    Deutsche Bank receives subpoena from Mueller on Trump accounts

    Special Counsel Robert Mueller has asked Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) to share data on accounts held by U.S. President Donald Trump and his family, a person close to the matter said on Tuesday.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...eid=47e367557b

    IIRC, DB lent Trash $400M when US banks blackballed Trash after his repeated bankruptcies (defaulted on bank loans)

    If Pootin lent the money to DB, then DB lent the "laundered" money to Trash, of course telling Trash that Pootin was the source was so Trash knew who had him by the balls.

    I would like to hear Darrins thoughts, since he thinks the FBI is politicized because one agent had an opinion, what does Darrin think about Trump's own CIA director stating that he loved Wikileaks?

    Yes.




    And Yes.


    I will get back.
    Good exercise.
    Gotta shower
    Gotta eat
    Gotta watch my Spurs.
    Brevity, and concise properly ordered arguments, are not my forte on an iPad and sports forum.

    I will address all in a more complete fashion later today as work calls.

    1st yes: Not even consulting the other party and using a procedure that assures a 50/50 split vote was extraordinary. But not now, as in under the Trump admin. There was a clear reason for 60 votes. It was good reasoning IMO. It allowed for legislation to take a while (not good) and be thoroughly debated for possible unintended outcomes. The later has been cir vented by writing in the margins. Now the Republicans totally own mistakes. Bad mistakes made in a margin writing rush to just pass anything. The same could not be said for Obamacare as it was very contentiously put out for the public and passed with known errors. Later on this with the taxes and affect on O care.

    2nd yes: Will center around this theme.

    This is scattershot in who benefits and loses. You can talk averages if you want, but this really depends on specific situations. Not in question, Huge deficits. Republicans now own this. More later.

    Next: what Obamacre has done so far in the health of our country and how this bill will change how "we" are taken care of.

    I will return. F'N spell check has gone nuts...

    I agree, but only works if they turn them on
    And if convictions come when abuses are registered.

    I think he’s changed his tune on Wikileaks.

    You didn't answer the question. Why would the CIA Director ever embrace a foreign agent of an adversary?

    An internal investigation carried out by Deutsche Bank didn’t yield any evidence of connections between the client relationship with Trump and the bank’s so-called Russian mirror trades affair, a person briefed on the matter said.

    Deutsche Bank's record of internal investigations is sterling and unquestionable.

    I don't think Trump would be involved in the mirror trades anyway -- there were clearly other way to launder Russian money through his businesses.

    BTW, ever get the balls to state your Flynn theory without your questions three games?

    It's not in the least bit extraordinary. McConnell has been pulling his hyper partisan crap for the last nine years. No, this is normal. Maybe not historically, but this is normal judging by the last nine years. The Republican party has done nothing but encourage McConnell. No one in his right mind should be surprised McConnell's passing this with 50 votes when this piece of left a supreme court seat vacant for a year because he decided the president doesn't have the authority to nominate candidates any more.

    Fox fans seethe after learning Mueller’s probe has cost $6.7 million — or roughly 7 Trump Mar-a-Lago trips



    Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office on Tuesday released its first expense report, which showed that the probe so far has cost taxpayers $6.7 million.
    Per The Hill,

    Mueller’s probe so far has paid out $3.2 million in direct and reimbursed expenditures —

    including $1.7 million in salary and benefits — and

    $3.5 million in expenditures “attributable to the investigations” themselves.


    Fox News wrote up its own report on Mueller’s expenses so far with the headline, “Mueller’s Russia probe spent nearly $7M in first few months” — which quickly drew the ire of many of its fans on Twitter who consider the investigation to be a waste of taxpayer funds.


    However, the Mueller probe’s total expenses match up roughly with what the U.S. government spent on President Donald Trump’s trips to his own Mar-a-
    Lago resort in Florida over the first six months of his presidency.


    As the Washington Post reported earlier this year, the U.S. Coast Guard spent $6.6 million protecting Mar-a-Lago during the president’s visits there in the first half of this year,

    which is roughly what Mueller has spent so far to secure an indictment of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a guilty plea from former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.


    Nonetheless, the president’s supporters were outraged at Mueller’s purportedly pricey probe

    Mueller crosses Trash’s ‘red line’

    Deutsche Bank has been asked to hand over data on accounts held by Trump and his family.

    Trump has a two-decades-long relationship with Deutsche Bank.

    During the 1990s, a string of bankruptcies — including the infamous Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City — made him toxic to most investors on Wall Street.

    Deutsche Bank was one of the few exceptions, loaning him

    more than $4 billion over 20 years, including a $640 million loan for the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago — which he fell behind on payments for.

    Between 2012 and 2015, Trump also borrowed over $300 million for hotels in Chicago, Washington D.C., and a Florida golf course.


    Trump’s family is involved with Deutsche Bank as well.

    In July, the New York Timesreported that Jared Kushner’s former family business, Kushner Companies, had received a $285 million loan form Deustche Bank in 2016.

    Ivanka Trump is also reported to be a client.

    Deutsche Bank, however, also has been in lawmakers’ crosshairs for its shady Russian ties.

    This year the bank has paid more than $670 million in civil penalties

    to regulators in both the U.S. and U.K.

    over allegations that

    it missed red flags

    in a trading scheme that allowed wealthy Russians to launder billions of dollars out of Moscow.

    Did White House Counsel Don McGahn Know Mike Flynn Misled The FBI? If So, How?

    what appears to be discrepancy between McGahn’s account of their conversations, and what Yates and others close to her have said.

    A key question is whether McGahn informed Trump — before Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey — that Flynn had given a false account to the FBI about discussing sanctions in a phone call with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and if so, how McGahn drew that inference.

    Yates, who Trump fired from the DOJ for not defending his travel ban, said pointedly in congressional testimony under oath that she did discuss with McGahn the content of Flynn’s FBI interview. Other sources backed up that claim in the Washington Post’s and CNN’s most recent reports.


    Yet, Trump’s personal attorney, John Dowd, told the Washington Post that

    Yates indicated to McGahn that the FBI received “the same story [Flynn] gave the vice president.”

    Dowd said Yates stopped short of accusing Flynn of lying to the FBI.


    “For some reason, the Department didn’t want to make an accusation of lying,” Dowd told the Post.

    “The agents thought Flynn was confused.”

    An unnamed source described as “familiar with the matter” told CNN that based on McGahn’s conversation with Yates,

    McGahn told Trump that he believed Flynn had misled the FBI as well as Pence.
