Feds Eye Tiger $ex Probe
The National Enquirer ^ | 12/20/09

Posted on 12/20/2009 9:43:36 AM PST by marshmallow

In a potentially devastating development for Tiger Woods, his growing sex scandal and hush money payoffs have caught the attention of the FBI and IRS.

A top source in Washington, D.C., divulged that in mid-December "discussions were underway" involving those two government agencies about whether to launch a federal probe of the billionaire golfer.

"They haven't pulled the trigger yet, but they smell blood in the water," the source told The ENQUIRER.

"Their interest was heightened when they heard reports suggesting that Tiger may have been paying for high-class call girls.

"It had already come out that Tiger's company may have paid for the travel of at least one of his girlfriends for a recent hookup in Australia. If Tiger is using company money to do it - and if illegal activity such as prostitution is taking place - then they're going to come down on him."

Tiger Woods.

Still entertaining. Still a great diversion.

Coincidentally, a diversion from the pimps and whores called FEDS!

"Excuse me, but when did it become a Federal crime for buying a piece of ass?"

When you write if off as a federal tax deduction. I bet the pro (not the golf pro) will get an audit, too.

Taxing “hush money”. Now there’s a novel concept! Of course once everybody knows that monies have been paid, they immediately fall into the crosshairs of the taxman.

Unfortunately, some calcuation and shenanigans are going on here. The more time the LSM and the true media, the internet, is tied up with discussing this asshole’s potential loss of half his shit, the less time concentrating on Climate FRAUD, Health FRAUD, CAPnTAX FRAUD, MEXIFRAUD, ECONOFRAUD and all the other ‘frauds this government is engaging in, the less the cretins of this country become aware of what is really happening.

I think is becomes federal when they cross state lines to transact ‘business’

I hope this ‘madam’ sees a marked drop in her business since she is so willing to talk publicly about her clientelle

You would think a $15K piece of a$$ would come with some privacy

Remember when perverts and prostitutes used to slink away into the darkness when discovered? Instead of making the big time?

Same entertainment the Romans witnessed. Throw Tiger to the “lions” while Rome crumbles from within.

It all kind of revolves around things feline ; )

They’re going after Tiger because he has money without power. Whenever you have money but not power, those with power will figure out a way to take your money so that they can buy more power.

If you buy a piece of ass across state lines it becomes federal. That’s one of the major power grabs Hoover got when building the FBI, any crime that crosses state line becomes automatically their jurisdiction.

“Craig Silverman a former Colorado prosecutor”

Hmmm, wonder if HE has always followed the rules sexually. No affairs?? no prostitutes??,,,ever?? When a prosecutor is this worried about what another man does witha woman ,,,, it makes you wonder how clean he is too, or if he might be gay.

Tiger's a one-man RICO case.

The elite political class does not fall under the same US laws as the rest of us. For example, you don’t think the congresscritters and their families will be waiting in the same lines as the servant masses for health care, do you?

If you call a girl in Phoenix and have her come to LA to “do your stuff” and pay her that’s interstate prostitution, and the FBI has automatic jurisdiction.

Tax evasion--buying ass with tax exempt dollars.

And that is exactly what is wrong with this country. Federal authorities using the commerce amendment to subvert the intention of the constitution. The argument is bullshit.

Isn’t there a spot in the US - - the midwest? - - where you can have your hooker plant her heels in two different states and her head in a third state?
