Deutsche Bank was willing to gamble and lose a lot of money MULTIPLE TIMES as each time Trump defaulted. Yet they still came back, he would accept a new loan & use the loan money to pay off the old loan.
 
Gluttons for punishment. If they do get screwed by Trump they rightly deserve it. “Other people’s money!” Trump has proven his business acumen by losing other people’s money over and over again.
 
[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/18/business/deutsche-bank-donald-trump.html]https://www.nytimes.com/2…bank-donald-trump.html[/link]
 

For nearly two decades, Donald J. Trump relied on Deutsche Bank to lend to him when other banks wouldnt. Deutsche Bank, eager to expand in the United States, made a decision to repeatedly take a risk on him. 
 
Much has been written about their relationship, which is now under investigation on Capitol Hill and by the New York attorney general. Here are some of the new revelations from The New York Timess investigation into Mr. Trumps ties to Deutsche Bank.
 
In 2003, Deutsche Bank helped Mr. Trumps casino company sell hundreds of millions of dollars in bonds. (The salesmen were rewarded with a trip to Mar-a-Lago.) Mr. Trumps company defaulted in 2004, leaving Deutsche Banks clients with deep losses. The banks investment division that sold the bonds vowed to not do business again with Mr. Trump.
 
A year later, though, Mr. Trump approached another part of the investment division for a $640 million loan to build a skyscraper in Chicago. It made the loan and in 2008, Mr. Trump defaulted and sued Deutsche Bank. That prompted the whole investment division to sever ties with Mr. Trump.
 
And then, three years after his previous default, Deutsche Bank started lending to him again, this time through the private-banking division that catered to the superrich. In fact, it lent Mr. Trump money that he used to repay what he still owed Deutsche Banks investment division for the Chicago loan.
 
Since Mr. Trump won the 2016 election, Deutsche Bank officials have been trying to minimize the importance of their business with the new president, arguing that some senior executives didnt even know the relationship existed.

 
 
 

[kayla.meyer_144]

You really do have to wonder, how well does Deutsche Bank know the Russians.
 
I’m sure we are not talking about a laundry business here.
 
The executives did get a visit to Mar-a-Lago for their Billion$ loaned and lost.
 
[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/18/business/trump-deutsche-bank.html]https://www.nytimes.com/2…ump-deutsche-bank.html[/link]
 

Then Mr. Trump won the 2016 election, and the German bank shifted into damage-control mode, bracing for an onslaught of public scrutiny, according to several people involved in the internal response.
 
After Mr. Trump won the election, Deutsche Banks board of directors rushed to understand how the bank had become the biggest lender to the president-elect.
 
A report prepared by the boards integrity committee concluded that executives in the private-banking division were so determined to win business from big-name clients that they had ignored Mr. Trumps reputation for demagogy and defaults, according to a person who read the report.
 
The review also found that Deutsche Bank had produced a number of exposure reports that flagged the growing business with Mr. Trump, but that they had not been adequately reviewed by senior executives.
 
On Deutsche Banks trading floor, managers began warning employees not to use the word Trump in communications with people outside the bank. Salesmen who violated the edict were scolded by compliance officers who said the bank feared stoking public interest in its ties to the new president.
 
One reason: If Mr. Trump were to default on his loans, Deutsche Bank would have to choose between seizing his assets or cutting him a lucrative break a situation the bank would rather resolve in private.

House Dems subpoena Deutsche Bank, other lenders for info on Trump[/h1]

House Democrats on Monday reportedly subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and several other banks, asking for information about [link=https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump]President Trump[/link]’s finances, as well as the dealings between the banks and Russia.  

[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/15/business/deutsche-bank-trump-finances-congress.html]The New York Times[/link], citing several people with knowledge of the investigation, reported that the subpoenas were issued by Houses Intelligence and Financial Services committees.

The subpoenas represent the latest attempts by Democrats in Congress to investigate the personal finances of Trump. The House Ways and Means Committee earlier this month formally requested six years of Trump’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service, a request the White House plans to fight.

The whole thing with russia was concern that he may be working to enrich himself under duress from a foreign power. Emoluments and fears of influence peddling are legitimate concerns. 
None of trump’s shit is in a blind trust. He should have done that. Every recent president before him did that. Every recent president before him released his tax returns and Trump himself said he’d release them. Why doesn’t he just do what he said he was going to do? It’s not like he’s personally supposed to go through documents and fax them. He has people to do it. Honestly, what’s the big deal?

Equating this with a demand to see Trump’s tax returns makes about as much sense as electing repeatedly as a Vermont senator a man who’s never been able to hold down a real job.

I think that after Trump leaves office, be that 2020 or 2024 we will see a number of these things that were once “norms” that Trump has shattered codified into federal law.
 
The GOP just can’t go along with it for now because they fear retribution from Trump and the base.  But after Trump is gone I think you will a lot of mandatory disclosure legislation.

I don’t object to the idea of his providing them. What is objectionable is Leftists’ sense of entitlement and naked power-grabbing; no matter what the Leftists claim, Trump doesn’t [i]owe [/i]us his tax returns. There’s no law demanding that he provide them, and he has every right to tell Democrats to go to hell.

