and here is where the ship starts to sink for Trump..
Today emails which included both Manafort & Gates were publicly disclosed for the 1st time. In this email they are discussing Stephen Calk as a "campaign doner" and wanting to put him into a WH position for his contribution.
We need to discuss SC for Secretary of Army.”
Yes they were actually trying to push this guy for Secretary of Army position, but he ended up o Trump’s economic advisory council. In what can now be considered a "pay to play" scheme as which is most of Trump's cabinet and other official positions..
Stephen Calk secured a $9.5 million mortgage to Manafort..
“The government intends to present evidence that although various Lender D employees identified serious issues with the defendant’s loan application, the senior executive at Lender D interceded in the process and approved the loan.”
“[Lender D] expressed interest in working on the Trump campaign, told [Manafort] about his interest, and eventually secured a position advising the Trump campaign.”
“[He] expressed an interest in serving in the administration of President Trump, but did not secure such a position.”
“Here, it would be difficult for the jury to understand why the loans were approved without understanding that the lender approved the loans, in spite of the identified deficiencies, because the senior executive factored in his own personal ambition.”
Calk is "Lender D" as it's been identified as the bank he worked for The Federal Savings Bank
drip...drip..drip... the WH is being drained..
