...months...

I remember her talking about Deutsche Bank before the summer and so much more. She has been outstanding explaining into the simplest terms possible what is going on and helping lay out the puzzle pieces for us.

The picture is coming into focus and it really looks like Trump and his whole family and cabal are criminals that will be in jail.

I became a big fan on Jan 6th when she stood up, with Senators Barbara Lee and Sheila Jackson Lee, to object to the electoral college vote to accept the fucking moron as fake prez. I wrote to them to thank them. I keep notes. That same week Neera Tanden responded to my letter about that issue and "the Russian issues" which she told me were very important and to "stay engaged and keep calling and to stay focused".
I have followed her advice. She is on a lot of news shows and I value her opinion.

... but the illegal money exchanges and use of property etc to launder money...that’s what’s going to get them all. And Deutsche Bank, Bank of Cyprus, Russian Oligarchs and so much more is going to reveal they have been running a criminal enterprise for decades.

Trump was likely bankrupt in 2008 when the crash happen d. Nobody would lend him money and he was over extended and debts were being called in. It wasn’t his “genius business acumen” that turned that around. It was going into business with the Russians (mafia, oligarchs et al) and that is why he is so secretive.

I think they honestly thought it could go undetected.

That is one of the angles they are looking into, to see if Russian banks owned by oligarchs bought the Trump loans. Then they could forgive the loans and Deutche Bank could keep lending to Trump knowing that even if he didn't pay the Russians would buy the loans. Money Laundering 101.
