It Will Come Out

But the question remains: will we get confirmation on what we need to know - what we're pretty sure we already know - in time?

New York Times Magazine:

It tells of Mike Offit - former Deustchebank wheel who helped engineer what became billions of dollars in loans to Trump at a time when nobody else would touch him.

And then he helped with the messaging so they could pretzel the fuck outa the thing in order to turn Trump into a noble avatar, at one with The Great American Little Guy.

... Democrats were pillorying Trump’s shaky — not to mention murky — personal finances, including his companies’ chronic bankruptcies. Offit thought he might dispense a little advice to his erstwhile client. On a Friday evening, he emailed Trump a lengthy message, explaining that the defense Trump was offering at the time — that he was simply using the bankruptcy law in an advantageous way — wasn’t resonating with voters. “I believe there is a much better answer, that may help defuse this issue, and am just arrogant enough to suggest it,” Offit wrote.

He advised Trump to claim that his companies had been forced to declare bankruptcy, the victims of greedy hedge funds so obsessed with wringing every last dollar out of him that they refused to let him renegotiate his crushing debts. Was this true? Not really. But it sounded good, and the line of attack meshed with Trump’s populist rhetoric on the campaign trail.
The money quote:

Last April, congressional Democrats subpoenaed Deutsche Bank for its records on Trump, his family members and his businesses. The Trump family sued to block the bank from complying; after two federal courts ruled against the Trumps, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case, with oral arguments expected in the spring. State prosecutors, meanwhile, are investigating the bank’s ties with Trump, too. The F.B.I. has been conducting its own wide-­ranging investigation of Deutsche Bank, and people connected to the bank told me they have been interviewed by special agents about aspects of the Trump relationship.

Read the thing, and understand how openly these assholes are doing their criming.

Hiding in plain sight.

The main thing right now is to keep a good watchful eye on US Att'y General Bill (Where's My Roy Cohn) Barr.

I'd give a coupla my nuts to be wrong, but I think we really are seeing the big push. The Daddy State trying to come to full flower.

Oh yeah - don't miss the part where Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's son pops up in the middle of this fucking thing.
