Trump didn’t have a problem. His stuff was filed properly and he’s not an attorney. Of all the people in the world who should have known the proper filing instructions its Ted and Heidi Cruz. No way around it.
I pity you if the IRS holds you to the same standard you hold Cruz & his staff. Miss the checkbox last year? JAIL.
You act like he has perpetrated a years long omission.
Are you really sure Trump has never made any mistakes on any Federal form submissions? Ever? Not one amended tax return? Ever? From any of the business entities? If he had, would it change your allegiance?
You really believe Cruz himself filled out the FEC filing form? Do you believe Trump sits at the computer and logs in to turbotax.com, too?
