The smoke may be from Russia, but the fire is from Azerbaijan.

Just wait till that shoe drops. This Donald Jr. thing pales in comparison...

3. That is the country where Trump built that hotel in nowhere land. Basically a scam.

Ivanka was part of that project. Also the Agralovs father and son were somehow involved. Tbe same duo who set up the meeting through Goldstone with Junior.

And also that agaralov son was married to the president of Azerbaijan's daughter.

I'm sure there was a lot of shady stuff Trump's did there.

4. Donald Trumps Worst Deal

The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

'Heeydar Aliyev Prospekti, a broad avenue in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, connects the airport to the city. The road is meant to highlight Baku’s recent modernization, and it is lined with sleek new buildings. The Heydar Aliyev Center, an undulating wave of concrete and glass, was designed by Zaha Hadid. The state oil company is housed in a twisting glass tower, and the headquarters of the state water company looks like a giant water droplet. “It’s like Potemkin,” my translator told me. “It’s only the buildings right next to the road.” Behind the gleaming structures stand decaying Soviet-era apartment blocks, with clothes hanging out of windows and wallboards exposed by fallen brickwork.

As you approach the city center, a tower at the end of the avenue looms in front of you. Thirty-three stories high and curved to resemble a sail, the building was clearly inspired by the Burj Al Arab Hotel, in Dubai, but it is boxier and less elegant. When I visited Baku, in December, five enormous white letters glowed at the top of the tower: T-R-U-M-P.'>>>
