Maddow talking about all the money Trump is making off being Pres. Also if you follow the money

[riversedge]

as related to Trump--you find corruption each time. good show

[elleng]

1. Deutche Bank, etc.

[riversedge]

3. yes. Deutche bank holds many trump secrets.

[riversedge]

2. talking about how will do and has done anything to not reveal his taxes-finances.

[elleng]

4. Yes, oral argument @ Supremes soon.

[Jeebo]

5. She's nailing it!

What a despicable con man we have in the White House.

-- Ron

[tishaLA]

6. I was glad she brought up tRump's sister

leaving the federal bench to avoid the ethics investigation. That didn't get nearly enough coverage, but with the blizzard of crimes under this regime, almost nothing gets enough coverage because there's not enough time in the day.

7. Betcha Orangie is having a really bad night! Emergency meeting of Federal Judges tomorrow, all this

$$ dirt Rachel is digging up, his buddy AG 's resignation is being demanded. As much as he tries to ignore all this crap, he's surrounded and suddenly has no friends.

[Mersky]

8. She's featuring the work of NYT finance editor, David Enrich

His recent article:

The Money Behind Trump’s Money
The inside story of the president and Deutsche Bank, his lender of last resort.

One reason all these files could be so illuminating is that the bank’s relationship with Trump extended well beyond making simple loans. ­Deutsche Bank managed tens of millions of dollars of Trump’s personal assets. The bank also furnished him with other services that have not previously been reported: providing sophisticated financial instruments that shielded him from risks and outside scrutiny, and making introductions to wealthy Russians who were interested in investing in Western real estate. If Trump cheated on his taxes, ­Deutsche Bank would probably know. If his net worth is measured in millions, not billions, ­Deutsche Bank would probably know. If he secretly got money from the Kremlin, ­Deutsche Bank would probably know.

And she’s going through advance tidbits of his new book, Dark Towers.

[underthematrix]

9. She's reviewing DARK TOWERS by David Enrich. I pre-ordered

the book and will start listening to it at 12:01am. I love investigative journalism.

David Enrich on now.

[riversedge]

10. I recall during the primary how trump repeated over and over that he had no connections

to russia. then we find out he did--and via Deutche bank also--and nothing has happened. trump being a crook is ok

[underthematrix]

12. Yep. These are mob crime families.

[Taraman]

16. Trump is a Russian asset

[dchill]

18. Yes. And he has no choice.

Not that he cares.

[underthematrix]

25. Agent not asset

Agents swear an oath to the adversary. I think TRump denounced his U.S. citizenship for rubles.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. He's grifting in so many ways that it doesn't even matter that he's not taking a salary

but we don't even know FOR SURE if he is or isn't- and probably wouldn't be able to easily find out if he is.

[sarcasmo]

13. Follow the money (If you can)

[redstateblues]

14. Anxiety producing. Who's gonna do something about it?

[tishaLA]

15. So it does talk about Anthony Kennedy's son

and the Kavanaugh thing. I need to read that book

[Jeebo]

17. The House needs to subpoena Tammy McFadden...

...and hear her testimony under oath. It sounds like she would be more than willing to tell them what she knows.

-- Ron

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Negative on that. One crime only

[Mira]

19. Rachel needs a body guard

I worry

[yaesu]

20. the next pres should void dead man walking's medal of freedom & give one to Maddow. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. I love it! But we aren't going to do anything about it.

Not sure what's more frustrating. Did she talk about how the emoluments suit got thrown out? House members couldn't file. Haven't heard why they didn't know that? And who can file.

[woodsprite]

23. I think it was the House could file, but as individuals, they couldn't because they couldn't

prove they (as individuals) were sustaining damage from him violating the emoluments clause. I think it was a set-back, but not thrown out.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Thanks. You are saying the House as an entity can file?

Agree no damages individually. Who is damaged? Steve Cohen D-TN had both foreign and domestic emolument clause violations in his November 2017 articles of impeachment.
