She said (paraphrasing) she's not worried because there's no problem with what the Trump Organization did with Russia, and it's not like they were dealing with Iran.
That front company, Azarpassillo, is owned by the sanctioned Khatam Al-Anbia, the construction arm of the IRGC. The IRGC famously used these fronts to launder money and to purchase components for WMD.
The folks at Azarpassillo were, specifically, part of the IRGC air force division tasked with illegally acquiring missile guidance systems. The Trump Org admitted that they learned by mid-2015 that the Mammadovs were likely part of this WMD/money laundering front.
They continued to work with them through the entire election. When I asked why they didn't drop the Mammadovs as clients, they said they couldn't because they had a contract. Pro tip: you can't knowingly work with sanctions violating $ launderers b/c you have a contract.
Not one word of this stream is contested by anybody. I will never understand how this isn't bigger news. The President of the United States knowingly participated in a likely money-laundering/WMD-acquiring scheme with the worst part of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
