Why the I.R.S. Should Go After Trump
NYT ^ | 06 15 2018 | Philip T. Hackney

Posted on 06/16/2018 8:03:10 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

As a former attorney for the chief counsel of the I.R.S. who specialized in nonprofit organizations, I believe Mr. Trump is also criminally liable for his actions. If I were still at the I.R.S., based on the lawsuit, I would make a criminal referral, on charges of tax evasion or false statements on a tax return, or both.

On the tax evasion charge, the government must demonstrate that the defendant willfully failed to pay a tax he owed and acted to disguise or attempted to disguise that evasion. For a false statement charge, the government must show the defendant willingly signed a return under penalties of perjury, making a materially false statement that he knew was false.

These are not easy charges to prove, but the Trump Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is entrusted with money to be used exclusively for public charitable purposes. Any use of foundation money to benefit himself is akin to theft.

ETC...

so he was IRS Counsel under Lois Lerner? hahahahahahahaaah omg hahahhahahahahahaahah

One would imagine this person would creep away, hide under a rock and hope that no one would mention the IRS in his presence again. It's astonishing that anyone from that fiasco even admits to having been employed by the IRS.

“Trump’s hands are somewhat tied by media spin.”

That’s why you build a case against Mueller.

They will just never let go of any story that might put Trump in a bad light or might stir up someone to attack the President.

The ONLY way to correct this and ensure that it NEVER is repeated is to make examples of those involved, including Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Hussein 0bama and Madam Hillary Benghazi!

I vote for shooting those involved. That will ensure it will never happen again.

The law is consistent with that solution.

Matthew 7:3-5 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

With all the criminal stuff that's been done TO President Trump, this 'concern' is like someone wanting to investigate Jewish children who dropped gum wrappers while being loaded on trains going to Auschwitz...

The only purpose of MSM is to control all perceptions of the ignorant masses. The MSM only give out lies and misinformation-—the Truth (God) was banned after JFK was killed by the elites/FBI/CIA (secret societies/Lucifereans (sodomites)).

Actually, Truth (God) was banned by 1916 or so, (but secretly then), when JP Morgan bought up all the APs, since Rothschild owned all Reuter outlets. The satanist (boy-rapers) knew that if they could control all the information, they could control the Minds of the Masses (which they do today using the Hegelian Dialectic to force the Overton Window (total control/elimination of the Constitution). They could create “wars” and “depressions” and literally make the masses into gun fodder for the elite’s wars so they could kill and eliminate and destroy tens of millions of Christians, as they gained total control over counties and all their resources and the minds of their children— setting up their cartel (corporate) system of mind-control/resource/economy control.

The Rothschild’s created Bolshevism, Communism, Postmodernism, Darwinism to flip 2000 years of ethics back to the pagan, serf/hedonistic (sodomite/pederasty) days of Old—to slave ideologies where using others as a Means to an End is “good” (like with slavery and sodomy). The Age of Reason (Christianity) is being erased in the minds of all children so that Evil is Good, Slavery is Freedom and God is Dead.

Why the Dept. of Justice should go after Philip T. Hackney.

Because if you show me the man, I’ll show you the crime.

He said Trump but must have meant clinton. No foundation in the US should be investigated till the clintons are in jail. Or extradite them to Haiti and let the Haitians bring them to justice.

Trump disconnected himself from his businesses when he became POTUS. He is clean of the taint that the Dems are trying to put on him.

Trump Jr. explained that the Trump Foundation is a non-profit and NO ONE on the board draws a salary.
