Could it be.....Satan?

More likely . . . Putin.

5. no chance that kid is getting a pardon for something, is there?

[FarPoint]

6. Well....

One can sense Kennedy was made an offer he couldn't refuse....
The famous scene from the Godfather.... with the horses head in media moguls bed.

[yurbud]

7. Mueller better get the ball rolling before our whole house burns to the ground

[pangaia]

10. I don't think the Mueller investigations are going to help at all.

And that is not a knock on him or the investigations..


Rather, we have now lost the justice system..... Oh, a lot of it still functions, but it is bleeding from severed arteries and blood is pumping out with every heart beat..

[yurbud]

18. Democrats looked the other way while Republicans stole everything

and even voted for legislation that enables authoritarian actions.

[shanny]

20. yes they did

and now our leaders are telling us to be civil

[Cha]

44. "Bernie Sanders Defends Sarah Sanders: People Have a Right To Go to a Restaurant for Dinner"

snip//

On MSNBC on Wednesday, former democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders defended White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on the currently dominant political topic of civility in politics.

“Look, as I’ve said before, yeah, I think people have the right to go into a restaurant and have dinner,” said Sanders (Bernie) about Saunders (Sarah) being kicked out of a restaurant with her family over political differences.

Host Kristen Welker was asking the Vermont senator about the lack of civility in general at first, and he said he’s “not a great fan of shouting down people or being rude to people,” but that people have a right to be angry.

Fuck Civility.

[yurbud]

46. I don't agree with anyone 100% of the time.

Bernie is not popular because of his personal style or tactics.

He says and fights for mostly what most Democrats want their elected officials to do.

[Cha]

43. Oh yeah, Fucking Broadbrush our Democratic Party

while you're at it.

[SunSeeker]

66. Sickening, isn't it? The OP reports a shocking newly discovered Trump-Kennedy connection...

And some use it as an opportunity for a broad brush attack on Democrats, lying that Democrats "looked the other way." In essence, they blame the Democrats. This is why we lose. Too many progressives misplace their anger onto Democrats instead of Republicans. Putin must be delighted.

[Cha]

76. They NEVER learn.. it must make them

feel good to still be blaming the Democratic Party for SOMETHING!

Oh yeah trumputin are sporting shit eating grins over all the Propaganda being swallowed up.

I'm just glad to be in the 65 Million People who can't be blamed for trump getting Rigged into Office.

[notdarkyet]

21. We lost it on citizens united. It's all bee rigged and corrupt since then.i

[OhioBlue]

47. yep!

[empedocles]

26. Mueller on it since 2017

[wcmagumba]

8. Looks like...

more insider trading, collusion, conspiracy, obstruction and other usual criminal
activity from this bunch (including Kennedy) which is probably perfectly legal and
not provable as a crime...just another day in oligarch land...

[empedocles]

29. Conspiracy statutes,

assuming at least 1 bedrock foundation criminal case, [which should be possible given the 1001 apparent trump crimes], make it easy to corral, or better yet, intimidate cronies/supporters/Haldeman's , etc.

I too was depressed reading this thread, but my other comments in this thread give me a sense of 'a bit of hope'.

[yurbud]

50. that's probably the hitch with Mueller's investigation

[Me.]

9. He Should've Recused Himself

Perhaps that's why he quit so suddenly after these decisions.

[Lonestarblue]

32. Was Kennedy being pressured to quit now?

I read somewhere recently that both Trump and McConnell have been pressuring Kennedy to quit so they could replace him before any Mueller indictments of Trump or those closest to him see the light of day. I wonder if Trump was threatening his son in some way to get Kennedy to favor Trump cases like the Muslin ban and to force him to quit. Trump likes to have dirt on people, and I’m sure Russia has a lot of dirt on people at Deutsche Bank, the bank facilitating a lot of their money laundering. Curious minds would like to know!

[Me.]

34. Questions Abound

and why is this info coming to the forefront now?

[Midnight Writer]

33. That is my belief. He knew he could not rule on any Trump legal claims, so he left.

He can see the writing on the wall.

