Listening to Bloomberg’s Tim O’Brien, you’d think that Trump is another Al Capone, heading for a few years in Alcatraz.
Last week, the Supreme Court greenlighted the Manhattan District Attorney’s fishing expedition into Donald Trump’s tax returns for the past eight years. Trump, therefore, turned over a million pages of financial to the D.A. That’s good enough for the Trump Derangement Syndrome suffers to breathe new life into their Russia conspiracy theory.
Since 2019, when Robert Mueller admitted that Trump had not colluded with the Russians, Cyrus Vance, Jr., the Manhattan District Attorney has been trying to get Trump’s tax returns. The basis for this push was the vague claim that there was “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization.”
Of course, this isn’t how American law is supposed to work. Traditionally, the government first knows there’s a crime and then must prove it. What Vance’s office is doing is purely Soviet: They’ve got the man and now they want his taxes to prove a crime, any crime.
Still, Vance got a grand jury to demand Trump’s tax returns. As everyone knows, a prosecutor can get a grand jury to rubber-stamp anything he wants.

Trump has an army of accountants and lawyers do his taxes. He probably knows next to nothing about the details, and even if his team of experts made a mistake, Trump wouldn’t be held accountable, they would.
Eight years and a million plus pages.....
Yup! That's a big deal. If there had been any problems in his returns, they would have been flagged already by the IRS. Also with all those accountants working for the Trump organization, if there had been any big problems, at least one would have spoken up by now. That fact that NONE did is telling.
Most likely all they will find is some minor error in the way some of the forms were filled out and laughably try to make a big deal out of it.
If Trump gets a 2nd term, this could be what it takes for the whole IRS/Income Tax system to be completely replaced.
Three Felonies a Day.
