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.

"No one with two brain cells to rub together considers Atlantic City part of NYC."


Thank you for the well thought out mature, adult, intelligent, compliment!


"and it explains perfectly how Trump, who was under federal investigation at the time" and was he indicted or CONVICTED of ANYTHING?

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.


Wells Fargo, TD Bank have already given Trump-related financial documents to Congress

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.

The problem is that they gave them to her upside down so she can't read them.

Look how many private individuals have stood up Congress and congress has no power to prosecute.

Which does not override the 4th amendment.
Due process in a court of law, and a warrant issued for specific articles and effects.
Congress is only POLITICAL. Congress has no prosecutorial power.
It is not Congressional Power to investigate private individuals. They only have authority to have oversight of government employees.
