Wait a minute! Justice Kennedy, Thiel, the Kushners, 666 5th Ave, & Deutsche Bank?

Wait, Justice Kennedy's kids were "backchannels" to...Donald Trump and Peter Thiel?




This seems really quite awkward.



(Again, the FBI arrested a state Supreme Court justice last week. Your position will not protect you if your conduct crosses a line.)

Justin Kennedy is doing some very interesting financing in interesting places, apparently with Peter Thiel.



OH WAIT, KENNEDY IS TIED TO THE KUSHNERS AND REAL ESTATE? HE DID REAL ESTATE FINANCE, TOO? LNR PROPERTY https://relationshipscience.com/person/justin-kennedy-4667743

OH, HE BAILED OUT THE ACTUAL 666 FIFTH AVE? 🤣🖕



HOLD THE PHONE, Justin Kennedy ran Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities for Deutsche Bank? And now his new real estate finance venture is in Miami? And he's ex-Goldman? https://www.bisnow.com/national/news/capital-markets/former-deutsche-bank-head-of-real-estate-teams-up-with-finance-vets-to-launch-reit-87123 … (h/t @brengoode)



Guys. Um. I'm beginning to think that maybe Kennedy wasn't alone in his decision to retire. But that's me. 🤣😎 </>

He's just taking an early retirement and huge golden parachute and getting out of the way for a younger zealot.

Could just be.

Because it was "suggested" to Kennedy that his connections to the Kushners, Trumps, Deutsche Bank, etc., may come out if and when the administration appeals anything that Mueller may throw at Trump. Kennedy would have to recuse himself, or risk being outed for his connections.

So.....retire now, so a new one, another Trump loyalist w/o these connections, can be put in place. One who won't have to recuse himself.

Now we know why Trump kept saying repeatedly, "If only I'd known that Sessions was going to recuse himself, I would have chosen someone else."

The message was not lost on Kennedy.

This stinks to high heaven. But I don't see how anything can be done. Except to prevent the nominee from being confirmed, but I don't see how that can happen.
