'Germany’s Deutsche Bank has a long history of some, frankly, “odd” financial dealings that began when the bank was created from putting together many banks to make one large one. Some of these shenanigans involve Donald Trump’s business loans, but David Enright looks at the bank in its history in his book, “Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an Epic Trail of Destruction”.

Russian oligarchs mix with shady characters from all over the world in money laundering that other banks wouldn’t touch. Why would Deutsche Bank make specious loans? Who was behind the bank’s business decisions and how do people like a US Supreme Court Justice figure into American politics? David Enright’s book is a great read which exposes the dirty side of Deutsche Bank and its dealing.'

The author of Dark Towers, David Enrich, the expert on Deutsch, was on Rachel tonight.

Author Enrich states that this is a great issue, and will be argued tomorrow before SCOTUS. It could, and should, lay bare Deutsch 2 billion dollar loans suspicious ['loans'] to trump. Deutsch knows a lot about trump's dealings. Investigated internally by Deutsch, long paper trail. Deutsch 'seems willing to cooperate, and could deliver troves of trump information over the summer'. Quote, best as I recall, 'this may be the last chance for the trump financial story to be told'.

[As Rachel noted earlier in the show, trump lawyers have argued, that trump could 'shoot someone on 5th Avenue, and cannot be investigated, indicted,' etc. as President].

1. Don't get me wrong but I am trying to figure out why a story about a book is in LBN?

3. Rachel's show tonite is about huge stakes with Scotus tomorrow. Perhaps the biggest

issue is trump's very possibly traitorous financial entanglements, vulnerabilities, emoluments, etc. This author, and his new comments on the trial tomorrow, is more than a story about a book, . . . it seems.

4. Probably because it wasn't about the book, but about what's about to happen tomorrow

in the Supreme Court, a focus of the latter part of Rachel's show tonight.

10 AM tomorrow: Oral arguments around Deutsche Bank and Trumps finances.

2. If SCOTUS decides this in favor of Trump, we'll know the rule of law is really dead in America.

5. I fear that is what will indeed happen.

6. Wonder if he delves into its history very deeply

There wasn't a lot I could find online previous to about early 1970s. Nazi Germany fell, Reichsbank kind of folded, maybe some accounts were held in Swiss banks, but 1946 to early 60s? The amalgamated banks? Not much.

7. Look at Amazon's other books by the author, and similiar books. Some detailed

reviews of the book, will give you a good feel, and decent start on where to look.

8. After a review by forum hosts....LOCKING
