Trump Could Be Investigated for Tax Fraud, D.A. Says for First Time

[HenryChinaski]

W_ ....

I do honestly believe that Trump made every effort to pay as little in tax as possible.

I believe that Biden and his family have profited handsomely from public service. If it was legal for Biden's family to do business on official visits by a sitting VP it should not be.

Stretch.....

Is that the narrative you see across the pond? Understandable as the Democrat media has invested heavily in numerous fake narratives that suck yhe oxugen out of all else intil the move on to the next one.

Unfortunately politicians "profit handsomely from public service" in ways of which I find questionable. All politicians should be put under the microscope, held to a higher standard and maintain transparency. Donald has much at stake and the way that he's conducted his business for the last 40 years, outside the law is now catching up with him and likely his kids.

Do you believe Trump committed crimes related to his taxes? Yes or no.

Maybe we should put up more constraints on this kind of thing. But do you know which family would be hurt the most by putting more constraints on this kind of thing? I'll give you a hint. It's not the Biden family.

Across the pond? Are you talking to me? I am a U.S. citizen and I live in the U.S.

Unfortunately, for Trump and his unethical and immoral supporters, the media has the receipts. Literally.

This is all a bunch if idiot leftist wet dream bullshit. If they think they are going to investigate anything they arent investigating TRUMP...they will be investigating the Trump corporation and that includes lawyers, tax preparers, etc. An individual investigation on trumps personal finance would again involve accountants and tax preparers.

And even IF they found something which is highly unlikely, the entire thing will be thrown out if it has to pass judicial review...and you can bet it will. The state of New York demanded returns so that they could see if they could find anything to act on. That smacks of politics.

Idiot leftists and their wet dreams.

@W_Heisenberg

Trump has been under the microscope since before he was sworn in. Investigators in conjunction with the media have fed narratives that eventually proved untrue.

Meanwhile the media is making sure little or nothing is learned about Biden.

Trump has been able to thwart investigations. The news came out yesterday that the special counsel backed down from a more substantial investigation into his finances. Trump still hasn't divulged his tax information to Vance. You speak as if Trump has actually been under a microscope. He really hasn't in terms of his suspected financial crimes. So what you're saying just isn't true. And if you're talking about the special counsel's investigation with respect to conspiracy, much of what the media reported ultimately turned out to be true. And the reason why everyone was suspicious of Trump is because Trump did suspicious things. For instance, the most glaring example is the Trump Tower meeting where Trump kept changing his story every time he got caught telling a lie. That's not the media's fault Trump is a pathological liar.

Meanwhile the media is making sure little or nothing is learned about Biden.

What's the media supposed to do about someone whom nobody suspects of having committed any financial crimes?

Sometime as an exercise; pretend that you were elected to congress and need to have a home in your home district and a place to live in or near the beltway.

What are you talking about?

Deutsche has complied with the subpoena. Michael Cohen provided enough evidence to warrant criminal investigations regarding Trumps longtime habit of improperly inflating and undervaluing assets for to obtain loans and for tax purposes. Then there's the matter of the check that Cohen recently produced that Trump Jr signed, the illegal payment to Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors have had copies and other records for months. They're slowly building a case and Donald will throw his kids under the bus in a heartbeat.

Cohen

Here are your choices with Cohen. He was a corrupt piece of shit and a lousy lawyer who proved that he failed to serve his clients legal interests when he served as Trumps counsel, or....he got caught with shady dealings that had nothing to do with Trump and lied his ass off trying to appeal to idiot lefts in the hope of getting off on his charges.

Either way...

Cohen

Birds of a feather. they were together for 12 years. Evidence is evidence, he either produced documents implicating Donald JR in making illegal payments to a porn star or he didn't. My money is that he did and that's exactly why he's ducking the subpoena. Are you surprised about any of this? Trump is the kind of guy that lied, cheated and paid someone else to take his own college SATs.

 

[OpportunityCost]

And i think the Manhattan DA should be investigated for political HACKERY

BTW: How many rioters did this Liberal ****wit let go like the other cowflop DAs?

A better question is why couldn't they manage a single prosecution for the financial crisis when Wall Street is within their district. Pay for play was definitely on the table with the ratings companies, amongst a multitude of other illegal practices.

Selective prosecution is being quite selective in SDNY.

Trump Could Be Investigated for Tax Fraud, D.A. Says for First Time (Published 2020)

A new court filing from the Manhattan district attorney offered rare insight into the office’s investigation of the president and his businesses.

www.nytimes.com

Wow.



I'm shocked, but not at all surprised.

*yawn*
the butt hurt leftist in NY are just mad.

I find it interesting that they have had 0 issues with trump's taxes for the past 30 years or so.
now all of sudden his taxes are now a huge issue.

Looks like another political witch hunt. The fact is the DA can't come up with charges that trump is challenging in court
so he is throwing shit at a wall like most leftist do.

not that i expect in court in NY to actually adhere to the law. judges just make the law up anymore.

NY was just letting them go. They would get arrested and bail was set to 0 and they would simply walk out of the jail.
one guy was arrested 3 times in 1 day and just walked out.

this DA should be arrested for a slew of things 1 being aiding and abetting.

 

[ClaraD]

Sure, but that isn't on a tax return.




