From NYT article:
"The bank recruited a handful of Goldman Sachs traders to lead a push into commercial real estate. One was Justin Kennedy, the son of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy."
snip
"Over the next few years, the commercial real estate group, with Mr. Kennedy now in a senior role, kept lending to Mr. Trump, including to buy the General Motors building in Manhattan. Occasionally, Justice Kennedy stopped by Deutsche Banks offices to say hello to the team, executives recalled."
How does this all tie in? Anyone remember the particulars better than I do? I remember it was like Kennedy in effect chose K to be his replacement but don't recall the details. Just how thick is this plot line?

I remember reading about it before the Kavanaugh hearings. Stephanie Ruhle, on MSNBC Velsh and Ruhle, mentioned it on her show too. She knows of Kennedy's son from her business background and connections and defended his character. I think the SCOTUS spot was the second one stolen from us. This really needs to be checked out by the Dems in Congress now that we have clout.

He deserves to be removed, however its accomplished. But there are legitimate reasons for a bank looking to move into American market to loan someone a like trump a loan. And it started long before anyone considered trump a viable candidate. Theres plenty of chit to get trump on that hes done recently and is directly involved with the 2016 election.
