How exactly is pocketing tax-free 1.4 million "not benefitting"?The allegation is that Trump's organization assigned different values to the same properties - low ball valued for taxes and different highball values for getting loans. So whether Trump's orgainaztion paid the IRS the correct amount on the assets claimed in not the issue. He may or may not of. I don't know. But if Vance can show Trump's organizaiton essentially cooked up two sets of books .... then imo Trump's gonna have to pay some money. IT SEEMS that Vance is going to say its all the accountant's fault, and if he can hang the poor sob for fraud .... I'm not sure how that works, because the accountant wasn't actually benefitting. But it seems Vance has some plan to put the accounts scrotum in a vice grip and turn the screws.are you saying IRS audits are bumkis?? Actually Vance had to get the returns before he could file the charges he is apparently filing.LOL now they have Trumps tax records and they have announced no charges.This ought to do it. They could never get him when he was just a citizen of New York renovating buildings, but now that he was president, and moved to Florida - well, now they got the evidence.Apparently it has moved from civil to criminal. Just announced on MSNBC. No link yet.
Lawrence O'Donnell will be discussing it shortly.
They couldn’t “get him” because prosecutors had no access to his tax returns or his financial records. Without “reasonable cause” they had no evidence upon which to ask for them.
The prosecution of Michael Cohen for campaign finance violations in paying hush money to Stormy Daniels, and lying to both Congress and in FBI about Trump’s Moscow Project, opened the “probable cause” door. As did Cohen’s revised testimony to Congress about his participation in bank fraud, tax fraud, and wire fraud in the Trump corporation’s day to day operations.
The Trump Family Trust is facing tax fraud allegations in the handling of the Fred Trump Estate, as well as a lawsuit from Mary Trump and her brother that her Aunts and uncles defrauded them out their father’s 1/5 share of their Grandfather’s $300 estate.
Then there’s the tax shenanigans with the upstate New York property.
Trump made a lot of enemies in New York and New Jersey, with his bankruptcy scams, stiffing contractors, and clogging the courts with his nuisance law suits.
Everybody knew he was dirty - he bragged about the illegal shit he did, but nobody could prove it. There was no evidence. Now they have evidence.
Now go poop in your pants again
I don't see Trump doing time over this. I'll be shocked if he actually paid what he should of though.
