Iā€™d love to DBā€™s records on Trumpclan, but what is the legal justification for the request?

And yet more evidence that itā€™s not the speculated Trump team collusion with Russia to influence the election, but rather the less glamorous, but no less felonious, money-laundering thatā€™s going to bring these clowns down.

Edit: Remember, boys and girls, Trump and most of his team are not ideologues. Theyā€™re grifters.

And the irony is their grifting would have remained in the shadows if they had stayed out of politics

They seem to be genuinely surprised by the unwanted scrutiny.

The real joy will come if we all discover that the Trump financial empire is actually a hollow shell with virtually no net worth, as some have speculated (Josh Marshall among them).

Nice going, but thereā€™s no way that the bank will give up the records short of a subpoena. And it might not respond unless and until the House moves to hold it in contempt. No bank wouldā€“banks have to protect their customers.

I wonder what the fine print in the bankā€™s settlement with the DOJ on mortgage fraud included?

Maybe there is something in their agreement that puts them on the hook to provide information readily when requested.

Trump says there is no evidence of any wrong doing, and he fired the guy investigating it and tried to manipulate the investigators just to be sure it stays that way. Now he will have to call the banks to threaten them too. The Art of the Clumsy Coverup

It coninues to be remarkable to me that while Trump was attracted to the status and power of being president, he never understood the constant hyper-visibility that goes with the office. Of course, it is obvious that he also thought that he could farm out most of the responsibilities while enjoying the parts that he liked.

Maybe no legal standing. However, Deutsche Bank may have the foresight to consider the Chairman of the House Banking Committee could make life hell after the 2018 midterms.

Iā€™ve been saying that for months, and itā€™s going to involve many more people than the Russia probe. I cannot wait to see Wilbur Ross in jail.
