Mueller May Have Information on Trump's Tax Returns (because of Russia)
MSN ^ | 8/24/18 | Alexandra Hutzler

Robert Mueller may be closing in on Donald Trump's undisclosed tax returns, George W. Bush's former ethics attorney Richard Painter says.

In an interview with MSNBC's Brian Williams during a recent segment on The 11th Hour, Painter said that the president must be worried as an immunity deal was reported to be extended to the Trump Organization's chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg.

While the immunity deal doesn't necessarily mean direct trouble for Trump, it resulted in prosecutors investigating the president's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen getting information under oath from someone deeply involved in Trump's business.

"Now we have the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization turning state’s evidence," Painter told Williams on Friday. "I have to say that every white-collar criminal defense lawyer knows when the chief financial officer turns state’s evidence, everyone in the executive suite is in a lot of trouble because the chief financial officer knows exactly where the money is coming and going.”

The goal is to get rid of him. The plot was pretty devious from the beginning.

If there was dirt in his tax returns, an unethical IRS employee would have leaked it by now.

Well then the goal no our side will be to go STRAIGHT TO ####ING WAR!!!!

Some pu@@y on here said “no!!!! we won’t ruin the republic for one man!!” meaning Trump.

I got news for you mother ####er, we let them kick Trump out, there IS NO republic.

It’s war if he gets ousted.

And everyone who talks big about their 50 guns at home but then holds their d.ck in their hands if he DOES get kicked out should just sell their guns and shut the #### up until they die

Note the item I highlighted. There is no "now" here. The CFO immunity story was reported as breaking news this week even though the story was actually months old.

But what the hell ... when you're being interviewed by Brian Williams of all people, it's not like anyone is interested in reporting accurate stories.

MR. Trump’s tax returns have been gone over with a fine tooth comb for over three decades. Just because he does not want them splashed all over the Lying Media does not mean there are illegalities.

Mueller is an a$$.

So Mueller is accessing Trump’s tax return with no warrant, and no permission.

F-ing criminal. Mueller is a traitor and should face arrest.

True. I was thinking that they’d manufacture a fraudulent tax return during the election...It would have been a fatal blow to his campaign but they went with the Podesta-Hillary route of being ‘influenced by Russia’

Didn’t Rachel Madcow get punked with fake Trump tax returns? Or, some nothing burger pages of his return?

It was a ‘big’ run up and then she bombed.

Yeah, I remember when Rachel Maddow got ahold of some Trump Tax Returns....

And it turned out that he had paid more than he had to.
That ‘bombshell’ sputtered out real darn fast.

I certainly hope Mueller does have DJT's tax returns and I hope he leaks them.

26 U.S. Code § 7213 - Unauthorized disclosure of information

Any violation of this paragraph shall be a felony punishable upon conviction by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution, and if such offense is committed by any officer or employee of the United States, he shall, in addition to any other punishment, be dismissed from office or discharged from employment upon conviction for such offense.

I think we’re getting close to that point. The Deep State desperation is apparent now because they know their treachery can never be exposed to the American people. They have to get Trump before he gets them! They’re the ones with something to hide!
