Our president has liabilities in the range of $400 million - isn’t debt exactly the type of kompromat agencies look for when vetting folks for security clearances?

1. Malcolm has been saying this from the beginning "follow the Money"

[Thekaspervote]

2. +1000

[bdamomma]

40. money

is the root of all EVIL. for real.

Malcolm was right.

[CR4200]

63. The Love of Money

Actually, it's The LOVE of Money, is a root of all evils. Money in it's self is not evil, man can do great things and help many people with money.

It's the people that have the Love of money in their hearts, that overwhelm everything the do, that is the problem.

Something like Party before Country....just sayin'.

[Ingersollman]

64. Actually

I think the saying can be traced back to the Latin phrase, (which came fronm the Greek), "Radix Malorum est Cupiditas". Translated means the root of evil is greed.

[bdamomma]

69. Welcome to DU

and yes. Your comment makes sense, but many men think money (greed) is for them and not for others. Thus the split for the non-existant Middle class and Poor/ Working Class. Thus Have's vs. Have Nots.

[calimary]

47. Echoes of Woodward & Bernstein's Deep Throat.

Follow the money.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Money talks."

Or as I said when Michael Cohen started talking, "SING, my angel of music!"

4. Didn't Jared and Ivanka fail their national security screening?

N/T

[2naSalit]

20. Yup.

[keithbvadu2]

23. jared considers a security clearance to be a license to sell our country's secrets.

48. With him, his wife, and his father-in-law, it always comes down to

"how much can I make off of this?"

[The Magistrate]

6. He Has A Point, Ma'am

Great indebtedness in a cleared employee is a common trigger for investigation, as it raises possibilities of blackmail or accepting bribes.

[dchill]

43. Still wondering who cleaned up Kavanaugh's debt problems.

[Bluepinky]

54. Putin?

[Pachamama]

58. That is an answer that I would like to know

[octoberlib]

7. Yep.

[sheshe2]

8. Correct.

[CousinIT]

9. "walking conflict of interest"

Link to tweet

People are focused on how little Trump paid in taxes, but to me this is the bigger story. He was deeply in debt and looking for a way to reinvigorate his brand. So he ran for President. And he’s been a walking conflict of interest ever since.

[LuvNewcastle]

32. That's it.

This is what happens when a rich man with no morals runs out of money. By the time this is all over with, I don't think Pence is going to pardon him. If all his influence -selling and borderline treason comes to light, no one in his right mind would want to get any of Donny's doody on himself. Pence is probably ruined in politics for life as it is just for being associated with Trump. Pardoning Trump would make Pence a pariah, too.

[Midnight Writer]

45. He'll pay that debt off with money he raises for his Presidential Library.

[EndlessWire]

55. He gonna pay it off

with money he appropriates from the national treasury. Wait, who does he owe this money to? Oh, then he won't bother to pay it at all.

[lindysalsagal]

10. THAT's the story. It always was. But it doesn't fit on a bumper sticker

so it's too hard for his mindless followers to grasp.

[OneBro]

18. Trump: Not Just Morally Bankrupt

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

28. i want that on my car.

[calimary]

49. That is mighty good! Must say!

"I want that on my car."

Sounds like a good protest sign too!


COMPLIMENTS to OneBro!

"Trump: Not Just Morally Bankrupt"

[Cha]

11. Rt! Hell Yeah! More than "likely".. how desperate was

trump Not to have his taxes Exposed?

[ProfessorGAC]

12. $400 Million?????

Where'd they get that number from.
The undeclared, and discovered debt over the last 2.5 years is at least a billion more than that.
And 5 years ago they ADMITTED to $5.4 billion in debt.
And the asset value was overstated by more than $2 billion.
Geez, PINO owes the Bank of China $360 million.
8 or 9 hundred million to Deutsche Bank, plus Russia, plus maybe the Saudis.
Where'd that puny $400 million come from?

[OneBro]

14. Maybe his personal debt vs the debt of his many companies. Maybe.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. It's All Personal Debt

The TO is a privately held corporation.
It's the large scale equivalent of a sole proprietorship.
Any debt is still his, although there are personal liability protections.
But, broke is broke.
Company goes broke, so does he.
He, being the non-genius that he is, putting nearly all the eggs in one basket.
Even Bezos didn't do that and he still runs Amazon. But, he grasped diversification.
And, remember how that was worded. It said they were loans he personally guaranteed.
IOW, they could be loans to the TO that are coming due, they don't have the cash, and he personally guaranteed them.
That could mean these were organizational loans, but he vouched for himself. (Which does call into question the commercial lending practices at those banks.)
I just find that 400 million ridiculously low.

[FakeNoose]

16. That's a good point, nobody knows the real number he owes

Chump has been overstating his expenses and understating his income for so many years in a row, I don't think his own accountants even know what he owes any more.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. The Lenders Do!!!

