Former Russian Ambassador ҜISLУДҜ visited Trump Tower the same day, according to House Intel Committee’s Minority Report.
Qatar Investments Director & foreign ministry director of communications Ahmed Al-Rumaihi boasted about an alleged payoff to General Flynn.

Secret meeting between 45 & Crown Prince of United Arab Emirates who didn't notify State Dept led Susan Rice to unmask surveillance of foreign dignitary & discover back channel to Putin via American mercenary boss Erik Prince
to RDIF Director Kirill Dmitriev in Seychelles Islands

General Flynn was upstairs waiting in Trump Tower on 12/12/16 when Qatari delegation slipped into westernmost elevator, led by restless Al-Rumaihi who entered the US on a B-1 tourist visa, arrived in the lobby at time marker 7:38 in the video.

Former MI6 agent Christopher Steele’s infamous dossier accused Trump Campaign of being tied to Russian oil deal when it was released a month later
House Intel Dems released info 2 months ago indicatin ҜISLУДҜ also visited Trump Tower 12/12/16 & met Kushner’s deputy Avi Berkowitz

Al-Rumaihi arrived during presidential transition
Qatar Airlines had been a commercial tenant of Trump Organization inside Trump Tower since 2008
Notably 45 has long history of meeting with prior Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani to seek business financing

Kushner fam asked HBJ for financing at 666 Fifth Ave & currently involved in deal to acquire NY Plaza Hotel which 45 lost to Saudi prince in the 90s
Kushner asked for $500 million loan from Qatar after takin office at WH 3 wks before Saudi Arabia declared blockade vs Doha capital

Michael Cohen’s $1.2 million payday from Swiss pharma Co Novartis raised spectre of FARA violation.
Cohen meeting Qatari diplomatic delegation are prima facia circumstantial evidence he may have violated FARA in working for that nation’s gov or agencies Lobbying Disclosure Act.

Flynn may've violated same lobbying laws if he took Qatari payoff as alleged which he already admitted being guilty of doing on behalf of Turkish government

#SteeleDossier postulates Carter Page would help collect half-billion $ brokerage commission on Rosneft privatization deal

Emergence of documented relationship between Cohen, who was caught taking all manner of corporate & foreign payoffs & Qatar who bought shares suggests his potential in bagging illicit cash may have been needed

Is important to note Cohen has a lifelong friendship with Felix Sater

Sater is Russian mafia associate convicted of racketeerin charges for laundering proceeds of $60 million pump/dump scam in the 90s from Trump Tower on Wall St
After signin agreement to cooperate with FBI Sater became 45’s business partner in lower Manhattan Condo/Hotel Trump Soho

Sater began cooperating with Mueller only 3 days before FBI raided Michael Cohen.

The pair would seem an obvious choice for Trump if he was lookin for help collecting large cash payment & hiding it or funneling it through law firm.

Mueller’s investigation of 45 transition team has all emails from that period
Public's known is time period of official investigatory focus
#SteeleDossier has been jumpin off point for investigators to unravel relationship between 45, his family, biz, Russian Federation oligarchs

Dossier alludes to $500 million quid pro quo between #TrumpRussia to broker sale of shares in state-owned Rosneft to Qatar’s investment fund
Qatar’s Minister visited Trump Tower with fund mger capable of doin deal, met with transition team 5 days after transaction began to close

He arrived with Qatari official who had access to $11 billion to buy Rosneft’s shares in cash
Meeting video is substantial circumstantial evidence there was opportunity for 45 to be involved in brokering deal with Qatar & made contact with Cohen likely to quietly bag/collect $$

It substantiates opportunity Flynn had to obtain Qatari payoff/bribe for lobbyin secret services
Doesn't answer remainin questions re #TrumpRussia & #Muellerlnvestigation
It fills in missin link demonstrating  relationship between Qatar & 45 a month before released #SteeleDossier

Law firm Jones Day used to work for Campaign & WH Counsel Don McGahn had private practice there until last yr
Firm won’t tell whereabouts of Qatari clients named in Sports Trinity suit & became subject of public ridicule from legal community last yr for openly sellin access to WH

Ambassador al-Rumaihi procured contract last yr to hire John Ashcroft(R) for 90 Days to access former Sr members of FBI, Homeland Security Dept, intelligence services & Treasury officials, Jones Day helped
Cost Qataris $2.5 million to hire Ashcroft as their FARA registered agent

Contract with Ashcroft was Faisal al-Hamadi/Faisal Abdulwahid Ali al-Hammadi, a QIA Director of Asset Mgmnt Group & Head of Asset Mgmnt
Sports Trinity public relations spokesmen refused comment when asked what Ashcroft Firm provided to Qatari gov for $2.5 million in 90 days & why

Ashcroft’s client Faisal Al-Hamadi is a Harvard educated financial professional & Chartered Financial Advisor who sits on numerous corporate boards in Qatar
QIA Director Al-Hamadi has deleted or suspended his LinkedIn profile recently because the link is broken

Dr Al-Rumaihi kept his LinkedIn profile but turned it into a black hole, he has been engaged in a heavy campaign of deletion on his Wikipedia page, ever since his ‘Sports Trinity’ deal collapsed into a pile of lawsuits & allegations of conducting a political influence campaign

Rep from Qatari group’s public relations firm reached out to Washington Press after original story re prospective payoff to Flynn to falsely claim Sports Trinity (group of 3 persons)has 2 persons
Their client Dr Al-Rumaihi swore to Central CA fed court he's partner with Al Hamadi

Their spokesmen refused to comment on Al-Rumaihi’s visa status durin his visit to 45 transition
Numerous allegations contained in federal lawsuit against Al-Rumaihi, Al-Hamdi & their US citizen partner from Miami point to potential violation of FARA America’s foreign lobbying law

In civil lawsuit over Al-Rumaihi’s attempt to purchase most expensive townhome in Manhattan when he served as a diplomat posted to NY City, Qatari government’s lawyers pled sovereign immunity to defend suit, but in the current Sports Trinity lawsuit, they'e made no such claims
