Donald Trump’s narcissism renders him unable to comply with his duties to the nation

Deutsche Bank documents to House Democrats and the FBI



Deutsche Bank (AP/Michael Probst)

Son of late Deutsche Bank execu
tive offered trove of documents to House Democrats and the FBI



“His trove of corporate emails, financial materials, boardroom presentations and legal reports is credible"


MATTHEW CHAPMAN
OCTOBER 1, 2019  (UTC)T
his article originally appeared on Raw Story



On Tuesday, David Enrich of The New York Times profiled Val Broeksmit — an “unemployed rock musician with a history of opioid abuse and credit card theft” and a “dalliance with North Korea-linked hackers” who also happens to be the son of a deceased executive at Deutsche Bank, the international institution notorious for providing President Donald Trump with much of his business credit.

Broeksmit, Enrich reported, has been in touch with the FBI and members of the House Intelligence Committee, trying to blow the whistle on what he believes is far-reaching corruption — and is offering a cache of documents to back it up.


“For more than five years, Val Broeksmit has been dangling his Deutsche Bank files in front of journalists and government investigators, dreaming of becoming the next great American whistle-blower,” wrote Enrich. “He wants to expose what he sees as corporate wrongdoing, give some meaning to his father’s death — and maybe get famous along the way. Inside newsrooms and investigative bodies around the world, Mr. Broeksmit’s documents have become something of an open secret, and so are the psychological strings that come attached. I pulled them more than anyone, as part of my reporting on Deutsche Bank for The New York Times and for a book, ‘Dark Towers,’ to be published next year. It has been the most intense source relationship of my career.”

Broeksmit, Enrich admitted, is not a particularly credible human being, given his disreputable past, and his seeming desire for his story to be dramatized and monetized. Nonetheless, “his trove of corporate emails, financial materials, boardroom presentations and legal reports is credible — even if he is not.”

Among the documents he provided was one from a Federal Reserve official angry that Deutsche Bank’s accounting records were so haphazard. He also provided evidence that his father, who subsequently committed suicide, warned that the American division was shortstaffed and not taking the Fed’s stress tests seriously.


Notably, when Broeksmit met with House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) as his committee began investigating Deutsche Bank, Broeksmit wanted Schiff to hire him as a consultant, effectively paying him for his information. Schiff was unwilling to play this game and ultimately subpoenaed him instead.

Too many Dems fail to realize that 2020 is NOT about nominating the best candidate for President - the person with the best policies etc. 

It is about beating Trump. 

IT IS ABOUT THE BEST MATCH-UP AGAINST TRUMP.

Tom Waits - All The World is Green with Lyrics




 
ALL THE WORLD IS GREEN Lyrics

I fell into the ocean
When you became my wife
I risked it all aganist the sea
To have a better life
Marie you're the wild blue sky
And men do foolish things
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kings

Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green

The fase forgives the mirror
The worm forgives the plow
The questions begs the answer
Can you forgive me somehow
Maybe when our story's over
We'll go where it's always spring
The band is playing our song again
And all the world is green

Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
We can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green

The moon is yellow silver
Oh the things that summer brings
It's a love you'd kill for
And all the world is green

He is balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our grave(s)
When all the world is green

McGurk’s research interests center on national security strategy, diplomacy, and decision-making in wartime. He is particularly interested in the lessons learned over the presidencies of George W.

At Stanford, he will be working on a book project incorporating these themes and teaching a graduate level seminar on presidential decision-making beginning in the fall of 2019. He is also a frequent commentator on national security events in leading publications and as an NBC News Senior Foreign Affairs Analyst.



Before coming to Stanford, McGurk served as Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS at the U.S. Department of State, helping to build and then lead the coalition of seventy-five countries and four international organizations in the global campaign against the ISIS terrorist network.

Malignant narcissists cannot apologize, empathize, or show contrition. They harbor grandiose opinions of self, and cannot admit even slight imperfection, on matters large and small. They simply cannot reverse course. GOP Senators are learning they can't control the naked Emperor.

'Off The Rails' : Longtime Trump Lawyer Slams Giuliani On Ukraine And Criminal Exposure





In an exclusive interview with "The Beat," Donald Trump's former personal lawyer of 15 years, Jay Goldberg, goes public with tough criticism for fellow Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, critiquing his work, competence and service to Trump. 

Goldberg suggests Giuliani may have opened himself up to criminal liability and that he was “seduced” by the Trump “lifestyle” which drove him to lose "his sense of balance." 

Goldberg also dishes that he personally advised Trump not to hire Rudy Giuliani, and says now is the time for Trump to fire Giuliani, given the impeachment probe and Giuliani's own criminal investigation.

ECOLOGY OF IDEAS

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.”