[malaise]

11. WTF?

Rec

[Hekate]

12. I wonder what the kompromat is on the son

[rzemanfl]

13. It seems Justice Kennedy took the message being sent about children in jail to heart. n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

74. I suspect none.

The other son bailed Kushner out from that 666 Building disaster. So both sons are involved with Trump, Justice Kennedy may have been an witting pawn who was given on offer he can't refuse.

We are seeing the trump and Kushner adult children all clumping together to duplicate what their fathers did, except these fathers happen to be mob men.

It's all getting very Shakespearean. .

[Hekate]

77. Maybe we'll get lucky that way

If you know what I mean.

[VOX]

14. It's one big fucking cozy club.

And we ain’t in it. (With apologies to the late George Carlin.)

[kentuck]

15. No shit?!

Maybe Anthony Kennedy's son has become part of the Russia investigation?

[Leghorn21]

16. And just for fun - the guy sitting behind Cohen (to viewer's left) was a Deutsche Bank exec.

“....Jerry Rotonda is a former Deutsche Bank executive who served as CFO for the company’s wealth management division.

Though it is unclear whether Rotonda had any direct involvement in business deals with Trump, Deutsche Bank has backed Trump development projects. Deutsche Bank lent the Trump Organization more than $300 million for real estate transactions before Trump became president, ABC News has previously reported. The bank helped finance a number of Trump’s high-profile developments, including the renovation of the Old Post Office in Washington, the purchase of the Doral golf course in Florida and the construction of an office building in Chicago....”

[NCjack]

17. The "fix" was always in play at SCOTUS, and we were ignorant of that. nt

[burrowowl]

19. I am discouraged

not to mention Clarence Thomas, etc.

[empedocles]

22. Quick net search indicates many investigations are on this

The thread original source appears to be the respected, international Financial Times company. The Guardian, US news networks, mags, etc. on this connection
Have not noticed any US news nets mentioning it yet.
Most importantly, Mueller has been on deutsche trump since last year. Deutsche Bank is in it deep, has paid huge fines, invesigations on many fronts ongoing.

Fortunately, trump has sued Deutsche, and that has revealed some things.

Justin Kennedy's, or Justice Kennedy's phone tapped, etc.? By US allies, hostile to trump? Seems that has happened before. Plus trump on his open cell phone. . .

Can the plot 'thicken much more?'

Time for a gin an tonic here and sleep.

[Uncle Joe]

24. So much incest it boggles the mind.

Thanks for the thread dixiegrrrrl

[dalton99a]

25. Kick

[lunasun]

27. Greed. A lot of the US current problems have to do with greed

[Ilsa]

28. Wasn't another son working with Jr on real estate deals?

It sounded like jr was helping Kennedy. Maybe it is the same one.

[dixiegrrrrl]

72. Yeah. The real estate son is Justin, who helped Kushner out, it appears:

Kushner had that 666 Building that was losing money and threatened to bankrupt Kushner.

LNR Property, the company whose CEO at the time was Justin Kennedy, bailed him out.

[Blue Owl]

30. a trader for the traitor

n/t

[Ilsa]

31. Don't worry everyone. Sen. Manchin is on it!

[C_U_L8R]

35. That explains a lot.

Why didn't anyone say anything before?
Media must have known. Congressfolks must have known.
Heck even Trump's primary competitors must have known.
How much more is not being said about Trump and
his nefarious dealings?

[madaboutharry]

36. It is like the intertwined webs you read about in spy novels.

The layers of corruption are a thousand feet thick. Imagine for a moment all that we don't know.

[dixiegrrrrl]

40. What's interesting about the current web/webs

is that what appear to be a LOT of different moving parts can actually be linked back to just a few dozen people behind them, all of whom are connected.
There was a nice chart that showed this:

[klook]

52. Thanks for the link. Always follow the money. (nt)

[Crash2Parties]

37. Pre-election Deutsche Bank had loaned Trump $300-450 million *that we knew of*.

[UTUSN]

38. K&R

[Raastan]

39. And we are just learning about this now?!

How was this not brought up during the primaries??!!

