Trump Hotel in Baku tied to Iranian Terror Group and Azerbaijan oligarchs

The hotel has no roads leading to it and it seems to have been built to launder money for
Iranian terrorists and Azerbaijan crooks.

Newsweek‘s Kurt Eichenwald reported in September that Trump’s financial filings show he’s partners in the Baku deal with the son of Azerbaijan’s transportation minister.

U.S. officials believe that official, Ziya Mammadov, laundered money for the Iranian military, although no formal charges were brought against him or his son, Anar Mammadov — who is Trump’s partner in the Baku hotel venture.

The New Yorker examined Trump’s ties to Ziya Mammadov — one of the wealthiest and most powerful oligarchs in one of the world’s most corrupt nations — and his brother, Elton Mammadov, an influential member of the Azerbaijani parliament, who signed contracts for the project and founded Baku XXI Century, which owns the tower.

The Mammadov family, described by Foreign Policy magazine as “The Corleones of the Caspian,” has a reputation for using their government positions to enrich themselves and their partners — which includes construction firms tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

Is it true the DNC would not allow the FBI access to check server or other equipment after learning it was hacked? Can that be possible?

I think the Washington Eximiner is kind of right wing but the story is worth posting.
