Trumps Tax returns,

lwf said:
Don't you think that if there was actionable evidence of tax evasion in his tax returns, that Trump would have already been charged by the IRS?

They won't know that until they see his tax returns and compare it to his campaign expenses, loan applications, property appraisals, his accountants worksheets, etc.

If the DA didn't already have evidence that Trump cheated on his tax returns they wouldn't be using up valuable resources to keep pursuing it.

Trump's tax returns may serve as evidence in related matters.
 
How soon will information start leaking out? Never mind that is a crime to participate in the activity?



26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information

And if they are leaked then it's a fait accompli.

Let me ask all the tax experts around here a few questions:
1. Is it illegal to pay off a hooker through your business account?
2. How do you determine the value of a building you own?
3. If you're doing business with a foreign national how do you report that?

These are things Trump is accused of doing so I'm kind of interested to hear how you experts will deal with these matters.

1. It's illegal to use campaign funds to pay off porn stars to keep them quiet.
2. Hire an appraiser. Trump is suspected of undervaluing his property on his taxes and overvaluing his properties on bank loans. Both are illegal.
3. You report it on your tax returns. They'll be looking for foreign funding...especially from Russia.

The DA is asking for 8 years of Trump's tax returns.

The right thinks that taxes can't show anything, well if you got 10,000 other documents that say what is on the tax return is a lie ,then You can have something Criminal. also they want to suggest that it is a calculator issue that if it just doesn't add up on a calculator that it would just be a mistake nothing more, , what it is is the map to his criminal actions outside of the dollars and cents on the tax returns.

I'm going to steal that meme. lol
 
Only the Grand Jury will get to see Trump's tax returns.....unless he is indicted.

So, if we never see Trump's tax returns then it's probably because the Grand Jury decided there was no there, there. But if we do see them it's because the GJ thought he was guilty enough to indict and prosecute.

I know, right? lol A meme like that could save a lot of time around here. I love that it's Judge Judy. lol
 
Well after 4 years of watching how trump runs business I would be totally shocked if he didn't handle his taxes the same way.

If so there is a mountain of lies there

/// "Quite hypocritical of you to denounce Trump for running from his lies....... " /// So we now have Fletch on DP record as finally admitting Trump runs from his lies. Make a note of this post, folks. That's progress(ive).

Trump was the unindicted co-conspirator referenced in the Cohen indictments and guilty plea. But yea Trump is clean as a whistle. TRUMP U

Obviously, the question in it's current form is too complex. Let me rephrase on a slightly lower level:

Trump could have simply said that he would release them at the conclusion of the audit. Instead, Trump made up a b.s. story that you obviously believed. Now, why did he lie?

Youd have to ask him now wouldnt you. Any other stupid questions you need to get off your chest?

There are countless examples of accountants and lawyers assisting clients in tax fraud. The risk is less that there is something hidden in the returns as that Trump failed to disclose something or mischaracterized something. And on that, the accountants/lawyers might not even know, as they can only work with the information they are given. That’s part of why it helps criminals to have family running things.

Given that (1) Trump sees avoiding taxes as “winning”, (2) he has no aversion whatsoever to lying, (3) he seems to only hire shady lawyers/accountants, and (4) he tried so hard to keep these tax returns secret, I hardly think it is “preposterous” to expect they will indeed reveal illegality.

Is there any evidence that Trumps accounting firm has engaged in fraud in the past? And what sort of things would Trump have 'failed to disclose' to his accountant that would show up in the returns?

I'm pretty sure you can find the answer if you really want to. The guy it's attributed to originally wasn't a football player.

Damn it! And I was just going to say it was Tommy Tuberville.

This is a hoot, we expect the worse from your turd hero because he is literally the lowest form of humanity in the world, He is by far the biggest liar I've seen ever, hes the ugliest American I've ever seen. He is by far the biggest threat to this country, he litterally has no redeaming value at all. The man is pond scum, those are just facts, so speculating that Scum bag is a criminal is hardly way out there.

so your entire argument is mere opinion, which also just happens to prove my point about preconceived notions of bad intent.

Well the fun part is I have endless reasons to assume scum bag would do absolutely anything at all and you have nothing to support the opposite. This is just another O.J. moment. He is guilty also, he killed his wife.

The question was framed in a manner for you to provide your thoughts. Since you seem to have none of your own to offer, we can move on. Now, do you have any more idiotic attempts at stupid responses planned, or can we move on?
Truthfully, it would be easier on all of us if you just admitted to being a Trump "parrot" and quit wasting bandwidth with childish deflection.
Trump is a pathogical liar and you are either too infatuated with him or too gullible to figure it out on your own. Either way, you are just wasting everyone's time.

I remember him being one of the early Trump "rah-rah" guys. Honestly, I thought that he would grow out of it. Silly me.
