If he wore a tank top under those jackets he'll probably get 15 years.

It's obvious that anyone who owns an ostrich jacket is guilty of tax evasion.

Its a hit trial against a wealthy FOT....friend of Trump......this is what children do or third world dictators...go after your enemy's friend because you hate your enemy....Mueller will not get out of this without mud on his face and I can't wait....That fucker and his goons have had it coming ever since they hounded an innocent man to his grave in the Enron investigation....and knowingly left thee innocent men in prison for 30 years to protect his lying murdering snitch.....Mueller should be the one in prison....

If you want to prove tax evasion you need to demonstrate wealth above what is being claimed in taxes

Dufus thinks you pay taxes on your clothes in your closet.

Fascists want to convict people for having something they don’t have.

You build a case...
You or I may have a $500 suit. If he has a closet full of custom tailored Italian suits at $10,000 each it shows a certain amount of wealth

If they can demonstrate assets way beyond what he claimed in income, something funny is going on

GE paid $0 in taxes.

So why isn’t the CEO in prison?

Follow the money....

You pay taxes on your income. If Manafort is claiming $100,000 income yet lives a lavish lifestyle, something funny is going on

GE paid $0 in taxes.

So why isn’t the CEO in prison?

Oh ya, they legally owe $0.

And GE had to claim all their income and liabilities

If it is found that Manafort didn’t, he is going to jail

Just like Al Capone

Obviously they owe taxes in Leftard logic.

No you pay taxes on your income. If you are shown to spend millions of dollars and your tax returns claim you earned clearly less then that. Questions will be asked. Trying to paint it as somehow irrelevant is intellectually dishonest or plain old dumb. For the record I don't think you're dumb.

Taxable income, shitforbrains. And you prove it using paperwork, not spending.

As I posted in another thread, I just bought a 5,800 sq ft home with acerage on a lake.

And I will be in a low income tax bracket those year.

Sure and you could probably give a reasoning within the tax code that allowed you to be in that tax bracket. Since the government makes it a point to highlight his spending habits, it's safe to assume that those expenses fall out of the capability of his declared income, taxable or otherwise. Or are you saying that you don't have to say what your income is on a tax return? Not for nothing, showing a disparity between what you earned and what you declared is how they got Capone. I saw the movie.

BS. A person having a yacht only makes them a criminal in Banana Republics.

Ask the judge, he told the prosecutor to fuck off with his bullshit.
