Yachts of Trump financial backer, Russian oligarch seen close together
Source: Palm Beach Post
The coincidences are piling up.
Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev last week disavowed any contact with President Donald Trump.
But speculation again was stoked when his state-of-the-art yacht Anna sat anchored in the British Virgin Islands on Friday night and another equally resplendent luxury liner, the Sea Owl, sidled up, according to a website that tracks the movement of yachts.
After disavowing any contact with President Donald Trump this past week, Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlevs state-of-the-art yacht Anna sat anchored in the British Virgin Islands on Friday night when another equally resplendent luxury liner, the Sea Owl, sidled up, according to a website that tracks the movement of yachts.
The owner of the dark-hulled yacht? President Donald Trumps biggest financial supporter and Breitbart News moneyman, Robert Mercer.

Coincidentally, Rybolovlev is the same guy who bought Trump's mansion and paid him more than 30 million dollars over the market value at the time.
Also Rybolovlev's private plane was seen last fall at airports in cities around the country the same days that Trump's campaign had stops at those locations, in October in Las Vegas, in November in Charlotte NC and there have been reports of more.

"Trump, Russian billionaire say theyve never met, but their jets did in Charlotte"
BY KEVIN G. HALL, ADAM BELL, RICK ROTHACKER AND GREG GORDON
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/latest-news/article137170553.html#storylink=cpy
Brian Cattell, recently hired (owns public relations firm in NYC) who issues all the statements for Rybolovlev is a British Oxford- educated conservative politician/political advisor who started his business career in Eastern Europe and has Breitbart connection.
Very disturbing to think that right wing extremist billionaire Mercers who own Breitbart and are behind Bannon and Conway, are likely colluding with billionaire Russian Rybolovlev to further their shared political agenda.

(70,502 posts)Rybolovlev paid Trump 60 million $s over the asking price for Trump's property
in Florida. Rybolovlev then bulldozed the house Trump had built shortly after he
bought the property and then sold off the land.
Rybolovlev's plane not only showed up @ some airports where Trump's plane was
but it also was in Bulgaria when Ivanka and Putin's girl friend Wendy Deng were
having a meet up and then later it was in Prague when Trump's lawyer Michael
Cohen was supposed to be meeting with a Russian linked to Putin last September.
