Donald Trump appeared to keep an article about a dead Deutsche Bank whistleblower among his classified documents, according to newly released FBI photos.
The article was a feature about Val Broeksmit, a rock musician, who leaked details of Deutsche Bank’s files to media and FBI agents investigating the bank’s alleged links to money laundering, the Trump Organization and Russia.
Early in her career, a friend worked for a white shoe law firm in NYC and she used to use Deutsche Bank as her reference point for corruption. Like, I’d go on my lil’ leftist rants about the 2008 financial crisis and she’d say, “Oh come on. They aren’t anywhere close to as bad as Deutsche Bank.”
I always wondered what fucked up things they had to be doing that they were officially The Worst Bank to corporate lawyers. And beyond that, the main part of a corporate lawyer’s job is litigation prevention and saying “No.” to the worst ideas. So, what did they want to do but get told it was so illegal, not even a giant international bank with teams of lawyers could get away with it.
Hey, I learned something new today, thanks!
