flynn.

He went to Trump Tower on 12/12/2016 during the transition and Flynn was there.
He enters around 7:38 and lingers until going upstairs with Michael Cohen at 7:42

A QIA Director Faisal Al-Hamadi aka Faisal Abdulwahid Ali Al-Hammadi spent $2.5 million to hire former Republican Attorney General John Ashcroft, who registered under FARA as an agent of the QIA representative.

Ahmed al Rumaihi procured the deal.

Ambassador Ahmed al Rumaihi is the Director of The Information Office at the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He issued these comments around the time of his unannounced visit to Trump Tower on 12/12/16 presumably on a B-1 visa.

Back to Trump Tower on 12/12/16

Flynn and Cohen and Rick Perry had a meet and greet in the lobby and were photographed together before Al-Rumaihi's arrival.
This video shows them palling around in the Trump Tower lobby.

At some point, Rick Perry left the Transition offices.

Eight minutes after Al-Rumaihi arrives, that's when Perry came back.

He was in a hurry and went straight into the elevator.

At 9:08 in the CSPAN video Al-Rumaihi and his crew depart the Trump Transition offices.
Just 13 minutes later. General Flynn leaves the transition offices, then doubles back and waits for the elevator as the video feed ends.
Ahmed Al-Rumaihi took over a $100 billion dollar portfolio last year.

That placed him in charge of Qatar Airlines, a state-run company which had offices in Trump Tower in December 2016 and was a tenant of the Trump Organization owned by Donald Trump.

Qatar purchased part of a state-owned Russian Oil company named Rosneft just three days before Al-Rumaihi's meeting at Trump Tower with Michael Cohen, and presumably with Gen. Flynn.

Other famous guests that day included Alexander Nix, the former CEO of Cambridge Analytica
And Trump's digital campaign manager, now 2020 Campaign Manager Brad Parscale.
Anthony "The Mooch" went to the Trump Tower lobby on 12/12 to escort Maurice Greenberg into the Transition offices (CSPAN called him a staffer) and they had a chance encounter with Rebekah Mercer who owns Breitbart (and her dad owns Cambridge Analytica)

The story that started this affair is about a lawsuit that @IceCube and his partner in the Big 3 Basketball league filed against Sports Trinity, a Qatari investment vehicle.

A sworn declaration inside the lawsuit ignited the search for General Flynn and Ahmed al-Rumaihi.

Jeff Kwatinetz is Steve Bannon's former business partner (he's not part of the league) and the Qataris approached him multiple times soliciting to keep paying where the Mercer family had left off.

And let slip a payoff to Flynn.

The day after the 12/12/16 Trump Tower meeting, Qatar's QIA announced a $10 billion dollar infrastructure investment by press release.

I do not believe anything of that sort has materialized. Trump holds numerous, empty, Infrastructure Weeks and Days.

brings up a great question:

Was Generally Flynn acting on behalf of Cambridge Analytica during the 12/12/16 Trump Tower meetings where former CEO Alexander Nix, Rebekah Mercer and Campaign Manager Brad Parscale all visited?

Because here are Flynn's lobbying registration forms from December 2016.

Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak snuck into Trump Tower on December 12th for a meeting with Jared Kushner's deputy, Avi Berkowitz.