[oasis]

41. Kick and rec.

[Cha]

42. SHITE legacy for AK

[Dem_4_Life]

45. OMG!!!

Hopefully his son is part of the Mueller investigation. Trumps dark mofia web is never ending.

[triron]

48. Where is msnbc? Or CNN?

[Hugin]

49. Holy cripes!

Either Kennedy's slot should remain unfilled or anyone entering it should have to recuse themselves from any Trump related cases.

[gordianot]

51. An excellent example of an old saying I used to keep in my bill fold.

If you think you really think you know what is going on you are full of.......

Trump didn't just get up one morning and happen. Given how many times he went broke, lied on his income sources and failed all the while showing signs of mental distress; someone or something gave him a pass. They let it happen in spite of committing treason with agents who were considered America's mortal enemy.

The only thing I know for sure is not to believe a word that comes out of Trump's mouth or trust anyone or anything associated with him.

[Achilleaze]

53. republicans are a criminal operation

stink stink stink

[EndGOPPropaganda]

54. And son is Fed Soc official

Fed Soc is the billionaire-funded propaganda organization that selects and promotes the few pro-billionaire law students. And they now have four judges on the court: Alito Thomas Roberts Gorsuch. And one more is coming.


We need to start realizing that conservative jurisprudence is a fraud corrupted by billionaire cash.

[onecent]

56. Isn't this something that Mueller can take care of????

[CanonRay]

57. This is who runs the fucking world, boys and girls.

I am not in the least shocked.

[lark]

58. OMG, more proof how Russian Repugs are truly a thing & have been for a long time.

I just wasn't aware of it before drumpf made it so glaringly obvious. I knew repugs were traitors to our country and beholden only to oligarchs, but I didn't realize that the top of their barrel when it comes to oligarchs is Putin and that he is now pulling all the strings.

[mfcorey1]

59. It all comes out in the wash!!!

[IronLionZion]

60. When Mueller finally indicts these criminals, Trump appointed judges will be on the court

and should all be thrown out or recused

[MineralMan]

61. Conflict of Interest Writ Large!

This needs to be broadcast far and wide.

[disndat]

62. AMEN. nt.

[chesterslick]

63. Let's not turn into Fox News!

While interesting, this is hardly an ethical breach .

[SunSeeker]

65. The OP is reporting a FACT. How is that like Fox News?

[chesterslick]

81. Does this rise to the level of ethical breach?

.... If not, it is manufactured outrage.

[SunSeeker]

84. Follow the money. nt

[chesterslick]

85. Yes, yes... for every debit there is a credit!

... You have officially "jumped the shark."

No mas...

[SunSeeker]

86. You betcha. That is how quid pro quo works.

And no, nobody here has "jumped the shark." But your concern is duly noted.

[dixiegrrrrl]

68. Deutsch bank is reported tohave been laundering money via loans to Trump

Sounds pretty unethical to me.
Your standards may differ.

[chesterslick]

82. I will wait for inditements to make that determination.....

[Raster]

69. just waking up, are we?

[chesterslick]

83. No, I refuse to howl at the moon!

[onecent]

64. How will Mueller find this out????

[dixiegrrrrl]

71. One of his several investigations is about the money laundering angle.

Plus, it has been in the news before this.

Buzzfeed did an excellent article:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/tomwarren/how-deutsche-processed-millions-for-a-dirty-bank?utm_term=.go4VXqpDX#.dlKDe6W5e

And there are stories going back to 2014 about banks involved in money laundering.

[onecent]

75. Thank you Dixiegrrrrl

[cp]

67. K&R

[KPN]

70. Impeach both of them now!! Impeach Kennedy -- don't let the fucker

resign honorably. Impeach Trump NOW!!!!

I know -- unrealistic pipedream, but that's the way I feel right about now.

[rumble]

73. All the pieces are coming together. Mueller should impeach Kennedy.

[dlk]

78. The Fix is In

[luvallpeeps]

79. as floored as I am

the other half of me is not even slightly surprised.

[R B Garr]

80. You just can't make this stuff up.

No wonder Mueller needs more time. No wonder Kennedy quit.
