This video is from 1996. (h/t @clearing_fog).

Trump, Lorber, LeBow, and Leon Black are in Moscow pursuing a real estate venture that didn't go anywhere.

Tax returns from 1995 show that this was a financial low point for Trump. It's also three years before Putin comes to power.

Leon Black had a very cosy financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which the reporting below provides more details on. He's also pals with Deripaska.

1996 is also two years after Trump raped a 13-year-old at Epstein's NYC residence. https://twitter.com/davidenrich/status/1353821782529159169?s=19

As outlined in @sarahkendzior's "Hiding in Plain Sight", Mogilevich was years into his US operations by then.

In 1992, he bribed a Russian judge to release Vyacheslav Ivankov, who "went on to consolidate a crime network and launder money" from the comfort of Trump Tower.

By 1995 Mogilevich had illicit businesses running out of NYC, Philadelphia, and Miami.

This was also around the time Trump turned Mar-a-Lago into a private club.

In 1999, Maxwell recruited a spa attendant for sexual abuse. Epstein was a member until 2007.

Mogilevich had indirect ties to Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell.

Her father Robert had helped him secure an Israeli passport a few years before his death.

@LincolnsBible has a thread connecting a lot of these dots here https://twitter.com/LincolnsBible/status/987405131170824192?s=19

The most frustrating part about this whole affair is how obvious it all is.

Trump's Russian Mob ties are well documented. His ties to known sex traffickers is also well documented.

We deserve some answers on why our officials and the media keep ignoring these connections.
