Has Biden reported his free luxury digs in the White House as taxable income? His free security detail? His free franking privileges?

Weisselberg was accused of receiving compensation "unreported or misreported" to the tax authorities, namely benefits such as a company car and a company apartment in New York City.

Why do well compensated people do this? They’re not going to miss the money.

Put this guy on the list of pardons for Trump’s “45/47” term.

Expect more tax violations with the buffed up and weaponized IRS agents.

Trump is friends with Sharpton, I don’t think Sharpton ever worked for him.

Compare this guy's treatment to the way then NY Congressman Charlie Rangel was treated for his long-time tax evasion:

… receiving perks that were not counted as income.

I think perks that do not need to be reported, often very large ones, is a privilege that is limited to our elected officials who appear to be exempt from any such IRS rule.

You go to jail. They go to one of their paid up free and clear vacation homes. I guess it is our way of rewarding all that hard work they do writing those complex bills they pass.

Beginnings of the inverted rockings takeover by the Fallen One’s
DNA injections were their indoctrination.

DrNA will move into complete hybrids as in the Days of Noah.

There out to dominate Adam, before the Revelation of the Embodiment of the Antichrist.

The Grand Deception.

Staying humble

Did he plea guilty because he is guilty? Or did he plea guilty to stop a years-long investigation with no end in sight?

He’s 75. He probably just wants to live whatever time he has left without this offer his head.

Because you can guarantee that this investigation and prosecution would follow him to the grave.

> Why do well compensated people do this? <

I don’t know how honest this guy is. But there are something like 100,000 federal laws and regulations. You or I might have broken a few this week without even knowing it.

It’s also worth mentioning that the tax laws are so convoluted that ask five tax advisers for a tax opinion, and you’re likely to get five different answers.

Depends on what the ‘deal’ is.

The problem is, once you plead guilty, any deal you think you made can be bypassed. They can still find a way to put you in jail.

This may be a dumb question but if the company car was used solely to do business and the apartment was owned by the company and the tenant was staying there because of serving the business would it be taxable?
