"How Trump managed to get a casino license without divulging every financial transaction he's ever had without whining about it is a head scratcher indeed."
You don't know much about how NY city operates, do you?
And the same with MOST big cities.
Trump never had a casino license in NY.
You don’t know much about Trump’s actual history, do you?
People cheering on this behavior by the Democrats need to step back and actually think what's taking place.
Legislators in Congress are seizing bank records... NOT because a crime was committed... but to search for a crime with which to attempt to impeach Trump.
If they do it to him, they will do it to anyone.
I have no problem people who oppose Trump politically or personally or whatever, but this goes over the line.
Trump was subjected to a two year investigation and was cleared. Even Mueller didn't go this far.
If you are OK with this behavior... it will come back to bite you. Bank on it.
A key congressional committee has already gained access to President Donald Trump’s dealings with two major financial institutions, two sources familiar with the House probe tell NBC News, as a court ruling Wednesday promised to open the door for even more records to be handed over.
Wells Fargo and TD Bank are the two of nine institutions that have so far complied with subpoenas issued by the House Financial Services Committee demanding information about their dealings with the Trump Organization, according to the sources. The disclosures by these two banks haven’t been previously reported. Both TD Bank and Wells Fargo declined to comment for this story.
...
The subpoenas, details of which have not been released to the public, are predicated on the notion that Congress has access to the information under the Bank Secrecy Act, which allows Congress access to financial information to search for money laundering, according to a person who has seen them.
Has Trump been indicted of money laundering? Is there anything in official with regards to this?
Or is Congress or anyone else in authority able to seize bank records because they feel like it?
“The potential use of the U.S. financial system for illicit purposes is a very serious concern,” Waters said in April when she issued the subpoenas. “The Financial Services Committee is exploring these matters, including as they may involve the President and his associates, as thoroughly as possible pursuant to its oversight authority, and will follow the facts wherever they may lead us.”
In other words, they have nothing, and this is a fishing expedition. They are "exploring these matters". It "may involve the President". They will follow the facts wherever it leads them. They are totally searching for a crime at this point.
This is a bunch of BS. The only saving grace is that Waters probably won't understand the documents.
Sorry. Many of us consider the area around NY city to be PART of NY city such as Atlantic City, NJ.
You MIGHT have heard the term "metropolitan area'" once or twice in your life.
And NJ is JUST as corrupt as NY city.
No. Just no.
No one with two brain cells to rub together considers Atlantic City part of NYC.
What silliness.
I do agree with your last point, however.
And it explains perfectly how Trump, who was under federal investigation at the time, was able to get a casino license.
If he knew nothing else, he knew who would look the other way for the right amount of money.
“A subpoena (pronounced "suh-pee-nuh") is a request for the production of documents, or a request to appear in court or other legal proceeding. It is court-ordered command that essentially requires you to do something, such as testify or present information that may help support the facts that are at issue in a pending case.”
A congressional subpoena can surpass the 4th amendment... Who knew?
You better think again.
People at the banking institutions are in deep ****!
Privacy is one of the most sacred of rights. Making it political, does not override the US Constitution.

Some helpful reading:

Enforcement of Congressional Subpoenas:
Law, History, Practice, and Procedure"
If Trump did something wrong and evidence that is released proves as much, I wonder if Trump supporters will ever address that crimes have been discovered....or if they will ignore that and continue to whine about how they feel the information was received by investigators inappropriately.

Yes, we have all heard about Trump's mob connections, including the Russian mob, which are right out there in public. He also hired mafia contractors in Chicago.
We need his financials to find out if the was a victim or a perpetrator. The way he is acting, he was a perp.
