Who put all these guys in jail? The Feds? SDNY?

Why is Trump trying to discredit our criminal and intelligence organizations?

There appears to be a lot 'rotten in Denmark' surrounding Trump; Trump Tower; Russian Mafia; Ukraine; etc.

What the hell is going on just beneath the surface? Why do the Repugs always 'circle the wagons' for Trump? What is the Repug involvement? What do they know? What are they hiding?

VIRAL 'CRIME INFESTED' TRUMP TOWER THREAD DETAILS CONVICTED CRIMINALS, RUSSIAN MOBSTER TENANTS OVER THE YEARS

A now-viral Twitter thread gives a floor-by-floor historical breakdown of convicted and alleged criminals who either rented, owned or hid from law enforcement in Trump's New York City towers.

Beginning with former 2016 Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Twitter user @Zeddary, laid out more than a dozen mobsters, money launderers and tax evaders who have called President Donald Trump's 5th and 1st Avenue namesake towers home over the past several decades. The thread, which has acquired more than 21,000 likes, reveals the extensive list of convicted executives who stayed in Trump Tower as juxtaposition against a "rich and white" U.S. businessman labeling places such as Baltimore and Atlanta "crime infested."

still don't know who this person "Zeddy" is. Are they just a regular person? a journalist? a private eye? This is such a great compilation of tweets. Maybe criminals get a discount on their rent.

Tweets are all from July. Should have been headlines a long time ago.

Where was the NYT on these stories during the 2016 campaign? Voters might have been interested. I'd bet it was fairly common knowledge in NYC that those towers were a den of vipers and thieves.

Why has he been able to get away with not being indicted all these years he's been in the public eye before he stole an election? Reading this thread, he must have been connected to these crimes in one way or another, but they all went to prison/were convicted, etc. except for him. It's not like he's that brilliant or anything or like he kept a low profile during all those years.

Please, someone explain to me how he has been able to skate all these years.

I think San Diego is the only large US city with a lower crime rate (or maybe that was murder/violent crimes?). With Trump gone, I wonder if NYC will be the safest?

What could it be like for normal, law-abiding people to live there? Imagine paying through the nose to end up living next door to murderers and mobsters.

I don’t understand how none of this is more widely known. As Zeddy says, he/she didn’t uncover any of this. I guess because it’s not illegal to own a property where criminals live, the news media didn’t cover it. But there’s such a bizarre pattern here.

every one of the criminals Trump has been involved with. Call a damn press conference and show this to the American people along with all the info on the convicted criminals in his campaign. The fucking president of the USA has made dozens of business deals with convicted felons, and they even live in the same building where he lived prior to the White House.

This twitter post needs to go everywhere.......

Fun fact about Bogatin: He was also a Red Army vet who reportedly spent some time in North Vietnam advising the locals how to shoot down US planes.

No bone spurs for Donald's Russian pals?

Like Trump, he probably did not like American POWs either.
