1. We know there was plenty of criminal behavior with Deutsche Bank.

Tidbits have already come out showing us this.

2. The last he wants is anyone digging around in his business with Deutsche Bank

But Deutsche Bank is not a administration agency under Trump's control or protection. They can't stonewall the way Mnuchin and Barr are. And I'm pretty sure one of the last things they want to do is get on the bad side of the courts when they are probably very vulnerable.

5. You are probably right.

I was reading a couple days ago where a flag had gone up on one of Trumps actions at the bank. Employees had pulled it and they were told to let it go. Those flags were placed for a reason so yes, I imagine that Deutsche Bank is going to do whatever is asked.

7. I think Deutsche Bank is figuring out how high Congress and the courts want them to jump

so they can plan on jumping twice as high

9. Interesting.

We will see. We also thought Mueller would do his job in non partisan fashion, but in claiming he was walking it in nonpartisan, he has done exactly that being unwilling to sit in front of congress and the nation and provide only the facts simply because it shows us how the President has broken the law.

All these people with power, on the Republican side, has failed in doing the right thing.

15. According to one article, the judge cited Judge Mehta's opinion favorably

12. DeutscheBank has every reason to comply with the US Courts

I have a feeling they are deeply sorry to have done any business with the Chump family.

13. Judge Told Trump Attorneys Their Case To Block Subpoenas Isn't 'Serious'

The bench ruling came two days after D.C. federal judge Amit Mehta issued a lengthy and broad opinion denying a similar request from Trump to shut down a Congressional subpoena to his accountant Mazars. In that opinion, Mehta compared Trump’s behavior to that of President Buchanan.

Ramos called Mehta’s opinion “thorough,” and quoted it in his own ruling.

Ramos’s decision came after lengthy and contentious oral arguments, during which the judge took pain to grill both sides.

The private attorney representing Trump at the hearing — Patrick Strawbridge of Consovoy McCarthy Park — stammered as he attempted to respond to an initial volley of questions from Ramos.
