When @maddow mentioned Trump's 1989 interest income likely coming from high yield bonds, that reminded me of something I just read...
So, Trump borrowed $675m in junk bonds to finance the Taj Mahal...
Then the junk bond market collapsed.
Then he went bankrupt in 1990.
And a few years later, moved some more money around...
more junk bonds...

independent.co.uk/news/business/…
It all kind of makes me wonder - if there seem to be these cycles in high yield bonds being defaulted on en-masse, but a select group of people tend to come out ahead afterwards...
how much of these markets rising and falling are orchestrated to help some individuals wipe clean any debt they owe on...

could bankruptcy settlements be minimized by holding your own high yield bonds?
this finance stuff is something that never held much interest to me... but I think I'm starting to see some interesting patterns nonetheless.

anyone with a deeper understanding than I of this world should absolutely start digging into Trump and airlines, though. it has a smell.

So, under RICO: once events are put in motion on behalf of protecting one or more individuals engaged in criminal activity, by spinning off a false narrative (let's say, for instance, Pizzagate/QAnon), do acts in furtherance include only those committed by those with knowledge...
or would any promotion of that narrative by unwitting agents also count as acts that extend the statute of limitations for charging RICO and/or predicate crimes?
Namely, could acts in furtherance include stochastic terrorism designed by a small core team to conceal ongoing criminal activity by intimidating victims+witnesses if the actors do not fully understand the intended impact of their acts to promote that narrative?

When Trump and his followers say they are for "Law and order," they aren't lying.

But they aren't talking about the rule of law, the enforcement of the codified laws of the land: they're talking about preserving + enforcing those unwritten 'laws' that reinforce their privilege.
When they're scared that their position will be usurped by women, by those with dark skin, by immigrants;
They eagerly do whatever it takes to maintain their position of privilege and power, which can include blatantly violating the laws of this nation, in the interest of securing their greater goal.

A Math-themed NY-style Pizza Yacht just offshore of the island in the USVI where Epstein is building his new lair.

OMG. I have no evidence to suggest this means anything... but the irony is palpable.
Though they did give a shout-out to SY A - Andrey Melnichenko's $500 Million dollar yacht - when it was in the 'hood last month... 🧐
And shout-outs to families from the hometown of Les Wexner?

I don't know... it's weird.

SCCOP >> Decade in the Red: Newly obtained tax information reveals that from 1985 to 1994, Trump’s businesses were in far bleaker condition than was previously known. The tax info shows over $1B in business losses.
by @russbuettner @susannecraig #Maddow nyti.ms/2PTd8Xk
"Amid the hundreds of figures on 10 years of Trump tax transcripts, one number is particularly striking: $52.9 million in interest income that Trump reported in 1989, but the source is a mystery."
#Maddow
Trump paid NO income taxes in 8 of the 10 years examined by @russbuettner and @susannecraig [1985-1994]. Trump's losses were so big that in 1991 they accounted for fully 1% of ALL business losses declared that year by individual American taxpayers.

Trump refuses to meet a LEGAL deadline to send Congress a report that requires the White House to determine if Saudi Crown Prince MBS is personally responsible for the murder of @washingtonpost journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Not at all suspicious. 🙄

Trump gears up to strip more security clearances as part of his escalating attack against officials tied to the Russia probe. Trump has already fired or threatened to fire nearly a dozen current & former officials associated with the investigation.

RECALL: Immediately following Comey's testimony re his firing in JUN 2017, Trump ordered a smear campaign targeting FBI officials who could corroborate Comey's account that Trump told him to drop the Flynn probe: McCabe, Baker, Rybicki & Lisa Page.

Trump pressed Sessions & FBI Director Wray in Jan 2108 to fire the 2 FBI officials who sent anti-Trump texts [Strzok & Page] and to dig into the FBI files for more dirt on Strzok & Page to turn over to House GOP working to smear them.
HT @emzorbit #Maddow bit.ly/2HTzjbG
Trump's efforts to smear Strzok & Page began last summer when his then-criminal atty Dowd concluded that Page was a dangerous witness in Mueller's obstruction probe bc she was likely present when Comey discussed his troublesome contacts w/ Trump.
#Maddow
Trump's then-criminal atty Dowd realized that Lisa Page, as deputy FBI director McCabe's chief counsel, was likely privy to info McCabe had re Comey's troublesome contacts with Trump, including the time Trump told Comey to drop the Flynn probe.
