[Rambunctious]

Sedition and treason, just like MAGA and fecking Murdoch, and this tax evasion.... brainwashed functional moron ignoramus seditionist Russian tool conspiracy nut job.

Not an argument... is that the best you got?...

 

[meaner gene]

What did Trump do to warrant a jury trial that is costing New Yorkers millions at a time NY can't afford to spend it.... If people are asking today... what is the crime... and the defendant is a former US president for Gods sake....
This is going to do real harm to the democrat party....

Now if you would like to try and tell us what the CRIME is please use this thread...

At the very least, Trump is a tax cheat. From the $13 for Barons boyscout dues from Trumps non-profit charity deduction. To nearly $100 million double claimed on his Trump building in Chicago.

The brilliant businessman who managed to avoid paying taxes the old fashioned way. By creating fraudulent business records to support them.

Trump has paid millions of dollars in taxes... don't you try and pay the least you can each year to Uncle Sam?... don't say you don't because we will know you are lying... the amount of national contribution to the nation Trump has made in his life dwarfs anything you have paid.... he employs thousands of tax payers in more than one state... and his income tax is in the millions... so don't even try this tax shit....

FYI
Weisselberg is in prison right now, for perjury.... And being paid in severance pay, $1.8 million by Trump on installments to keep his mouth shut........If he talks, he loses the severance, about $800k is left for him to receive.

Who is telling you this story?

 

[Seymour Flops]

The prosecution offered no evidence that Trump knew how the records in question were entered, or even who entered them. He did not make the entries himself, nor did he “cause” them other than to be head of an organization in which such tedious work is done several layers below him.

No evidence at all of the acts that it claims were felonies.

He is in jail for 5 months not prison... he is expected to be released next month early for good behavior....

Other than the lie that Cohen told yesterday, they have no evidence that Trump even knew about Cohen's settlement with the porn actress!

I'm starting to think we will get a not guilty verdict....

I'm still holding out hope Merchan will find whatever integrity he ever had and grant Trump's Motion for Directed Verdict.
After that - a straight out acquittal
Worst case, hung jury.

There are two lawyers on the jury they surely must see there is no crime... so maybe a hung jury... but I sure don't see a guilty verdict....

Then why isn't the IRS going after him... they audited his taxes and found nothing...

Trump also fraudulently avoid millions upon millions in taxes.
What you miss is that to decrease his taxes, Trump falsified business records to support his fraudulent deductions.

Who knows. Over Trumps lifetime that might cover to $1 billion he cheated from the taxpayers, what us little guys had to pay in his stead.

Al Capone ran soup kitchens all around Chicago.
But he also didn't pay his taxes.

Yes, and that is a good point that not, everybody likely understands. The media has given the impression that there is no question about Trump‘s authorizing the payments. But all we have evidence of is calling saying “I’ve got this” and assuring Trump that he would take care of it.

A retainer of $35,000 a month is a good reason for any lawyer to spend his own money to solve a legal problem for his client.

Refresh my memory. When was Trump convicted of cheating on his taxes?

She has been doing that sort of BS since I joined the boards. Just spouts off LW hogwash like TV "news". "Killarys lawyers had top-secret GOVT clearance" huh? "She did not destroy any phones or use Bleachbit" etc. things like that. Seldom if ever any link.