Yes, but a city DA can't go after Federal tax violations.

actually it is....you declare your property and interest as deductions....so, yes, it is on your tax returns...and comparing those to the bank loans do guess what? oh, that is right...verify the bank fraud.

 

[mrjurrs]

Okay. The headline says this: "Trump Could Be Investigated for Tax Fraud, D.A. Says for First Time"

And the quote says this: " into the office’s investigation of the president and his businesses. "

So...which is it? Why are they saying he "could" be investigated when they say they are already investigating him? Hmmm?

Could it be they really don't care about any investigation? Could it be they just want to spout off stuff about Trump? You know...influence useful idiot voters?

Yep...I think that's it.

They have been investigating Campaign Finance Law infractions. What they found has led to a tax fraud investigation.

That isn't true at all https://www.cityandstateny.com/arti...york-charged-donald-trump-with-tax-fraud.html Donald and Fred have a long history of Tax fraud. Fred was a master at disguising assets and avoiding taxes owed. The issue here is that the statute of limitations has ran out for what was pulled 20 years ago. However he could still be pursued for back taxes and civil penalties, though that's unlikely as well. The prosecutors are focusing on more current violations of the law. In the end this is going to dent Trumps financial empire and likely put his sons in prison for a stretch.

 

[tres borrachos]

the dude cheated a CHARITY. he's been a crook since the 1980s.

i will not be surprised in the least of all the law breaking they find all over the Trump Org. hell, i expect them to find crazy shit (like expensing abortions, the company paying for mistresses, etc).

He's been a crook since long before the 80s.

 

[CaughtInThe]

He's been a crook since long before the 80s.

yeah. but very publicly since at least the '80s.

now that we know he paid someone to take his college entrance exam i think it's safe to assume that he's one of those people that are dirty (probably) starting around 12-14yo. i'm sure his sister knows.

charged never found guilty. go figure as usual no evidence.

 

[HenryChinaski]

charged never found guilty. go figure as usual no evidence.

No evidence? The New York Times’ investigation last October reached back to the 1980s, uncovering that Donald Trump and his family members filed tax returns for valuations for their properties far below what independent estimates would suggest. Fred and Mary Trump, the president’s parents, passed down over $1 billion in wealth to their children, for which they paid only $52.2 million in taxes – despite the fact that the 55 percent tax rate on gifts and inheritances of that size would have racked up a tax bill of at least $550 million.

Along with Fred’s nephew John Walter, the Trump children co-owned All County. Beginning in 1992, All County started to deal with billing and invoices between Fred Trump’s empire and the many vendors and crews he paid to supply maintenance and services to his many properties, such as superintendents, boilers and kitchen supplies. Vendors Fred Trump had done business with for decades began receiving their checks from All County, and they were paid whatever price they’d agreed to with Fred. But when it came time for All County to bill Fred Trump’s empire for the checks it had written to vendors, the company generated invoices with the money Fred owed marked up 20 to 50 percent, or even more. The extra 20 to 50 percent from Fred wasn’t going to the vendors, but to the co-owners of All County: Donald, Maryanne, Elizabeth and Robert Trump, and John Walter.

This scheme also affected Fred Trump’s rent-stabilized buildings in New York. An owner of a rent-stabilized building needs state approval to raise rents beyond government-set annual increases, and something like capital improvements could be used to get that approval. The Times found that the Trumps also used padded All County invoices to increase rents in some of these buildings, claiming more than $30 million in major capital improvements.


The New York times has more than 100,000 (pages of) documents all provided to them by Trumps own niece Mary.

 

[longview]

So the NYC DA, says that evidence of Trumps illegal tax activity related to NYC taxes, exists in Trumps Federal tax return,
but the only person who can legally release the tax return is Trump himself.
My first question is how does he know such evidence exists, unless he has seen an illegal copy?
My second question, is under what legal authority, can a person be forced to incriminate themselves?
(assuming the release of the tax returned contained any incriminating evidence.)
So we are stuck, if the DA knows from an illegal copy, there is evidence there, the evidence is now inadmissible.
If he is simply guessing and on a fishing expedition, then he has no grounds to request the tax return.

Idiot leftists and their wet dreams.

Cy Vance already has bank records from well known money launderer Deutche Bank, the State tax records, property tax records and load records

When the records from Mazars gets turned over he knows exactly what to look for and what he expects to find.

this isn’t a fishing expedition, this is a criminal prosecution.

 

[Roadvirus]

According to Michael Cohen, Trump evaded NYS taxes. The DA has standing because the alleged crime was committed in his jurisdiction.

Conehead is a proven liar. His words are garbage.

 

[Roadvirus]

Stop at think about something, The current president of the United States paid someone to take his SAT exams

That's been debunked. Sorry.

Did I read that right?

News reports are leading to investigations? " However, prosecutors listed news reports and public testimony that alleged misconduct by Mr. Trump and his businesses. The reports, prosecutors wrote, would justify a grand jury inquiry into a range of possible crimes, including tax and insurance fraud and falsification of business records. "

I mean, I get it one one hand, investigative journalism and all, but this just takes the cake.....how do you even present that, ladies and gentleman, our first exhibit is, Huffington? Like seriously? If they had enough for a grand jury, they should be able to get it without the media....that's just insane.
