Regarding the sudden, shocking retirement of conservative Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
The Gadfly finds this tidbit in a NYT article pretty fucking interesting:
But they had a connection, one Mr. Trump was quick to note in the moments after his first address to Congress in February 2017. As he made his way out of the chamber, Mr. Trump paused to chat with the justice.
“Say hello to your boy,” Mr. Trump said. “Special guy.”
Mr. Trump was apparently referring to Justice Kennedy’s son, Justin. The younger Mr. Kennedy spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank, eventually rising to become the bank’s global head of real estate capital markets, and he worked closely with Mr. Trump when he was a real estate developer, according to two people with knowledge of his role.
During Mr. Kennedy’s tenure, Deutsche Bank became Mr. Trump’s most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion in loans to him for the renovation and construction of skyscrapers in New York and Chicago at a time other mainstream banks were wary of doing business with him because of his troubled business history.

That was in the context of what, if any form of direct relationship Trump and Kennedy had among themselves.
Basically, as it turns out, Anthony Kennedy's son was a former, decade-long executive at the German-owned investment bank Deutsche Bank. While at Deutsche Bank, the younger Kennedy hooked up with Drumpf's flim-flam organization and eventually became Drumpf's leading lender to the tune of a cool $billion - this at at time when American-based banks were refusing to do business with Drumpf because they knew he was a duplicitous con-artist with a well-documented history of unscrupulous business dealings.
Deutsche Bank is currently in investigator's cross-hairs in conjunction with various state and federal investigations of suspicious financial activity related to Drumpf and others in his orbit, and possibly even being tied in to the Russian collusion shenanigans.
Check this out - this is a somewhat jagged timeline of Robert Mueller's interest in and eventual subpoena of Deutsche Bank records involving banking transactions with Drumpf's Damien "The Omen" looking-like son-in-law Jared Kushner:
If anyone out there believes that Jared Kusnher's finances are clear and separate from, and beyond the influence of Donald Trump's tiny-fingered grasp, you really need to just go stick your head in the nearest toilet and flush repeatedly.
Just makes you wonder -- and as The Gadfly has been asking for many months now -- how deep does it go? How deep does the ratfucking subterfuge of our American democracy truly go?
The Gadfly is pretty certain that a former USMC combat veteran who goes by the name of Robert Swan Mueller III is going to give us all the answer to that question pretty goddamn soon -- and when he does, unlike The Gadfly, a whole lot of people in this country are going to be mighty fucking shocked.
