This tweet intimates that Justice Kennedy voted corruptly in cases because of his son’s work w Trump. That’s a very serious charge without evidence. Now the @adamliptak @maggieNYT “buttering up guy w huge ego to get him to leave” theory much more plausible.https://twitter.com/neeratanden/status/1012665534297624577 …

I’m as critical of Kennedy’s votes as many (and have another very critical piece out Monday
@slate) but there’s nothing to suggest Justice Kennedy did his job with anything but the utmost integrity.Show this thread -
I make the same point about Justice Scalia in my book. One can think his jurisprudence unsound and even dangerous without impugning his integrity.https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Contradictions-Antonin-Politics-Disruption/dp/0300228643/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516904231&sr=8-1&keywords=richard+l.+hasen …

So why did Kennedy retire when he did? He’s nearly 82, wanted to go last year but stayed another year likely because of Trump instability, and as I wrote
@slate the day before Kennedy announced, he appeared out of gashttps://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/06/did-justice-anthony-kennedy-just-signal-his-retirement.html …Show this thread -
This is not news people: "Last year, the Financial Times reported that Kennedy’s son was “one of Mr Trump’s most trusted associates over a 12-year spell at Deutsche.” https://newrepublic.com/minutes/149496/trumps-relationship-justice-kennedy-sounds-shady-new-report …https://www.ft.com/content/8c6d9dca-882c-11e7-bf50-e1c239b45787 …

This article reported that Kennedy’s son is a business acquaintance of Trump’s son, not that Kennedy’s son was Trump’s own banker for a decade plus.

Yet, there seems to be no answer why his bank was the ONLY major bank to keep giving Trump money.

This absolutely buries the lede. The coverage of this seems to have been very obscure.

Look at some of the things I have googled this morning on this topic. It has been out there, but you are right, buried the lede.

I hope you can see there is a vast difference between what is disclosed in this article and a $1 billion high-risk loan.

I only scanned it, but where does that article talk about one lending the other money?

And ignored just as long. No Russian trolls to boost the profile of that story.

Long being reported doesn't mean it is right or acceptable by people of integrity. Ruling on cases that directly effect your friends' families in material and immaterial ways is not acting with integrity.

Justin Kennedy was CEO of LNR Partners, which acted as the special servicer on the bail out loan on Kushner's 666 Fifth Ave deal in 2012. Today's NYT article mentions Justin Kennedy during years working at Deutsche Bank real estate dept, but not this link to the Trump family.
