The surprise witness at tomorrow’s hearing before the January 6 Committee, per two sources, is retired Justice Anthony Kennedy. SCOTUS has been jacked by theocrats and the decisions of the past couple of weeks on school vouchers and prayer after football games should be in Latin. 1/5

A 2/4/20 article in The Guardian, on “Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an Epic Trail of Destruction,” by NYT finance editor David Enrich describes Kennedy retired in June ‘18 & gave trump an opportunity to nominate Kavanaugh. Else Kennedy still is on the bench. 2/5

The article notes trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank often was discussed during Mueller’s investigation of Russian election interference and links between trump and Moscow. Kennedy’s son Justin ran Deutsche Bank’s commercial real-estate team and continued to lend to trump 3/5

even after Deutsche clients suffered severe losses with the collapse of trump’s casinos & trump’s subsequent bankruptcy. Some wondered if Justice Kennedy retired due to pressure from trump’s camp. If the two sources are incorrect, we still face a sudden “star” witness. Some give trump 4/5

a pass even after he has admitted wrong-doing. Actually, John Dillinger was better at business & more humane than trump. I’m Mark Small: pro-choice, anti-gun, pro-civil rts GOP nominee for Indiana House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 5/5
