Deutsche Bank has been ground zero for Russian money laundering for a while - it has the fines and sanctions to prove it. That Trump elects to bank with Deutsche doesn't help his optics vis a vis Russia.

As an aside, Kushner's mill stone building in New York - 666 5th Avenue - which he bought for about 2x its value in 2007, is leveraged up to its eyeballs (if a building can have eyeballs). Late in 2016, Kushner took out a mortgage on the building for 1.2 billion and had to personally guarantee the loan (incredibly, something he forgot when filling out his security clearance form just a month or two later). Guess which bank holds that note...

Meanwhile, that loan is deep underwater and the building - with a 30% occupancy rate - is losing 24 million a year. The entire 1.2 billion loan is due for repayment in Feb 2019. No one wants anywhere near the building with a barge pole, and Kushner's co-owner in the building says it would be worth more if it was just dirt.

S'alright. The fella is just getting on a bit. He mis-quotes me all the time

" You argued that words could be violence."

Think that was probably me, stirling, referencing Rwanda as as example and extreme verbal bullying which could lead to breakdowns or direct and meant threats to kill a la the bad old days in Northern Ireland.

You get used to it. It usually happens when struggling with the points made. And well made they are too.

and me.

please do not snipe.
