Follow The Money: Millian's Millions



The name Sergei Millian may not ring a bell with most of us following the Russiagate enterprise, but it's certain Special Counsel Mueller, the Southern District of New York, and House investigators know he's someone that could have the goods on the Trump Organization's dealings with Russian moguls tied to thug Vladimir Putin. He also appears to have been one of the sources for the Steele Dossier, which has been proven over time to be almost entirely accurate. The Washington Post reports:
On Facebook and in literature for his Russian chamber of commerce, [Millian] posted a photo of himself with Trump, snapped at a horse track in Miami in 2007 after he said 'mutual associates' introduced them. It is unclear whether they met on any other occasion.

But in April 2016, Millian gave the Russian state-operated news organization RIA Novosti an eyebrow-raising interview. He claimed that after meeting Trump in Miami he went to New York and met Trump’s 'right-hand man' — his personal lawyer Michael Cohen — and then signed a contract to sell Trump units in Florida.

'You can say that I was their exclusive broker,' he said, speaking in Russian. 'Back then, in 2007-2008, Russians by the dozens were buying apartments in Trump’s buildings in the USA.'

Asked in the Russian interview how often he spoke to Trump or his associates, Millian responded: 'The last time was several days ago.'"  
(our emphasis)
"Russians by the dozens" were clearly laundering money out of Russia, using Trump properties to hide it, with the knowledge of Trump's fixer and the Trump Organization. Trump's reliance on Russian money after U.S. banks shut their doors to him is a fact. If you think Trump was unaware of millions of dollars flowing into his properties from Russia, and that he didn't want that money desperately, you may want to stay away from mechanical objects. Indeed, in 2008, greasy Don Jr. told a business conference that "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets." From the horse's ass' mouth.

The investigations will provide hard evidence suitable for solid fraud, money laundering, and criminal conspiracy charges against Trump family members, associates, and probably Trump himself. Bring it on.
