По иранскому вопросу специализируется другой адвокат Трампа, Руди Джулиани. Вместе с Джоном Болтоном они, не смущаясь, берут деньги у организации иранских моджахеддинов (MEK), ебанутого исламо-марксистского культа, и в ответ обещают привести их к власти после смены режима в Иране.
Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) is a notorious cult-like group of Iranian exiles which appears to have close to literally zero support inside Iran but has for years cultivated significant ties to DC Iran “regime change” advocates as well as a bipartisan list of shills willing to take their money (of which they have quite a lot). It’s an odd group which mixes Islam, Marxism and neocon-inflected DC Pay-to-Play values into a bizarre amalgam run by current cult leader Maryam Rajavi. Until just a few years ago the US State Department listed them as a terrorist organization. They appear to be mainly out of the terrorism business now. But they’re still a treacherous and dangerous group. With all this you’ll be glad to learn that one of their biggest backers is none other than Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton. And perhaps they’re most high profile and ardent supporter (and recipient of their cash) is Rudy Giuliani. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rudy-went-to-albania-to-hang-out-with-a-iran-regime-change-cult-really
Работая в Trump Organization, Майкл Коэн возможно участвовал вместе с Иванкой Трамп в сделке о Trump Tower в Баку на деньги другой славной иранской организации, Стражей исламской революции (IRGC). Письмо демократических сенаторов с требованием расследовать эту сделку осталось без ответа.
A group of leading Senate Democrats today called for a federal investigation into whether President Trump’s business dealings in Azerbaijan may have violated anti-corruption and sanctions laws, and may have served as a channel for money-laundering and other illicit activities tied to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) outlined their concerns in a letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and FBI Director James Comey. Brown, Cardin, and Feinstein are the top Democrats on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee, and the Judiciary Committee, respectively. The Senators’ concerns stem from a recent New Yorker investigative article – “Donald Trump’s Worst Deal” – that chronicles the Trump Organization’s relationship with Azerbaijan’s corrupt Mammadov family in their joint development of the Trump Tower in Baku. According to the article, the Mammadovs have ties to IRGC actors; the IRGC is an elite military force that wields significant economic and political power in Iran. In their letter, the Senators said the article raises questions about whether the Trump Organization may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the possibility that one of the construction entities involved with the Azerbaijani developers of the project may have been a front organization for the IRGC. According to the article, the IRGC may have been the ultimate source of certain payments made to the Trump Organization, which would be a direct violation of US sanctions law. https://www.brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/senators-call-for-investigation-of-trumps-dealings-with-corrupt-oligarch-linked-to-iran
