“Justin Kennedy, a trader who arrived from Goldman to become one of Mr. Trump’s most trusted associates over a 12-year spell at Deutsche, is the son of Supreme Court Justice Kennedy.” [on.ft.com/2MxAS0l]

“Say hello to your boy. Special guy,” Trump said, referring to Justice Kennedy’s son, Justin, who spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank where he worked closely with Trump. During Justin’s tenure, Deutsche became Trump’s most important lender.

In 2005, instead of repaying his $640 Deutsche comm real estate loan, Trump sued DB. What happened next strikes many in banking as bizarre. In 2010 they settled. Rather than walk away, DB’s private wealth div resumed lending to the 4-time bankrupt client.
Trump: "Very nice coming from you. And say hello to your boy, special guy."
Kennedy: "Your kids have been very nice to him."
Trump: "They love him...he's a great guy."

THREAD: In light of the Trump admin lifting sanctions on Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's companies, recall that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, conspired with Deripaska during the 2016 campaign with help from Russian intelligence operative Konstantin Kilimnik.
#Maddow
JUL 7, 2016: Manafort offers Deripaska private campaign briefings then meets with Kilimnik re the same on Aug 2.

AUG 11, 2016 email from Manafort's CPA: "Paul has indicated $2.4M in fees earned, but not yet received. Expected to be deposited Nov 2016 [post election?]."
#Maddow
JUL 29, 2016 email from Russian intelligence operative Kilimnik to Manafort [days after Trump accepts GOP nomination]: "I met today with [Deripaska]. I have important messages from him to you. He asked me to go & brief you on our conversation."

McCARTHY: There’s two people, I think, Putin pays – Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God.

RYAN: This is an off the record [laughter] NO LEAKS...alright?! This is how we know we’re a real family.

SCALISE: That’s how you know that we’re tight.
-Never forget-
JUN 15, 2016, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy to Paul Ryan, @SteveScalise, and other GOP: "There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God."

@Evan_McMullin was there and confirmed it was not a joke.
wapo.st/2pY7eFF
Per @Evan_McMullin: One senior GOP leader [that's you, @GOPLeader!] dolefully informed his peers that he thought Trump was on the Kremlin’s payroll and had been compromised by Russian intelligence. Other GOP leaders were surprised but did not dispute him.

CORRECTION: Manafort told Kilimnik to pass TRUMP polling data not to Deripaska but to Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov & Serhiy Lyovochkin, who funneled $50K to Trump's inaugural & is business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss Mogilevich].
#Maddow
FYI: Rick Gates testified that between 2010-2013, former Yanukovych CoS Serhiy Lyovochkin funneled $42M to Paul Manafort. At the time, Lyovochkin was business partner to Dmytro Firtash [top-tier comrade of Russian mob boss, Semion Mogilevich].
#Maddow kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
In his plea deal, Sam Patten, US business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik [Russian GRU associate of Manafort & Gates] who worked for Cambridge Analytica in 2014, said a Ukranian oligarch [Serhiy Lyovochkin] funneled $50K into Trump's inaugural fund.

Mitch McConnell says that this will "all blow over".

But the #KavanaughAffair deserves to be told and remembered. It's a political thriller which includes sexual assault, drunken violence, shady finances, perjury, and much more.

This entire story must be told!

<THREAD>
1) There are so many questions about the #KavanaughAffair.

Why was Kavanaugh chosen above others?
Why were his work records hidden away by a guy named Bill Burck?
Who prevented the FBI from investigating fully?
And why did Justice Kennedy announce his resignation so abruptly?
2) We know Kavanaugh was Justice Kennedy's law clerk & Kennedy wanted Kavanaugh to replace him on the SCOTUS bench.
Three questions:
a) Did Kennedy make a deal with Trump?
b) Why EXACTLY was it important for Kennedy to have Kavanaugh replace him?
c) When did the planning begin?

I have so many question about the #KavanaughAffair. The alleged sexual assaults, the lies under oath, the boozing, the shady finances. I want to know how Kavanaugh's name was chosen. I want to know Justice Kennedy's involvement. There's enough here for a book!

3) Let's try to answer c) When did the planning for Kavanaugh to replace Kennedy begin? A good place to look might be at Kavanaugh's own website. The one created to promote his candidacy for the Supreme Court bench. Gee! I wonder what the date of creation was?

👉Deutsche Bank was fined $425M for laundering $10B for the Russians
👉Trump owes Deutsche money
👉Last Xmas Trump quietly ‘waived’ those fines👇
👉Last yr the Justice Dept went quiet on the probe

Now we learn ANTHONY KENNEDY’s son worked for Deutsche & was close to Trump?🤔
Here are some articles about the Justice Dept and their leniency towards Deutsche Bank.
To be clear when I say Justice Kennedy’s son was CLOSE w/ Trump I’m basing that on a Financial Times quote that says he was “one of Mr.Trump’s most trusted associates over a 12-year spell at Deutsche”

I’d say that’s close...maybe even close enough to earn a Mueller indictment🤔

OMG this week isn't bad enough: JUSTICE KENNEDY JUST ANNOUNCED HE IS RETIRING. A president whose legitimacy is under question for a rigged election, who attacks the US constitution and American values—gets to appoint yet ANOTHER Supreme Court Justice. Things are very very wrong.
So much for an independent judiciary. Justice Kennedy retiring now assures his political party—a Republican—gets to appoint his successor AND puts the Supreme Court on Nov ballot. Which should also put more pressure on every last American to stand up to Trump dismantling America.
.@SteveSchmidtSES: Trump lost popular vote by 3 million yet GOP controls all branches of govt. A minority rules the majority of a country opposed to the president. That's extremely unhealthy for democracy. Dems must block any Supreme Court nom before Nov election.#Kennedy #SCOTUS
