#Jewish protesters flood #TrumpTower's lobby to demand the #ColumbiaUniversity #activist's release

by Cedar Attanasio, AP, 3/13/2025

New York — "Demonstrators from a Jewish group filled the lobby of #TrumpTower on Thursday to denounce the immigration arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a #ProPalestinian activist who helped lead protests against #Israel at Columbia University.

"The demonstrators from Jewish Voice for Peace wore red shirts reading 'Jews say stop arming Israel' and held up banners as they chanted 'Bring Mahmoud home now!' on the lower level of the Fifth Avenue building's public atrium.

"After warning the protesters to leave, police said they arrested 98 people who stayed on various charges, including trespassing, obstruction and resisting arrest.

"Khalil, a 30-year-old permanent U.S. resident who is married to an American citizen and who hasn't been charged with breaking any laws, was arrested outside his New York City apartment Saturday and faces deportation. He's being held at an immigration detention center in Louisiana."

Trump Towers aan de Gavièra

Wat een *BRILJANTE* business opportunity! En nog win-win (*) ook!

(*) Er zíjn een paar verliezers, maar dankzij *betalende* Europeanen en Russen (vaak dronken, gewoon harder op inhakken, maar economisch VÉLE MALEN aantrekkelijker dan USAid behoevende Palestijnen) zullen gammele tenten op het strand worden vervangen door lekker liggende strandstoelen onder kleurige parasols.

Nb. vette witte dikbuikmannen en (al dan niet blote) hangtieten, c.q. kunstmatige plofuiers, leiden tot veel tevredener aandeelhouders dan zwarte hoofddoeken...

Met "dank" aan #AIPAC en #UNWatch die in de #VervuildeStaten aan de touwtjes trekken.

"By June 1990, #Trump was heavily in #debt. He owed banks and bondholders $3.4 billion, “nearly all of it high-interest debt.” His father’s money helped bail him out. Then came #TheApprentice... everyone involved knew they were creating #fiction — even the conference rooms at #TrumpTower were so dilapidated that they had to be faked — but to millions of #Americans, the fiction became more real than the truth."

Days after mysterious FBI raid on #Russian’s #Trump Towers III unit, the reason is revealed

By Jay Weaver
Updated May 16, 2023

"Last Thursday, a squad of FBI special agents, assisted by local police, descended on #TrumpTower III at 15811 Collins Ave. to carry out a search of unit 4102. It’s owned by a similarly named shell company, MIC-USA LLC, that is controlled by two Russian businessmen, Patsulya and Agunda Konstantinovna Makeeva, according to state corporation records. Makeeva was not arrested in connection with the Justice Department’s crackdown.

[...]

"If convicted the two Russians faced up to 20 years in prison for violating the export laws and up to 20 years in prison for conspiring to commit international money laundering.

[...]

"Before becoming president in 2016, Trump signed a deal with the developers of the 45-story condo buildings to name the property after him to help promote sales. Foreign buyers, especially from Latin America and Russia, flocked to Trump Towers, as they did with other Trump-branded properties in Sunny Isles Beach."

#Blanche, predictably, is blaming #AllenWeisselberg, fmr CFO of the #TrumpOrganization, for designing #MichaelCohen's reimbursements for the #HushMoney payment. Cohen had said that #Trump signed off on their payment scheme in a Jan 2017 meeting at #TrumpTower. Blanche got close to discussing that key testimony, but moved on.

There’s a lot about Weisselberg this morning. He’s currently in #jail for #perjury, & is one of a few people mentioned repeatedly who won’t testify.

3 months later, MichaelCohen was back in federal court to plead guilty once again. That time, he accepted responsibility for lying to #Congress about plans to build a #TrumpTower in #Moscow, #Russia saying he did so out of loyalty to #Trump.

His loyalty faded in 2018 when authorities zeroed in on Cohen, & Trump threw him under the bus. Cohen is now the star witness in this #criminal trial, which centers on a #HushMoney deal.
