Trump's tax fraud story seems to be forgotten already.

[milestogo]

Maybe it was just drowned out by the Kavanaugh story.

Our president is and has always been a total fraud. The people who voted for him don't care the least little bit.

[Squinch]

1. Yes. We need to bring it back.

2. +1

[gordianot]

3. He has a talent to capitalize on distraction.

Kavanaugh provides the greatest example of Trump’s touch of death. We are not in a Civil War of ideas but a Civil War of pure corruption and greed.

[Demovictory9]

16. He does. Sooo many horrible things he does is quickly forgotten

But they will remain in the history books

[Gothmog]

4. Not really

The myth of trump as self made man is gone

5. New York State officials have not forgotten.....

How State Officials and Unpaid Taxes Could Force Trump to Liquidate Part of His Family Fortune

Sean Shaw, the Democratic candidate for state attorney general in Florida, has a message for Donald Trump. If elected, Shaw will investigate the President’s financial activities across the Sunshine State. “We’ll pursue any area that is worthy of pursuit,” Shaw told me in an interview this week. “The charity not being charitable. Trump Mar-a-Lago and emoluments.” Shaw told me he would go “where the law takes me.” He plans to investigate whether “the President of the United States is personally profiting from the Presidency in Florida.”

Trump, of course, has several properties in Florida, including Mar-a-Lago, a private club that doubled its initiation fee after Trump was elected. Since Trump took office, three of its members have exerted sweeping influence on the Department of Veterans Affairs. Another member was named the U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic. Shaw also said that he will investigate reports that a Trump-branded development project in Sunny Isles, Florida, bears hallmarks of possible money laundering. Shaw made clear that his investigations would be broad and open-ended: “They may lead you to tax returns, financial records. I don’t know where they lead. No one is above the law in Florida. No one. We are going to make it such that if I find bad stuff going on, we’re going to go where it takes us, no matter how big.”

One recent poll put Shaw just behind his Republican opponent, Ashley Moody, who has expressed support for President Trump. Even if Shaw loses, Trump may be vulnerable in several other states where he has done business. In New York, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, Letitia James, is all but assured a victory. James is promising Democratic voters that she will aggressively investigate the President. After this week’s stunning Times investigation alleged that the Trump Organization’s wealth was built, in large part, on a variety of complex tax schemes, many of which could be illegal, she issued a statement:

There must be a full examination of these claims. I welcome the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance’s inquiry, and call on every agency with jurisdiction‚ from the Internal Revenue Service to the New York Attorney General’s Office—to follow the facts wherever they may lead. No stone should be left unturned. Donald Trump’s days of defrauding Americans are coming to an end.

8. And they won't let it go.

It will come back to bite him in the ass soon enough.

[marble falls]

6. The problem is that the IRS has known all about this for over twenty years ...

there's no new information here. All it does is speak to cheetolini's character or lack of it. These are the same tricks the wealthy have used and still use. Part of the reason for the high prices of fine art or Stradivari violins is the use them as tax dodges when they are 'donated' to foundations the owners themselves set up.

The tax laws are the creation of the wealthy.

[ROB-ROX]

7. I AM TOTALLY SURPRISED

There millions of people in this country whole are drones. They fail the basic social requirements which deal with improving society. These people are basically breed to reproduce stupid people.... Then they are brainwashed to not think about right and wrong. There are millions of us ready to progress and there are millions who do not know any better then a toddler.......

[Sedona]

9. I think Mueller has known about this for some time

I have a feeling 45 is still using the same scams to move money tax free to his kids.

Mueller has the tax returns and has for some time

[Sedona]

14. Was it something I said?

[llmart]

17. I said the same thing in another thread...

about passing money to his kids. They're all guilty of it. I hope Mueller and/or the State of New York get all of them.

[PJMcK]

10. The NYTimes reprinted their article in Sunday's paper

I don’t think you’re correct. This story isn’t going away.

[anarch]

12. well, I see two potential reactions to the story: "I knew it all along!" vs. "FAKE NEWS!!11!1"

Nonetheless, it's out there...substantiated and backed up by evidence. And being pursued by the state! So, it won't be forgotten...it will be ignored by his base, however. And probably most everyone else had already made up their minds about the piece of shit anyway, so....

The Family Business: Trump and Taxes

[Charmin One]

18. Republicans are awfully quiet about this

[Snake Plissken]

19. If you change the headline to Hillary's Tax Fraud, it would be #1 with a bullet

But Trump has successfully convinced the media that his criminality does not matter.

[lame54]

20. The NYT reprinted it today

[kskiska]

21. I'm halfway through Bob Woodward's book.

It's horrifying how even the WH staff and the Pentagon hates T and can't reason with him, and while they come and go, he's still there. I have to wonder, how can this continue?

[ooky]

22. Fraud is normal for Trump.

Everybody hears it and says "so?". Nobody does anything about it. Its fine with Republicans as long as they have him to rubber stamp their legislation and judges. That's the country we live in now. All we can do is get out and vote, and try to convince others to do the same, if we want to change it. Sooner or later people will get tired of living in this corruption. Hope its this November.
