Trump Organization Is Charged in 15-Year Tax Scheme
The real estate business that catapulted Donald J. Trump to tabloid fame, television riches and ultimately the White House, was charged Thursday with running a 15-year scheme to help executives avoid paying taxes by compensating them off the books.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has been conducting the investigation, also accused a top executive, Allen H. Weisselberg, of dodging taxes on $1.7 million in perks that should have been reported as income. Mr. Weisselberg, Mr. Trump’s long-serving and trusted chief financial officer, faced grand larceny, tax fraud and other charges.

Re: Trump Organization Is Charged in 15-Year Tax Scheme
So shocked 
People will still vote for him ans say how much of a great business man he is.
I am sure unfortunately somehow not fall and him and he won’t be charged. And all his fans will say it wasn’t his fault

Even worse, still support the asshole and hope he'll be back in 2024. It'll never not be shocking to me that anyone took this incompetent fool seriously and actually voted for him. Fingers crossed he ends up in jail at some point.

This is just the tip of a big corrupt iceberg. Weisselberg could be a in position to flip and help prosecutors.
Investigation is ongoing.

Not surprising. He always admitted to finding loop holes in the tax system. Not saying it's right but he never denied doing so.

Exactly. This really is not news worthy as so many rich know the loop holes and it has happened for many years. They all do it no matter how right or wrong it is.
How about talking about Harris and her “trip” to the border. You know the one all the way across Texas that isn’t even AT the border. More news worthy but it has been swept under the rug.

Bingo. 
Loopholes are legal workarounds. Loopholes don't get you indicted and potentially land you in jail. But ILLEGAL business practices will.
The entire Trump organization is littered with criminal behavior.

Nobody cares about "many others". The Trump organization is under investigation right now, that is the topic at hand and all anyone cares about. Furthermore, after 4 years of a president going to GREAT lengths to hide his financial information as well as flat out REFUSING to ever cooperate with turning over his income tax returns this is obviously a pretty big deal.
There is no reason to try and deflect the conversation to "many others", it's irrelevant. Not to mention, "many others" do get into legal trouble for their questionable business practices but a former president acting criminally is a far bigger story.

Trump Organization Is Charged in 15-Year Tax Scheme
Come on, Trump himself said he could murder someone in Times Square and people would still defend him. This thread is perfect proof of that. I have my own issues with the border and Kamala Harris. The difference is, what she is doing is not illegal. I love how people think this is just a loophole. This man was PRESIDENT. Most of what he and his administration did was not only illegal, but immoral and unethical. But yes, let's crucify Harris (who has her own issues and faults, not denying that, but it's not remotely the same) and while we are at it, I'm sure there are people who still want to talk about Hillary's emails.

Trump Organization Is Charged in 15-Year Tax Scheme
What is very interesting is just the amount of people in Trump’s circle that have ended up arrested/indicted for various crimes relating to his affairs. I think we are at 10 now. Maybe more. Not including obviously the 500+ rioters arrested for terrorizing the Capitol.
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out

Re: Trump Organization Is Charged in 15-Year Tax Scheme
Everyone knows how I feel and who I agree with on here so I won't even bother quoting.
But I really think the comparison to the Cuomo thread is interesting.
There were several people in that thread who dislike Trump who were able to say they would never vote for Cuomo. Basically they were able to go along with the theme of the thread without the whataboutism.
But deflection and whataboutism occurred so quickly on here.
From a psychological standpoint, it's sort of interesting to watch people twist themselves into pretzels to justify their votes for Trump. It would be downright fascinating if it weren't going to potentially lead to the downfall of our nation.
The man is a criminal 100 ways to Sunday. It's been proven many times over. From his openly admitting he stiffs contractors to inciting a riot and everything in between, there is no doubt at this point.
I've shared this info before but all the treason is detailed in the Senate's September 2020 report by a REPUBLICAN led committee.
If his impeachment "trials" were real, actual trials, he would have been convicted, no doubt.
Yet people double, triple down. And defend and deflect.
That's some real investment right there. I have never been that invested in any politician, ever.
Interesting.

...
"At this moment in the Republican Party, his presence is dominating," said Matt Terrill, a partner at Firehouse Strategies who served as chief of staff to Marco Rubio's presidential campaign.
...
"The base of the party right now appears to be uniting behind President Trump and his rhetoric," Terrill said, adding that it is very clear who is driving party policy and strategy: "It's been those GOP base voters, it's been those primary voters."
On Saturday, Trump made his first appearance on the political stage in months, speaking to delegates to the North Carolina Republican Party state convention. He made disparaging comments about party members he considers disloyal and offered a surprise endorsement in the state's race for a U.S. Senate seat.
Across the country, ambitious Republican politicians jockeying for that loyal base have taken to imitating Trump's style and repeating false claims about the election as signs of loyalty to the former president's "America First" worldview.
...
The EX president still has major influence on the GOP, and therefore the nation as whole. It is important that people keep an eye on him and what he's doing, since he is directly and indirectly influencing how some current politicians are acting. He is unfortunately not irrelevant yet.
He's even talked about trying to get elected to the House, and becoming Speaker of the House just so he can try and impeach Biden.
Him and all of his buddies committing many Federal felonies need to go to prison.

I would the majority of politicians are. Not a breaking news story. Others just have not gotten caught or have gotten away with it.

I don't know a single person or entity who does this and I run in very anti Trump circles.
We mostly talk about how to combat the voter suppression tactics and keep the House and Senate in 2022.
No one talks about what Trump is doing.
Literally no one.
But perhaps in your circles there is talk about him. Not sure about that.

This is so creepy to me that you continually point out to people how you stalk them and bring up personal details (maybe they shared on the site maybe not) on posts that have NOTHING to do with what you point out. Where on this thread did birthdays come up? And then to bring up the posters plans for her husband? So weird.
