re: #215 makeitstop

Some dork on Facebook came at me on a friend’s thread, claiming that the Deutsche Bank subpoena was fake news. If he’d been civil I would have scrolled by, but he was a dick about it.

So I said that TV Lawyer Sekulow had no idea what he was talking about, and that he probably wouldn’t even know about the subpoena due to the Grand Jury Exception mentioned on the last thread.

He replied, ‘The bank denied it. Are they lying, too?’ So…

I did a search for ‘Deutsche Bank denies subpoena’ (yeah, Bing, sue me) and pointed out that TV Lawyer was the guy doing all the denying.

Then I did a search for ‘Deutsche Bank subpoena’ and noted that pretty much every news organization on the planet (including that liberal fake news outfit Breitbart) is reporting that the subpoena was indeed served, and asked him again to post a link to the bank denying the story.

That was over an hour ago. Think he bailed? Heh.

Rachel Maddow was saying Deutsche Bank had been holding out to get the subpoena as a request from Congress was not enough for them to get past their worries about giving out private client information easily.

And she further added that Deutsche bank insiders say they were happy to get it so they can get past all of this.

Hmmm. I wonder if Deutsche Bank is looking to dump a problematic account?
