I am not sure why anyone ignores the fact that the US public lost out on the taxes that would have been paid by the bank, based on the income it would have properly received if Trump had paid under the right terms? Our economy literally lost out on taxes that the bank should have paid the the US banks based on income it should have received by Trump. Everyone signs up for his rhetoric that no one was hurt .. there is a direct and measurable hurt that is even easier to express that these ones which Liz clearly identifies

Any way you know of to monitor the source(s) of funds if he actually posts bonds in the Carroll appeal or this one? Lots of concern being expressed about his becoming beholden to plutocrats and oligarchs around the world, especially given Engoron's order. He's strapped, and the PACs can't help him, nor will banks likely lend to him (to the extent that there exist any that Engoron hasn't proscribed). This seems like a very precarious moment, and if there's any of Trump's hide that isn't claimed by Putin, it's surely for sale right now. Is there any way to suss that out?
