“That’s because the top two officials in the Southern District, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman and deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami, have both done extensive legal work for (Deutsche Bank.)” apple.news/AuC9ML43BTVmhd…
“Khuzami’s relationship with the bank is public. He worked there from 2002 to 2009, ultimately becoming its general counsel for the Americas and handling its responses to investigations and litigation. The position gave him broad visibility into the bank’s thorniest conflicts.”
“A source familiar with Berman’s work on behalf of Deutsche Bank told (said) he did lots of legal work with the bank over the years, including representing some of its senior executives.
“...after firing dozens of U.S. attorneys, including Preet Bharara, Trump installed Berman in the post in an interim capacity. Judges in the Southern Dist. then formally installed him as U.S. Attorney. As a result, he has not been through the Senate confirmation process...”

I'm still stuck on the fact that Justice Kennedy's son was involved in Deutsche loans to Trump. So many questions...who's checking Justice Kennedy's prior cases for conflicts?
"About a week before the presidential address, Ivanka Trump had paid a visit to the Supreme Court as a guest of Justice Kennedy. The two had met at a lunch after the inauguration, and Ms. Trump brought along her daughter, Arabella Kushner."

Chris Collins, criminal & GOP member of the US House representing NY's 27th.

Net worth = $59,104,518.50

Republican voters, these guys are not making an honest living. They get elected by you to scew you, commit crimes & further tilt the playing field

New York Republicans ... Chris Collins has a net worth of more than $59M but still has to commit crimes & get elected to lower his own taxes?

Republicans are idiots.

Glad to know that Republicans in the Justice Department are tired of corruption within their own party.
The criminal case against Republican Chris Collins is being handled out of the Southern District of New York.

Geoffrey Berman is the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Prior to becoming U.S. Attorney on January 5, 2018, Berman was a partner at a NY firm
