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.

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

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.

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.

” "Thanks to the incredibly hard work and dedication of the team prosecuting this case, Weisselberg will spend time behind bars," Bragg said. "We look forward to proving our case in court against the Trump Organization."

As part of the plea agreements, Weisselberg cooperate with the prosecutors in the two criminal cases against the Trump Organizations.

IRS code is arbitrary law so you can create criminality out of anything you want. The IRS code contains more pages than The Bible.

Weisselberg, 75, was charged with evading taxes by receiving perks that were not counted as income. He pleaded not guilty to 15 counts, including grand larceny last year, which, in the state of New York, is the unlawful taking of funds or property valued at $50,000 or more.

Thought that benefits like a car, housing for the convenience of the employer as well as tuition for offspring are not uncommon benefits for corporate executives.

Maybe he felt he was innocent but concluded that 100 days at age 75 was better than he could get from a Trump hating jury in New York City.

Given that the post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot reasonably justify much of the taxes that we pay under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers imo, there's a question if the feds actually owe Mr. Weisselberg, and a whole lot of other taxpayers, compensation for unconstitutional taxes.

Consider that since one of the very few powers that the states have actually given the feds to dictate domestic policy is to run the U.S. Mail Service, most federal domestic spending wrongly based on stolen state powers, and likewise stolen state revenues uniquely associated with those powers, one option for unconstitutional federal taxes is for the feds to give citizens free postage for the rest of their lives.

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"

In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, had emphasized that the Founding States had left the care of the people to the states, not the federal government.

”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

Insights welcome.

The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government oppressing everybody under its boots...

The states desperately need to eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from “helping” the states to manage their revenues.

More specifically, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to start supporting their Trump-endorsed MAGA candidates for state lawmakers ASAP to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, and likewise unconstitutional interference in state affairs, by doing the following.

MAGA candidate state lawmakers need to lead ALL the states to effectively "secede" from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular vote for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).

Once 16&17A are gone, unconstitutional federal taxes permanently stopped, each state will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues (imo) that can be used to increase teacher salaries, also salaries of police and fire departments for starters.

Let's also include new state funding for infrastructure maintenance in that list. Undoubtedly many other state social spending programs as well to replace former unconstitutional federal spending programs.

In fact, Justice Louis Brandeis had seemingly reflected on Bingham's words (above) when Brandeis volunteered his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasize the unique power of the states to serve the people, ultimately depending on the kind of state social spending programs that the legal majority citizen voters of a given state want.

"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.

Corrections, insights welcome.

IRS ‘violations’...

Every single American probably has ‘violations’.

The IRS regulations are so complicated that if you have 5 different IRS agents help you with your taxes you will probably get 5 different results.

And if only one is ‘correct’ then the other 4 contain ‘violations’
