Quote:Deutsche Bank for months has rebuffed calls by Democratic lawmakers to provide more transparency over the roughly $300 million Trump owed to the bank for his real estate dealings prior to becoming president. Representative Maxine Waters of California and other Democrats have asked whether the bank’s loans to Trump, made years before he ran for president, were in any way connected to Russia. The bank previously rejected those demands, saying sharing client data would be illegal unless it received a formal request to do so. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.

Calls and emails to the White House weren’t immediately returned before U.S. office hours. Handelsblatt reported the subpoena earlier Tuesday.

Either way, for an accurate look at someone's financials in a case like this, I'd imagine you need more than a snapshot.

I'd be more inclined to entertain that theory if we were talking about inflows of cash into Trump accounts at Deutsche Bank. Maybe there's something to the theory you post; however, how would it fit with the story that Mueller is interested in Trump leveraging his properties to secure loans from the bank?

Not sure, but we'll see. We always knew this investigation would involve his finances.

My theory is that this is a get-Trump-out-office-using-whatever-it-takes kinda deal because we couldn't beat him at the ballot box.

I realize that as I can see their logo from where I sit here. I'm saying the Russian banking sector has a small number of players in which DB is a major part of it.
