A drug trafficking loan shark; MAGApardoned by Trump/Kushner/Dershowitz. Spectacular case of scum pardoning scum.

.....companies connected to Mr. Braun made 1,900 fraudulent and illegal loans, some with interest rates greater than 1,000 percent, according to the New York State attorney general.

Among those threatened was a real estate developer, who said Mr. Braun told him: “I will take your daughters from you,” according to court documents.

Mr. Braun threatened the rabbi of a synagogue that had borrowed money from him, according to New York’s attorney general. Mr. Braun told the rabbi he would beat and “publicly embarrass him,” adding: “I am going to make you bleed” and “I will make you suffer for every penny.”

Another borrower said in an affidavit Mr. Braun told him, “Be thankful you’re not in New York, because your family would find you floating in the Hudson.”

Mr. Dershowitz said he did not remember what steps he took to help Mr. Braun but said they were minimal.

Jared Kushner declined to comment, and Charles Kushner hung up when called by a reporter, as did Jacob Braun, Mr. Braun’s father.

sano: A drug trafficking loan shark; MAGApardoned by Trump/Kushner/Dershowitz. Spectacular case of scum pardoning scum.

Has a single republican here condemned Trump for taking dozens of the nation's most sensitive, top secret intelligence documents -- and still continuing to retain some of them?

I mean, hey, in the grand scheme of things, what's a little loan-sharking?

As someone in the comments section noted in reference to the photograph of Trump doing the stupid thumb's up while standing alongside Braun and his wife, Miriam, at his Roach Resort:

Remember good the old days when candidates feared getting photographed with a drink in their hands? Now they have 91 federal indictments and snap pictures with leg breakers. [Braun threatened at least eight of his loan victims and some of the loans he made were at rates of 1000 percent interest or higher.]
