  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Question for our more legally savvy colleagues: if Deutsche Bank is investigated by the German government for money laundering and it is found that trump was a knowing beneficiary of those illicit dealings, would pardoning himself help him at all in the German courts?

I am not legally savvy, but I wouldn't think so. The pardon power only extends to federal crimes: "offenses against the United States."

That's why there's been a lot of attention to many of these state investigations. The presidential power can't affect them (much less anything from a foreign state).

The private bankers responsible for lending to President Donald Trump and Jared Kushner resigned from Deutsche Bank last year following allegations related to the unauthorized purchase of a Manhattan condominium.

Germany's biggest bank said in US regulatory filings that Rosemary Vrablic and Dominic Scalziwere "permitted to resign" effective December 31 following allegations that they engaged in "undisclosed activities" tied to a property investment that included the "purchase of a property from a client-managed entity."

The bankers also engaged in the "formation of an unapproved outside entity to hold the investment," Deutsche Bank (DB) said in filings to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

The allegations relate to the bankers' purchase of an apartment in 2013 from Bergel 715 Associates, a company in which Kushner, a Deutsche Bank client, was a minority investor, according to a person familiar with the matter. The purchase was not disclosed to the bank and violated its internal policies, the person said.

You posted this as "transparency." Is there any indication that this financial will become public. I haven't seen any such indications.
