โ10% for the big guyโ never happened. Not something I ever sent, said, or pushed for.
Start here. This was 2017. My dad was a private citizen. Out of office. No matter how you read that line, there is nothing remotely illegal or unethical about it.
The senders reveal the deeper story. That line was the musings of Tony Bobulinski and James Gilliar. Wishful thinking on their part, unbeknownst to me at the time, to bring my dad in and counter what they saw as competition for CEFC money.
That competition? Steve Witkoff. Who did over a billion dollars with CEFC in deals at the time. A Vegas casino. New York properties. A Miami hotel.
Yes. The same Steve Witkoff now out there with Jared Kushner leading the Middle East peace and redevelopment deal.
I, however, never went forward with Tony or James the two people who proposed 10% and my Dad was never even remotely involved.
Go read Rob Walkers testimony before House oversight under oath who said that the 10% email sent to me was purely โwishful thinkingโ on Tonyโs part.
Attached below is an email chain from Tony Bubolinski to James Gillir explaining the entire origin of the email.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isnโt a good guy looking out for Americaโs best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didnโt hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. Itโs like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things weโre told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
Thatโs the joke.
