Goldman thrives on complexity and backroom dealing
Goldman Sachs, the international investment bank that is under more or less continuous government investigation, has forbidden senior employees from giving money to the Trump-Pence campaign.
But these wizards of Wall Street drew the new rule up in such a way that they can claim they are not trying to elect Hillary Clinton president.
It shows where they stand.
Ah, Goldman. Government’s Money Launderer.
Boy those politicians love to get their hands on Wall Street Moola.
As crooked as the administration that is printing money for them.
Goldman Sachs’ decision should be the topic of a Trump ad. Or even a Pat Toomey ad since they keep trying to hand Wall Street around his neck here in PA.
Heidi Cruz’s attack at Donald Trump.
Shout it from the roof tops!!!! Awesome for Trump.
Trump’s team is probably writing ads highlighting this little reveal as we speak... and the proof that Cruz was always a liberal continues to mount up.
Maybe a class action litigation in the making.
A thread from yesterday with some 40+ comments if anyone cares to read them.

Goldman Sachs Bans Employees from Donating to Trump

The rules kicked in Sept. 1 and will apply only to partners of the firm. The memo detailing
the rule change was first reported by Politico. The firm says the rules were meant to
remove any implication of so-called “pay to play.” Four years ago, the bank paid $12 million
to settle charges that a former Boston-based banker had picked up bond underwriting
business in the state while working for and contributing funds to the campaign of a
then Massachusetts state treasurer and governor-hopeful, Tim Cahill.
But the people in the Trump campaign are sure to question the timing. That’s because the
rules ban donations to politicians running for state or local offices, as well as donations
to state officials who are seeking federal office. That makes campaign contributions to
the Trump-Pence ticket a no-no. Pence is the current governor of Indiana....

It’s an SEC regulation and because Pence is a governor, it impacts Trump-Pence but not Clinton-Kaine.
Interesting point! Also, what happened to freedom of speech?
I thought so, too.
OK, that makes sense.
I am associated with a large national investment firm. We just received a memo that no one, not just partners in the firm, is allowed to contribute to Trump-Pence without prior approval of our Compliance Dept. This rule is industry wide.
