I was in the courtroom yesterday during the Deutsche Bank arguments. They pretty much said Russian Oligarchs money laundered through Trump and Jared, I think he will act crazier and crazier to get out of this, he knew the argument was WEAK and what was coming. It's over

Thread coming when I can decipher my handwriting. “The American people need to know Russian oligarchs are not using the US banking system to launder money or if our government is beholden to foreign interests and influencing president Trump”

THREAD: In 1986 I produced TV commercials for Trump Casinos. In NYC, Trump was basically a punch line. It was well known, no banks would loan to him because he stiffed them all. So it was with great interested I entered Manhattan federal court on May 22.

1) The reason for the hearings, Trump sued Deutsche Bank/Capitol trying to block Congressional subpoenas to attain his financial records. The face off, pitted House's general council Douglas Letter and Trump's lawyer Strawbridge. Presiding, US District Judge Edgardo Ramos.

2) So, here are my notes, as no phones are allowed in Federal court. I hope it makes sense. Take away: Trump does NOT understand there are two separate but equal branches of government and Congress is a check on the Executive Branch.

3) Strawbridge suggests Congress' case was too broad. 'the outer reaches of the House of Rep, Congress powers are not unlimited' and he questioned the scope of subpoenas for private and personal information for all of Trump's family and 'minors' for no 'valid legislative reason'

4) he kept saying the subpoenas to investigate 'money laundering' was a legislative law enforcement issue and should be thrown out of this court. Judge Ramos responded, 'Part of Congress' job is to look at corruption of the law'

5) Trump's lawyer continued it was an 'ethical violation' and 'crossed the line to law enforcement'. He argued the breadth of the subpoena was too broad.

6) Judge Ramos responded the subpoenas require the reaches of family members because of the structure of the Trump org included his children. Letter interjected in organized crime cases of money laundering, it was often put in the names of the grandchildren.

7) Judge Ramos suggests 'a subpoena is a way to see if foreign governments and agents are infiltrating and are interfering in our country' gave example of Fusion GPS.

8) I wrote in my notes, 'At 2:50pm, Trump's lawyers lost their case'

9) Trump's lawyers argued Congress is overstepping their power and exceeding RFDA? Not sure what that is. Then they brought in the HUAC hearings for some reason. The Judge references Tea Pot Dome and I'm officially lost.

10) Trump's lawyers wanted to know why they wanted to 'go back so far' and Judge referenced Deutsche Bank had to pay 'heavy fines' regarding Russian oligarchs and money laundering.

11) 'WHY WOULD YOU GIVE MONEY TO TRUMP WHEN NO OTHER BANK WOULD TOUCH HIM?' Then a bunch of case law was referenced as my eyes glazed over. Strawbrige for the scope of the subpoenas be narrowed.

12) At this point, Letter said it wasn't just Trump and his family they were 'going after' there were NINE OR TEN others which were redacted!

13) Judge Ramos, 'On behalf of the American people courts do not look at motives. There is a separation of powers here. 'CONGRESS IS A CHECK'.

14) Letter 'WHY WE'RE HERE IS BECAUSE OF THE BASIC MISUNDERSTANDING BY MR TRUMP, THE REASON FOR CONGRESS'

15) Letter, 'the reason to subpoena inlaws and children, the drug lords put their companies in the names of their children, Mr Kuschner is the presidents son in law in the family business'

16) Trump's lawyers argued the disclosure of family members would cause 'irreparable harm' the judge kept referencing this is about the 'separation of powers' and Trump's right to financial privacy does not apply here.

17) 'The American people need to know Russian oligarchs not usie the US banking system to launder money and is our governments beholden to foreign financial interest. If they are THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW IMMEDIATELY'

18) 'We need you to uphold the Constitution and stop the obstruction. WE need you to uphold the house oversight. CONGRESS HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW'

19) 'The court is unpersuaded' the Judge repeated over and over to each point brought by Trump. The court denied consolidation and unlikely to 'succeed on the merits' 'irreparable damage' is inappropriate, there are 'TWO BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT'

20) 'The court is unpersuaded' re RFPA. 'the court disagrees RFPA DOES NOT APPLY TO CONGRESS' I don't know what RFPA is if someone can explain.

21) Judge, 'Article 1, INVESTIGATIVE POWERS ARE BEYOND DEBATE. IT IS WITHIN CONGRESSIONAL POWER TO INVESTIGATE'

22) Judge 'The power of Congress inherent in the legislative process is to EXPOSE CORRUPTION AND PUBLICATION OF CORRUPTION' in the Bill of Rights, 'public entitled to be informed and there is no time limit to foreign intervention'

23) 'Deutsche Bank loaned Trump $2 billion when they knew it was not properly underwritten' 'money laundering is a threat to our national security'

24) So Judge Ramos ruled 'against the plaintiff' Trump's attorney requested a stay which was refused. Judges final words, 'The legislative powers are left to the voters'

On January 11, 2017 I filmed Trump's first press conference at Trump Tower, he refused to call on @Acosta said he was fake news, and said he had 'no ties or loans with Russia' NINE times in 60 seconds
