I imagine he was just too dirty for even the Biden DOJ to allow him to skate.

But one wonders what if this guy's lawsuits had succeeded? Would he have been indicted then?


A Texas man who launched an aggressive campaign to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot in 2024 has been arrested on tax fraud charges.

John Anthony Castro, a Republican presidential candidate, called on the Supreme Court to disqualify Trump using the 14th Amendment.

However, after the Supreme Court refused to hear the case, Castro began pedaling his campaign across America, submitting two dozen challenges against Trump’s eligibility to run for office.

Castro argued that Trump is unqualified to take office due to a constitutional clause prohibiting anyone “engaged in insurrection.”

Castro’s arguments mirrored that of public officials in Colorado and Maine, who also put the case forward that Trump cannot run for public office.

Castro’s lawsuits were dismissed in Florida, New Hampshire, and Nevada.

As The Hill reported, Castro was arrested and charged on federal charges linked to an online tax company where he lied to the IRS to assist clients in raising their returns.

Castro is accused of submitting 17 sets of fraudulent tax filings, a total of 33 charges of assisting in the preparation of false tax returns between 2018 and 2020

Castro allegedly exploited his firm to cheat the government in court filings.

Just sounds like the Biden DOJ applies the law, equally across the board. No surprise there.
 
So that means, Joe Biden's dog has been put down for biting people, I assume, or is the law not being applied equally. No surprise there!
I thought maybe that was a southern act of responsibility. I've always thought you Britts were alright.:D
 
Biden should be removed from office. If Biden was a dementia republican you can bet the farm that democrats and the media would be screaming about resignation.
 
George Carlin would have a field day with modern democrats, Um, Democrats think preserving DEMOCRACY means using the justice system to remove popular opponents is fair. Is that Really what Democrats think?

I loved Carlin.

If ha cared about the rest of humanity he might have driven his show to inform people rather than just laugh at his observations. It was his life though, and he lived it well.

Trump has been convicted of tax fraud.
And running a fraudulent "university".
And banned from running a charity.
They should lock up these crooks.
 
John Anthony Castro, a Republican presidential candidate, called on the Supreme Court to disqualify Trump

My impression is that this guy isn't dealing with a full deck.

From Wikipedia:

John Anthony Castro (born October 4, 1983) is an American tax return preparer and perennial candidate who has unsuccessfully run for political office as both a Republican and a Democrat. Castro is known for his involvement in Dixon v Commissioner and its related cases, an extensive series of court rulings that — in finding that Castro's clients improperly filed their tax returns — ruled that certain authentication requirements are not subject to waiver.

Castro is a self-described attorney, though has never been licensed to practice law. According to the New York Times, he has been involved in a "dizzying array of legal disputes", and has sued or been sued by clients, competitors, government agencies, and others. In 2024 he was indicted on 33 felony charges of tax fraud, though denies all wrongdoing.

There are so many corrupted Progs who are not questioned. A smidgen the last few days has developed at different levels of Progdom. Government contractors, politicians, DA's and such. Trump is not a man who lets up and die. He fights. Let this be your last battleground. Progs have had it one way for decades.

Yes, that's what democrats think because they're scared to death of Trump.
