Qatar's government bought a $6.5M apartment in Trump World Tower. 1. This is an #Emolument. 2. Qatar is a possible conduit in the Steele Dossier's alleged Rosneft transaction from Russia to Trump. 1/ thedailybeast.com/report-qatar-j…
In March, I explained the Russia/Rosneft-to-Qatar-to-Trump-and-Kushner links, which also involved a dangerous Gulf state conflict that Kushner pushed, followed by a massive loan from a Qatar-linked firm to Kushner. 2/ slate.com/news-and-polit…
3/ Summary: Russia’s sale of Rosneft Gas is the key event in the Steele Dossier’s quid pro quo allegation. June 2016: Russians offer Trumpers a massive payout in return for lifting sanctions. Qatari firm acquires Rosneft from Russia Dec ‘16, as Flynn/Kushner set up backchannel.
4/Kushner meets with Putin's banker as the sale goes through to Qatar 12/2016. Kushner seeks money directly from Qatar. But Qatar doesn't deliver. Kushner creates a crisis vs. Qatar w/ risk of war. Then the Qatar-backed Apollo Group delivers $184 million to Kushner in Nov. 2017.
5/ And now we know Qatar bought a $6.5 apartment from Trump a month after SDNY judge ruled that Foreign #Emoluments Clause was a political question, not for judicial enforcement. @gauthamrao and I have explained why the trial court erred in this article: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
6/ The Guardian: "The Qatari monarchy has been scrambling to regain its footing with the US since Saudi Arabia and Gulf allies imposed an embargo." “They are certainly spending a lot of money trying to influence the shape of the debate in Washington,” said ex-ambassador to Saudi.
7/ Even if Qatar did not buy condo directly from Trump, its condo and management fees are foreign #Emoluments, violating Constitution.
