In 2008, while Manafort was working in Ukraine for Yanukovych, Firtashā€™s company Group DF agreed to commit $112M to Manafortā€™s vision for ā€œBulgari Tower,ā€ a $1.5 billion skyscraper project in midtown Manhattan on the corner of Park Avenue & 56th Street.

Have fun with Orban, ask him how Putin's doing. Maybe he can give you tips on using anti-Semitism & homophobia to cement political power, which he learned from GOP strategist & Jewish gay man Arthur Finkelstein, may he rest in pugnacity.

"...as [Dmitry] Firtashā€™s foreign agent, Davis said his firm was being paid $80,000 a month ā€” or about a million dollars a year ā€” by a man described by prosecutors as an ā€œupper-echelonā€ associate of Russian organized crime."

Russian MOB.
" Although Davis lists his past controversial clients in Africa and Honduras on his website, Firtashā€™s name is noticeably absent. Davis hardly ever talks about Firtash, at least not on the record,"

WHY NOT?
"...even though Justice Department filings make it clear that [Lanny] and his colleagues at Davis, Goldberg & Galper frequently contact D.C. journalists about Firtash to pitch stories, issue statements and press releases, or to respond to questions."
