From three months ago:

Here's a bit more on this mystery Chicago loan -- in which @realDonaldTrump says he's paying more than 5% interest on a $50M+ debt to...himself. http://propub.li/2EYMaLS

I was just going thru docs on @realDonaldTrump's Chicago bldg -- taking another crack at the mystery of Trump's odd $50M+ loan on that bldg -- and found this. In 2013, somebody bought a few condos there under using the name "Combover LLC."

1. Combover?

2. My first thought about Combover would be Trump.

I can't imagine anyone could untangle his financial mess, let alone make any sense of it. There is obviously a method to his madness and none of them are probably legal.

I find it amazing how many people pop up as being involved in his enterprises or connected in some way. Many of those branch out into their own illegal activities. Broidy comes to mind as one of the latest.

3. what kind of financial insanity is going to come from when he dies someday?

I mean, taking the whole presidential side out of it, can you imagine the way things would fall apart? Like a mini-2008 collapse.

5. If all we've heard is true and he is in as deeply as we believe him to be...

the only punishment that makes sense and would hurt him the most is to set a value to his crimes...each and every one that has been uncovered...and seize his assets. To bring him down to reality would also be a favor to him. He has stepped on so many people in his lifetime that prison wouldn't teach him a lesson. Lowering his lifestyle would make the most lasting impression.

4. What a Con Job on the Banks.

Someone really greased the skids on this one. Rickett's?

6. They need to investigate

Every single "buisness" deal maggot ever made.
They are all corrupt.
