Add it to the list.
The list of things that should put Trump in jail but he will never see consequences for.
Maybe, maybe not. This is pissing with the IRS. They really can get a pain in the ass, even for the rich.
You mean the IRS that Trump’s party desperately wants to cut off as much funding as it can for? It is entirely possible that if NYS didn’t step in and take the lead on pointing out his fraud, the IRS would have never found it, given the current funding battles in Congress.
federal agency. better hope he doesnt win the ability to pardon himself
After all, tax evasion is how they got Capone back in the day. It would be poetic if Trump was nailed for the same thing.
I wouldn’t say poetic more than a demonstration of how this country has utterly failed to shore up the justice system so we can properly take care of rich connected criminals…
I hope it isn’t, that would grant him satisfaction for being compared to him. I hope he gets jailed for shitting in a pool or something equally as humilating
He’s starting to run low on money. Keep on going after him, he is hemorrhaging funds for legal defenses everywhere.
Are you sure he’s actually paying them? Sure, he’s racking up bills, but…
That’s the list I’m talking about, unfortunately.
That’s how they got Capone. Tried and true way for getting crooks that rely on henchmen and ambiguity.
Trump’s modus operandi includes a lot of implication. He makes ambiguous comments; henchlings that interpret his ramblings the way he wants get promoted; those that don’t, get fired. Prosecution is difficult when they can’t get a good, direct quote proving intention and direction.
But crooks will be crooks, and there’s always the IRS to save us from the worst of them.
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” (also expressed as “troublesome priest” or “meddlesome priest”) is a quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While the quote was not expressed as an order, it prompted four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket. The phrase is commonly used in modern-day contexts to express that a ruler’s wish may be interpreted as a command by his or her subordinates. It is also commonly understood as shorthand for any rhetorical device allowing leaders to covertly order or exhort violence among their followers, while still being able to claim plausible deniability for political, legal, or other reasons.

“It appears that Trump knowingly and intentionally broke the law. The only question is how many laws.”
What a dumb question, all of them of course, because he is the greatest law breaker of all time. /s
The /s wasn’t needed, everyone knows only one person holds that record: Bender Bending Rodriguez. Trump hasn’t even committed burglarsonarceny.
This said, Bender never raped anyone… So perhaps I’m mistaken.
How did you forget Clamps!!?
What about that radiator woman from the radiator planet?
That’s over half a slander damages award right there!
I like that!
$83.3M is one slander damage, just as one Scaramucci is eleven days.
I propose we also add “Donald hands” as a length unit of measure. Maybe it’s just half of the existing hand unit of measure.
Tax evasion? Trump? Law and order leader? I can’t believe it.
“What could be” = What actually is
Everyone knows, but presumption of innocence is an important precept.
For the courts presumption of innocence is important, but as people, we know this guy. Trump University, Trump Charitable Foundation, Trump Org. All have been found by the courts to operate fraudulently. We don’t owe him any benefit of a doubt.
The press does. That’s why the title is the way it is.
Perhaps we can refer to him as a systemic fraudster rather than ex-president?
I appreciate you’re trying to be the voice of reason here, though
It’s absolutely tax evasion he’s a Republican.
Trump on sharing his financial success: “I look very much forward to showing my financials, because they are huge.”

Shocked. Yes, shocked I am that
