New York Prosecutors Investigating Trump’s Manhattan Properties - Officials are investigating $280 mil in loans the former president took on four buildings, including flagship Trump Tower - all loans were made by Ladder Capital, by @coryramey @EmilyGlazer

wsj.com/articles/new-y…
A chart I created in Dec 2017 showing Trump loans from both Ladder Capital and Deutsche Bank was referenced in Cy Vance appellate brief related to the Manhattan DA Trump criminal tax fraud investigation

2017 chart of Ladder & Deutsche loans

I wrote then "The mainstream media has reported on Deutsche Bank, but has barely covered Ladder Capital Finance", maybe now it will get more coverage including fact that Trump Org CFO Weisselberg's son works at Ladder

Today's article says focus of prosecutors on Ladder isn’t known but they may "be looking for discrepancies between loan documents and financial information submitted elsewhere by Mr. Trump, such as that on tax returns or submitted to an insurance company"

wsj.com/articles/new-y…
While the original loans from Ladder Capital to Trump for 4 NYC properties were approx $282 million, per recent reporting by @DanAlexander21 the loans have been paid down to approx $257 million (40 Wall paid down from $160 to $138 million)

Schumer is Sen Majority Leader but all Senate committees are still led by Republicans

Story👇notes some discussions may be finalized after impeachment trial

Has anyone seen reporting on how long McConnell can stall & keep GOP in charge of Sen committees?
thehill.com/homenews/senat…
I feel like it should be a bigger story that Rs still chair all senate committees

If anyone has seen reporting on whether there's a time limit on when Schumer and McConnell need to agree on rules to pass over committee control or other options to force the transfer, please share
Here's one of the last articles I have seen on the status of discussions between Schumer and McConnell

This quote from Rebekah Mercer in a Nov 2020 article is crazy🤦‍♀️

“The ever increasing tyranny and hubris of our tech overlords demands that someone lead the fight against data mining, and for the protection of free speech online. That someone is Parler"

msn.com/en-us/news/pol…
In 2018 @JaneMayerNYer reported Rebekah Mercer & friends played a parlor game called the Machine Learning President, with a race to the oval office - players had cash to push their agendas, which could include “algorithmic policing” & “mass deportation”