And their accountants likely know the amount to a tenth of a cent!

[calimary]

50. There is that.

[EndlessWire]

56. I agree. n/t

[superpatriotman]

13. Nance for head of NSA!

Or something in a Biden administration

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. That would be GLORIOUS! N/T

[MFGsunny]

67. + 1000 n/t

[House of Roberts]

15. Hmmm. 'ArmyofNaveed'...

That sounds strangely familiar.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. No wonder economic policies resulted in flooding the economy with cash

Easy money fastest way out of debt? What assets has the Fed been buying?

[BlueWavePsych]

24. National Security is surely at risk! How can you trust someone who is indebted to foreign powers?

[Kid Berwyn]

25. President Putin is not like this leaking.

More Adderall! Double the Sudafed!

[LastDemocratInSC]

27. I had a security clearance from 2009 to 2012 because of my line of work.

Getting a clearance is not easy, for good reasons. I had 2 late credit card payments reported in the early 2000s and that imperiled the whole thing. I was interviewed several times to discuss those 2 late payments and how I remedied the situations and how I had a strategy to avoid such situations in the future.

I got the clearance but the process was an eye-opener. You've got to be squeaky clean, or very close to it.

He got waivers for Jared - that's crooked - and nobody with Trump's level of debt could ever get a clearance in the normal manner. He would be considered a huge risk.

[HipChick]

29. Exactly...

Had to maintain a SC for over a decade...

[BigmanPigman]

31. An enormous risk!

Everything we suspected has been verified. "More to come" says the NYT.

[StTimofEdenRoc]

30. As this unfolds remember wasn't there a Deutsche Bank scandal, involving the son of a supreme court

supreme court member and an early retirement. Giving us Judge Kavanaugh.

[Blue_playwright]

33. I'm really looking forward to this coming out...

I hope I live long enough.

Still waiting to find out who killed JFK. My dad swears it was the GOP.

[crickets]

39. Yep. nt

[Illumination]

34. Yikes! The F.B.I. needs to escort him out of the W.H. A.S.A.P. & his piece of sh** family, etc....

[Lonestarblue]

35. Trump is most likely in debt to Russia, even after all the money laundering.

That is Putin’s hold over Trump. Either Eric or Jr. confirmed that they got all the money they needed from Russia. Tracking the source of Trump’s money is the key to figuring out whether he is a Russian asset. Once he is out of office and we have a legitimate AG, we need a full investigation of his Russia connections.

[bdamomma]

41. I remember

hearing that Jr. said money was coming in profusely from Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Follow the money.

[bringthePaine]

36. re-fire the impeachment engine immediately - there will be no confirmation, but a resignation...

[Wounded Bear]

37. D'uh...nt

[hkp11]

38. Malcolm has been saying this for a long time

Drumpf is a national security risk!

[FakeNoose]

44. Yes he has insider knowledge

Thank you Malcolm Nance for staying on top of this!

[Enoki33]

42. Recently it was reported the CIA has been limiting the amount

of Russian intelligence that was being passed on to tRump in an attempt not to ruffle any feathers. Bet the real reason is they know tRump is a major security risk. In fact an active Russian asset.

[moondust]

46. Where were investigators in 2015-17?

Do they not do background investigations on Presidential candidates who may end up handling the highest level classified information? Or at least on the candidates that end up winning? Or is all that just for the "little people"?

[Bonx]

51. Trump's goose is cooked this time.

[keithbvadu2]

52. Putting money into Trump was the best investment Putin ever made

When Trump is out of office, his usefulness will be greatly diminished. Will Putin come collecting?

Trump should beware of high open windows, tea, and Polonium 210 tipped umbrellas.

[Blue Owl]

53. YES!

[ffr]

57. Oh please, let their be a tie-in to McConnell!

[llmart]

60. I'd stake my life on that being true.

Also, a tie to Barr.

[BadgerMom]

62. And Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz...

[yellowdogintexas]

65. what a wonderful thing if Cruz was brought down!

We would have a special election, Beto would win it in a landslide and life would be very very sweet indeed!

Well, I can dream, can't I?

[yellowdogintexas]

66. yes yes yes. I think Karma just woke up from a 4 year nap and said "Wait just a damn minute"

Seems like I have some housecleanin' to do!!

[cp]

59. Yes! Yes! Yes!

National security emergency.

[marble falls]

61. Malcom Nance is on the button. Trump's debts are a threat on several levels ...

My crooked uncle once told me if you owed the bank $100,000, the bank owned you. If you owed the banks $1,000,000, you owned the banks.

When it looked like Trump was going to fall and drag Citibank(?) down with him in the 90's, the Fed guaranteed another Billion dollars in loans to keep Trump solvent.

Everybody made money in the 90's, but not Trump. He even tried to sue Merv Griffin for snookering him on a resort/casino deal.
