Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) said on Friday broadcast of “CNN This Morning” that former President Donald Trump made “more mistakes” than President Joe Biden and was “a danger to our country.” Partial transcript as follows: PHIL MATTINGLY: Do you think the president helped himself last night in his response? GOLDMAN: I do.

And and it was important, I think, for him to show,...

I always thought Dan Goldman was a four star jerk. Man, this proves it.

A few people have started looking at the connections behind Mark Zaid, the attorney for CIA “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella. What is starting to emerge is evidence of what CTH outlined yesterday; the current impeachment process is part of a coup continuum, and everything around the whistleblower is part of a long-ago planned and pre-constructed operation. Two strong examples are very poignant: Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq "It's very scary. We will get rid of him, and this country is strong enough to survive even him and his supporters. We have to" 9:45 PM · Jul 1, 2017 AND Mark S. Zaid...

Current MSNBC talking head and former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill questioned the premise that "Trump would be just as bad as Hitler was. I think Trump would be worse. Hitler had a very distinct and narrowly focused objective of ridding the world of Jews and imposing a global fascist government. These were limited goals." "Trump, on the other hand, has no philosophy he believes in," she asserted. "All he cares about is selfish self-promotion. He has acquired a substantial following that is right here in America. Members of this following tried to forcibly overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential...

A Democrat congressman is walking back a comment he made against former President Trump over the weekend that sparked a social media firestorm. "Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again," Rep. Daniel Goldman of New York posted on X on Monday.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) often goes where wiser members fear to tread. On this occasion, Goldman may have delivered one of the most damaging moments for the Democrats. In the course of just a few minutes, the junior New York congressman seemed to demolish the defense of President Biden. Goldman was trying to get the witnesses to say that there is no evidence that President Biden was personally involved in the alleged felonies of his son. He raised the shocking WhatsApp message that Hunter had allegedly sent to a Chinese official with foreign intelligence contacts. In the message, Hunter wrote:...

Goldman Sachs reported significantly lower profit for the second quarter, hurt by write-downs in its consumer and asset-management businesses. The bank on Wednesday said quarterly profit was $1.22 billion, down 58% from a year ago. That amounted to $3.08 per share, which missed the $3.16 per share expected by analysts polled by FactSet.

Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) claimed Friday that Republicans will not find the alleged “bribery” tapes linked to President Joe Biden. “… paid Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden and kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an “insurance policy.” snip “I actually think they either know that [the tapes] don’t exist or they know that they will never get them,” he said. “Instead, what they’re doing is using the veiled reference to them to make allegations that will never be able to be proved or disproved, because they’re not going to find them.” Goldman

Goldman Sachs strategists are starting to change their tune on the potential for a U.S. recession. "We now see recession risk as higher and more front-loaded," Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a new note to clients. "The main reasons are that our baseline growth path is now lower and that we are increasingly concerned that the Fed will feel compelled to respond forcefully to high headline inflation and consumer inflation expectations if energy prices rise further, even if activity slows sharply." And while Goldman stopped short of saying a recession will occur, maintaining its preview stance, the...

Goldman Sachs plans to lay off as many as 4,000 employees as it struggles to meet profitability targets and retreats from its gamble on Main Street banking, people familiar with the matter said. Managers across the firm have been asked to identify low performers for what could be a cut of up to 8% to its workforce early next year, the people said, with some cautioning that no final list has been drawn up. Those cuts appear to be much deeper than ones taking place at other Wall Street firms like Citigroup, which is letting go of dozens of staffers...

Former President Donald Trump injected himself into the House Democratic primary races in New York — making eyebrow-raising endorsements of his one-time impeachment tormentor Dan Goldman and Carolyn Maloney in their respective races. “Lawyer Dan Goldman is running for Congress, NY-10, and it is my great honor to Strongly Endorse him. I do this not because of the fact that he headed up the Impeachment Committee and lost, but because he was honorable, fair, and highly intelligent,” Trump said in a statement released Wednesday on his Truth Social platform. “While it was my honor to beat him, and beat him...
