I keep hearing Trump claiming himself to be the law and order president. Yet he's an unindicted coconspirator. His tax returns and loan applications reveal fraud. He is surrounded by criminals (Manfort, Flynn, Cohen, ...).

So how the hell can a criminal surrounded by criminals continue to call himself the law and order president?
 
Because of terms you used, like criminal and coconspirator, you have no choice but to name the actual crimes and present just enough evidence to suggest it is worth an indictment.

I am not after the political spin machine route, what do you have that others who presented this information from the media are not going as far as you are.
 

How is it that you don't know that Trump is an unindicted coconspirator?

So your smoking gun is the opinion of a low-level prosecutor from the 1970s (who currently doesn't list tax law as one of his specialties) about the supposed inappropriate avoidance of about $300k in taxes?

Let me ask you this: in your expert opinion, if he had just increased Ivanka's salary by $747,622, instead of paying it to her as a consulting fee, what difference would it have made with respect to the Trump organization's taxes?
 
Ask the Clintons and you’ll have your answer.
