“If the IRS had something on President Trump he wouldn’t be president right now.”

Exactly. I’m still amazed that they didn’t make something up at the time, instead they went with the BS russian collusion story.

Make no mistake, the neo-bolsheviks are going ALL IN for the kill.

I wonder if the leaked tax returns came from the IRS, the lawyers or someone else. Why is this not a chrime

It would be a gigantic chrime if anyone on our side did it to a Democrat. It would be the chrime of the chentury.

You mean the same tax “dodges” the Schultzburger family has no doubt used to pass the NY Times down through generations without paying estate taxes. Or the Kennedys or any large family farmer or business owner with an tax accountant that is worth anything.

A claim of fraud requires a showing of intent. The only intent I’ve ever seen in three year olds is to grab another cookie or to change channels to watch “fun” things. If Trump was doing complex tax avoidance schemes at the age of three, then he really was a genius fully prepared to do a great job as President.

Perhaps he should run that by the Murdoch family. I’m sure they use the same “dodges” to avoid taxes. If they’re legal and you don’t use them it is your loss.

I’m an Estate Planning attorney, and was a CPA doing taxes for about 15 years. In my experience, most people simply do not understand how the Estate/Gift Tax system works, nor the PERFECTLY LEGAL means that many wealthy people use to reduce or eliminate future taxes for their heirs.

I’m not going to read the NY Slimes article - given their record, plus the fact that estates the size of Fred and Mary Trump’s are almost certain to have been closely examined by the IRS, I presume that everything was done legally, given the laws on the books at the time. One thing that I know is that the Trump family has long used the highest quality tax and legal advisors, and that they’d be the biggest fools in the world to cheat (when they can and do make so much money in a perfectly legitimate manner).

Here’s the summary: If it has “New York Times” in the by-line, and it involves Donald Trump or his family, then the information which follows is a fictional as Snow White.

“Only three wrote this tripe?”

These three plus whoever on the Mueller “investigation” also worked on it.

I have always thought it likely that the Rosenstein 25th amendment / wear a wire material from McCabe came from Mueller. They have nothing and want to provoke Trump so they have something more to “investigate”.

I thought if that was true, we would see more stuff leaked from Mueller. And here we are !

I’ll bet that the NYT’s wouldn’t hold up so well under an FBI investigation.

The Slimes must have Trump confused with Al Sharpton.
