“Democrats on the House Intelligence and Financial Services committees have subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and multiple other banks seeking information about President Donald Trump’s finances ‘and the lenders business dealings with Russians’…”

“Paging Justice Kennedy, Justice Anthony Kennedy, please pick up the white courtesy phone.”

I wonder if trump will actually hear the political/metaphorical “bullet” with his name on it…

Perhaps it will emanate from Deutsche Bank.

If Chump and his ill-favoured gang of legal beagles are spending all their time running around trying to (is quash the right word?) subpoenas…they won’t have as much time to devote to other ratflogging. They can’t stop them all I am guessing.

That will leave a mark, going after Trump’s finances is what enrages him, because he knows he is exposed there. I think there was a bit of distraction as well by the Democrats here, getting everyone to focus on the taxes while they put this together as a surprise. It won’t stop people from demanding “Subpoenas for everyone or the Democrats are weak!!!”, but it shows there is a coordinated plan going on to get as much information as they can about the financial details and see if they can uncover Trump’s money laundering past.

Remember, Deutsch Bank paid a hefty US fine for laundering Russian mafia money. It is alleged Trump Org has a lot of debt with this bank. Spawn 2 says they get a lot of money from Russia. Wonder if any dots can be connected? Cheeto Jesus is going to wish he never entered politics.

My first thought as well.

Oh, how I hope this envelopes Kennedy’s kid and, of course, Daddy Kennedy himself. I would loooooooove for both of them to be tried and convicted of whatever crimes possible.

A guy like Trump is going to present lots of opportunities to get information about him from their parties like Deutsche Bank. The third parties will fight to keep from turning over the documents, because they fear the power of the president, but in the end, the Democrats will get them.

Further thought: If the DOJ gets involved, Dems should scream bloody murder. Trump’s dealings with the bank have nothing to do with Trump’s presidential duties.

The House Financial Services Committee — Chaired by One Maxine Waters. The one Dipstick constantly calls “Low IQ.” Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan Chase and Bank Of America are “engaged in productive discussions” about the Congressional subpoenas.

That sound you hear is Rep. Waters signing subpoenas with one hand while putting a sensible yet fashionable high heel in Donnie’s groin. Savor the subtle power moves of Auntie Maxine, ladies and gentlemen.

All this is very good and bracing news. But with DOJ leadership corrupted, who will enforce a contempt of Congress citation when invariably parties refuse to cooperate? The Deutsche Bank response is troublingly duplicitous. Where’s the “fully cooperating” bit?

Yes, obduracy and prevarication looks bad and there’s the court of public opinion, but when has that lot ever cared about it.

I hope Trump’s lawyers kept a Word doc or Google doc of that letter they sent to his accounting firm. Sounds like they’re going to need to send some more of those “We demand you break the law to protect the president” letters.

Apparently, during Justin Kennedy’s tenure in DB, he was responsible for approx. $1B loans to Individual1.

How did Justin Kennedy manage the risk in granting loans to Individual1, since Individual1’s financial statements does NOT add up ie inflated assets and omitted other loans, not conforming to GAAP or IRS valuation methods?

Was Justin Kennedy putting the shareholders of DB at risk by approving very risky loans?

Just wondering…

A spokesperson for Deutsche Bank told the Times the bank was “engaged in a productive dialogue” with the committees.

As long as that dialogue produces documents and testimony, I’m OK with it.
