NYTimes: Deutsche bank saw suspicious activity in Trump, Kushner accounts (2016, 2017).

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/19/business/deutsche-bank-trump-kushner.html

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

The transactions, some of which involved Mr. Trump’s now-defunct foundation, set off alerts in a computer system designed to detect illicit activity, according to five current and former bank employees. 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."

The election of Trump was a permission slip for all the evil people in this country to just let it all come out.
He is their Trump card to play whenever they want to achieve an end that good, honest, kind, compassionate people never would otherwise allow.
It's the mark of the beast come to the forefront.

Duped is not the word. They see it as empowerment.
The power to control, dominate, suppress, violate, punish, and vanquish their enemies.

Their hate was bottled up for so long, and Trump gave them permission to use it with impunity.

Trump is the Father of Lies, and don't you ever forget it!
His followers worship him.
And he/they will make this country a hell if we let them.

So, he's laundering Russian money even after taking office.

He is so utterly compromised.

It wasn't the collusion; it was his financial dealings.

It could be that Congress has not gotten information on the counter intelligence investigation because it is not over, and this is the reason.

Deutsche Bank didn't report this information UNTIL they were subpoenaed for it. How can we trust that they will tell the truth?
