An incredible deep dive inside a tangled web of monied interests and state actors. I'll be trying to absorb some of this over the next few days. In the meantime, keeping an offline copy - just in case.
Across the Atlantic, the response from the United States government has been virtually nothing, and the reason for that silence is the story I am about to tell you.
If you have been following my work, you know why I think that is. Last month I published a piece connecting Jared Kushner to Jeffrey Epstein through Deutsche Bank. I showed you how prosecutors asked about merging those investigations one month after Epstein died, how the compliance officer who flagged both accounts was fired, how the banker who oversaw the overlap was found hanged while the FBI was trying to interview him, and how 102 politically exposed persons were hidden inside Deutsche Bank's system by a single employee and never identified.
Since then I have kept digging and what I found is bigger than Deutsche Bank and Kushner. If the connections suggested in these documents hold, the implications would rank among the most significant national security story in modern American history.

(28,145 posts)Ive been checking posts that show glyphs and they have been all , or at least the ones Ive checked , edited .
In the original post , it renders fine
In the edited post it shows glyphs .
For example the post above where I said it rendered fine I just went to see if I edited it the glyphs would appear .
I didnt even have to edit it , the glyphs were in the post presented to me to edit .. I just backed out and left it unedited . It still looks fine .
The reason I tested your OP is to see if the glyphs would show up when I copied the name at the source and posted it here
they did not .
But you hadnt edited the OP , im not sure why you show glyphs in the OP .
For a test , if you see the post above of mine it rendered fine without glyphs , let me know . Then I will edit it and the glyphs will appear .

(24,008 posts)Thomas Bowers, who worked above Trump�s personal banker, was 55
By Ian Spiegelman
LA Magazine-November 27, 2019
A former Deutsche Bank executive who reportedly signed off on some of the institution�s unorthodox loans to Donald Trump killed himself in his Malibu home on November 19. Thomas Bowers, the onetime head of Deutsche Bank�s American wealth-management division, where he oversaw Trump�s private banker, committed suicide by hanging, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner�s office. Bowers was 55.
Trump�s relationship with Deutsche Bank�which lent him around $2 billion after most other institutions had forsaken him for his history of defaults and bankruptcies�has come under investigation by two Congressional committees and the New York Attorney General, who are hoping the bank can shed light on Trump�s elusive finances, according to the New York Times. At one point, Bowers had a close connection to those finances.
Rosemary T. Vrablic, a managing director at Deutsche Bank who became Trump�s private banker in 2010 after being introduced by her client, Jared Kushner, reported directly to Bowers. Vrablic reportedly helped Trump secure loans from her bank, which Bowers approved�including more than $100 million to buy his Doral resort in Miami�even after Trump and Deutsche had to settle messy litigation over a Chicago loan that went bad.
Snip...
Bowers isn�t the first Trump-connected Deutsche exec to commit suicide. In 2014, Deutsche derivatives analyst William S. Broeksmit, who reportedly had links to Trump and Russia, hung himself from a dog leash at his home in London.
