the Anthony Kennedy retirement was dirty, and Ivanka was involved

Book reveals Trump effort to get Kennedy to step aside for Kavanaugh


Family coordinated charm offensive to convince ageing supreme court justice to retire.

"The Trump family carried out a “coordinated White House charm offensive” to persuade Anthony Kennedy, a swing vote on the supreme court, to retire and clear the way for Brett Kavanaugh, according to a forthcoming book."


"In Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an Epic Trail of Destruction, David Enrich, the finance editor of the New York Times, describes how the German bank became the last major financial institution willing to lend to Donald Trump’s repeatedly defaulting business empire."


"Long before Trump ran for the White House, Justice Kennedy’s son, Justin, worked as an investment banker at Deutsche. Enrich describes how he developed a relationship with Trump, his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, helping to finance real-estate deals no other bank would touch because of Trump’s record of failing to pay his debts to lenders, contractors and business partners."

...

"Dark Towers describes how Ivanka Trump befriended the judge, sitting next to him at an inaugural lunch, regaling him with accounts of her close friendship with his son, then visiting the elder Kennedy at the supreme court, bringing her five year-old daughter to hear a case about arbitration agreements."

2. Now I need a Rolaids. I wonder if he got a quick peek down her blouse?

3. Finally,some one is

putting this rumor to rest. Ought to be a interesting book. Guardian News Eourpe went there once upon a time,nothing since their allegations.

4. Geez

There is no end to the corruption of that crime family. And the most maddening thing of all is that Ivanka probably isn’t a hard core right winger. In the past, she has espoused pro-choice and pro-gay positions (she’s involved in the fashion world, for crying out loud). She is probably like her old man - they believe only in themselves and their own greatness. She’s not concerned about the a Supreme Court because she knows that nothing they do will affect her life at all - unless the court keeps her out of jail!

6. So, not only is Kavanaugh a sexual predator,

his nomination was illegitimate in the first place? There's a shocker. I hope enough Dems get elected to the Senate so that this gets looked into further.

7. What did Trump say to Kennedy that shocked him

after Kavanaugh's swearing-in ceremony?

12. Need lip readers

It sure seems he says, "What??"

[Skittles]

8. I am guessing there was much more to it than "charm offensive"

like.....kompromat

[iluvtennis]

10. +agree. nt

[Sneederbunk]

9. Deutsche Bank, Justin, Kennedy all dirty.

[Historic NY]

11. We never did find out why Judge Kennedy was so taken back when walking down

the hall with #Trump, he was truly distressed by what transpired.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I remember reading about this.

Stephanie Ruhle said she knows Kennedy and he's on the up and up. Suuuuuuuuuuuuure! Some people just can't see past what is right in front of them I guess.

19. Kennedy may have been on the up and up

but his son wasn't, and he knew it

[SayItLoud]

14. I'm suggesting:

tRUMP said to the old man, I'll pardon your son when he gets busted for the dirty loans he's been approving....IF YOU RETIRE so I can appoint a judge to replace you.

[volstork]

15. Quelle surprise.

They are all filthy to the core.

[Botany]

16. I wonder if Justin Kennedy had fun w/Ivanka as Jared watched?

Just saying.

[ewagner]

18. Sorry....but I was thinking

Something similar....like Ivanka being the "honey trap" for loan approvals???

which, of course, immediately turns into kompromat on Kennedy's son and a lever over Kennedy the elder.

I know

I've been reading too many John LeCarre' books.

21. Poolboying SCOTUS stylee

17. Fuck this place

3 Supreme Court picks in one year from a criminal. All illegitimate. Eliminate the GOP. Mobsters, all paid for. End them, or end this country. Wake the fuck up. What a shit hole country this is. Do not say God help us. He no longer gives a fuck about this place. Too many sold their souls for cash.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Not disagreeing with any of your post except I don't think God ever "approved" of any of this, ever.

[Traildogbob]

22. Wanna believe you.

Apologize if I offended your faith. Just rage ranting. So many reasons mine has been broken. Story for other times.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. I'm actually a militant agnostic. "I don't know and you don't either" so it's all good!

[Generic Brad]

23. I don't believe she is capable of charm

Threats? Yes. Charm? No.

I suspect she told him his son at Duetsch Bank would go down for his alleged role in laundering money for Trump and some Russian oligarchs unless Kennedy abruptly resigned. Early retirement would simply be Kennedy doing the Trumps a favor.