[JAMELLESEABURY_446]

True there’s no law requiring he provide them. Unless they’re subpoenaed in which case he would.
I don’t know what would be gleaned from his tax returns other than potentially embarrassing political things like him embellishing his wealth, paying close to no taxes, etc. In the trump tax act there was an odd part added last minute about REIT(real estate investment trusts) and his taxes could show he personally benefited from but wouldn’t be criminal.
Violation of emoluments is important but that info would come from the trump org CFO and not from his tax returns.

US code is law and this is in the US code, committee access. This was from tea pot dome days. Trump has already been found to be a tax scammer. The nail that sticks out gets hammered.

6 out of 10 people don’t like him.  Why is that an envious position.  He’s of questionable wealth, integrity, morals, mental capacity, and ethics to name a few things.  None of that is something people envy to be.  I stated he just didn’t get caught.  As a country I don’t think we go after financial crimes the same way.  Your more likely to get audited for an earned income tax credit than a company is who claims $0 owed in taxes.  Explain why his sister resigned the day after she was going to be under an ethics probe?  Good luck with that one.

Deutsche Bank has begun the process of providing financial records to New York states attorney general in response to a subpoena for documents related to loans made to President Trump and his business, [link=https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/24/politics/deutsche-bank-trump-records/index.html]CNN[/link] reports.

[b]Trump Sues Deutsche Bank and Capital One to Block Compliance With Subpoenas[/b]
 
 
As a private businessman, Trump routinely used his well-known litigiousness and the threat of lawsuits to intimidate others, but he will find that Congress will not be deterred from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities.  … This lawsuit is not designed to succeed; it is only designed to put off meaningful accountability as long as possible.

opinion:   [b]Welcome to the War Over Donald Trumps Wallet[/b]

Welcome to the first salvos of the post-Mueller battle between the White House and Congress over the separation of powers, executive authority and the Pandoras Box of thorny, troubling problems stemming from the fact that Trump is the [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2016-11-11/the-conflicts-of-interest-president]most financially[/link] [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-03-14/scandal-fatigue-and-the-trump-ethical-swamp]conflicted[/link] [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-14/a-swamp-tour-of-trump-s-washington]president[/link] of the modern era.

Of course, politics are at work here. But principles are at stake as well. How this plays out will inform whether non-partisan and non-ideological values such as good government, ethical management, and, yes, transparency have institutional protection in the future regardless of which president and which party controls the White House.

…

Trumps lawyers argue in their lawsuit that Congress doesnt have Constitutional authority to engage in oversight or investigations of the presidency, and can only take action tied to existing legislation. And they use that argument as a foundation for saying the Houses requests of Trump are overly sweeping and intrusive and therefore Deutsche and Capital One shouldnt hand over records. Ironically, one of the parties suing the two companies is the trust set up by Trump to ostensibly check his financial conflicts as president. And while the suit makes much of the fact that meanies in Congress have gone so far as to ensnare Trumps kids in this mess, it conveniently glosses over the reality that his three eldest children are his longstanding business partners and one of them, Ivanka, is a senior adviser in the White House.

The president clearly has issues with ethical and financial boundaries and, despite his lawsuits protests that his privacy is being violated, hes not just your average American businessman or citizen; hes someone clothed in immense power who, quite properly, needs to be held to a higher standard. In the years prior to the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations, Trump went on a spending spree that included [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-07-13/trump-s-u-k-trip-a-money-losing-scottish-golf-paradise]golf course developments[/link], the [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-11-22/trumps-ditch-soho-hotel-but-not-robert-mueller]Trump SoHo Hotel[/link] and other projects funded in mysterious ways. Deutsche Bank, in particular, has been party to a substantial portion of decades of the presidents ventures and, as [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-03-19/trump-has-some-stories-to-tell-about-deutsche-bank]Ive noted before[/link], the bank has some important stories to tell.

Suspicious Activity Seen in Trump and Kushner Accounts

Anti-money laundering specialists at Deutsche Bank recommended in 2016 and 2017 that multiple transactions involving legal entities controlled by Donald Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, be reported to a federal financial-crimes watchdog, the New York Times reports.

The transactions, some of which involved Mr. Trumps now-defunct foundation, set off alerts in a computer system designed to detect illicit activity Compliance staff members who then reviewed the transactions prepared so-called suspicious activity reports that they believed should be sent to a unit of the Treasury Department that polices financial crimes.

But executives at Deutsche Bank, which has lent billions of dollars to the Trump and Kushner companies, rejected their employees advice. The reports were never filed with the government.

“Today we have announced the most fundamental transformation of Deutsche Bank in decades,” CEO Christian Sewing said in a statement, calling the moves a “restart.”

New information tonight that Donald Trumps celebrated Washington hotel was not the successful venture the former president claimed it was, said Todd, describing a report by the House Oversight Committee that the Trump International Hotel DC claimed it earned more than $156 million in income from its 2016 opening and last year, but it actually suffered a net loss of more than $70 million in that period.
 
Their findings also include an analysis of the hotels financial documents showing that it received about $3.7 million from foreign governments, which the committee says raises concerns about whether Trump violated part of the Constitution that bans federal office holders from receiving gifts, payments, [or] anything of value from foreign officials, said Todd.
 
Theres more: the committee says Trump received undisclosed preferential treatment from Deutsche Bank on a $170 million construction loan for the hotel.
 
Trump himself often bragged about the hotel, located in the historic Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Ave., calling it the most coveted piece of real estate in Washington, D.C.
