So MSNBC decided it’s time, finally, to practice a little journalism (probably just a little, I’m sure they’ll be over it in a few minutes)…
Trump owes Deutschbank $650 million; Deutschbank owes the DoJ $14 billion in mortgage/bond fraud penalties. The bank is trying to renegotiate their fines and have them reduced, does Trump have a conflict of interest?
Trump owes the Bank of China (state-owned) $950 million, and he’s threatening to have the US file charges against China accusing them of currency manipulation. Does he have a conflict of interest?
We don’t know how many other conflicts he may have because we haven’t seen his taxes.
Then a whole discussion of what a “blind trust” is, and why his kids running his business isn’t the least bit “blind.”
I have a nerf specifically for throwing at the TV in these circumstances. Newsweek published an Eichenwald story about this very thing (a much longer story, with dozens of examples) about a month ago. From the rest of the media, crickets. NOW they want to talk about it?!?!?
Good thing he didn’t have a private e-mail server.
