Whasssup, Elliot Broidy? Yer good pal Najib Razak just got perp walked, oh dear (#1MDB scandal)

From March:

Trump ally reportedly in talks to earn $75 million if he could get the US probe into 1MDB dropped

Elliot Broidy, a republican donor, and his wife Robin Rosenzweig, discussed setting up a consulting contract with Jho Low, who is at the center of the 1MDB scandal.

The contract proposed a $75 million fee for Broidy and his wife if they could get the Justice Department to drop its probe into 1MDB.

The Wall Street Journal reviewed a cache of emails which revealed the connections.

Surprised? No? I didn't think so. Of course, it's all tied into the crooks that trump knows and uses. Hell, trump may have been supposed to get some of that money himself. The wife wss quite the dresser--she rivals Emelda Marcos.
