Well, why didn't he say so SOONER?

Does anyone else see a difference between "no income of any type" and "with few exceptions"?

[underpants]

1. What about loans?

Because that's what this is really all about

[Maeve]

2. no income of any type WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS?????

We are definitely down the rabbit hole, here.

[Cha]

20. lol

[forgotmylogin]

3. "with few exceptions"

"You're free of terminal illness...with a few exceptions."

[Fresh_Start]

4. to be accurate...russian investment in trump businesses

isn't precisely income.

[MineralMan]

5. 'few exceptions?' Bwahahaha!

So, Trump did receive income from Russian sources. Good to know. Thanks, Mr. Trump Lawyer. We appreciate the heads up!

[WinkyDink]

6. Lawyers. They sure know their precise language, in this case "income." Now, what about LOANS????!!!!

LOANS----BIGLY--- are why and how the Russkis got ahold of The Donald's short hairs.

LOANS are why Trump is prepared to raid our Treasury and every single solitary federal program and change our tax codes---TO RE-PAY HIS LOANS AND "INTEREST."

And of course there is the neon-lit "with few exceptions." Isn't "few" such a lovely, deliberately-chosen IMPRECISE word? Perhaps Trump's lawyers cannot count with any accuracy? Two? four? Fifty? Five thousand?
What means "few" to Donald Trump?

He is a bought, paid for, indentured servant.

12. This

Trump has a lengthy history of bankruptcy.

Real estate markets crashed along with the stock market in 2008-9.

How much money did the Russians loan him to bail him out? And how much does he still owe them? (and yes, if the laundered money went through the Netherlands, we need to know that for the answer to be complete)

etc

If there was no Russian coordination with his campaign, what does he have to worry about in terms of an investigation?

If there is nothing sinister in his tax returns, why not release them?

Actions speak louder than words.

16. And now we know why his AC casinos went belly-up: Buy legit; suck dry; abandon. MAFIA S.O.P.

[bigbrother05]

26. According to Ms. Huckabee Sanders, a few could be countless

Don't you just love Trumpian math?

[yellowcanine]

7. "You are not pregnant in any way, with few exceptions!"

[WinkyDink]

9. Yep! "She has been virginal her entire life---with few exceptions!"

[WinkyDink]

11. "The Manson Family never harmed anyone---with few exceptions!"

[WinkyDink]

14. "The North Atlantic's icebergs are harmless---with few exceptions!'

[DetlefK]

21. "I'm not like these other guys. I love you and would never cheat on you... with a few exceptions."

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Does "no income" equal "no debts"?

[mopinko]

25. depends on if he has to pay them back.

and we know how he is about skipping out on payments.
so, no, it doesnt.

[shraby]

10. Amazing! I see it comes from a trump lawyer and not an independent source.

[yellowcanine]

13. "I never robbed a bank, with few exceptions!" - John Dillinger.

[yellowcanine]

15. "I am not a crook, with few exceptions!" Richard Nixon.

Just to make that perfectly clear.

[Little Star]

17. and Mary Duggar was never pregnant with few exceptions.

[Tom Rinaldo]

18. They wil cite "Miss Universe" as an example. Count on it.

Like a drug smuggler they will count on people seeing the "legitimate" item at the top of the crate and not looking any deeper. "See, it's just a pile of Miss Universe invoices, nothing to see here folks, move on."

[NCTraveler]

19. Assuming debt from them is not income.

That is the big issue. How much is our President in debt to Russian linked corporations/organizations.

Now they have admitted true income. Why even make that statement? These people are f'ing stupid.

[Cha]

22. Like trump's lawyer wouldn't LIE.. there's no doubt

.. lots of exceptions

[bhikkhu]

23. "Income", to a corporate entity, means "taxable profit"

...anyone with a bit of business or wall street experience knows how easy and common it is to shuffle that away out of existence. The statement may be factually correct, but still hide massive dealings; it means nothing without tax returns, paper trails of money transfers, and investigation into shell corporations and so forth.

[manicraven]

24. Okay, then show the income taxes to the American people.

[thecrow]

28. Trump is talking bout his "personal" tax returns....

What about his business returns? I believe that's where the Russians would show up, along with any other crap.
His personal returns would characterize his income as coming from his businesses.
His businesses need to be investigated if we are to see the whole truth.

[WinkyDink]

27. "As Trump's lawyers, we've never equivocated...with few exceptions!"

[Buns_of_Fire]

29. I'm sure glad we cleared that up. nt
