Trump may be investigated for tax fraud, says Manhattan district attorney

After more than a year-long legal battle with Donald Trump, Manhattan’s district attorney said Monday he could have grounds to investigate the president and his businesses for tax fraud.

District attorney Cyrus Vance is seeking to persuade a federal appeals court to let him enforce a subpoena for Trump’s tax returns, four days before it considers Trump’s request to block the August 2019 subpoena to his accounting firm Mazars USA.

Lawyers cited in the filing “mountainous” public allegations of misconduct linked to Trump and his businesses to justify a grand jury probe into tax fraud, insurance fraud and falsifying business records. Vance had previously said the subpoena was also related to possible insurance and bank fraud.

Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Trump, declined to comment on the filing, according to Reuters.

Funny, you say he's trying. He already finished his work. There's simply no way out of this anymore, Putin won the cold war based out of a crumbled Soviet Union which is a lol.

It's not even like Putin "won" - Russia's collapse into a kleptocracy was entirely a product of US foreign policy. You guys sent a bunch of Chicago school dickheads out there to help the Russian mob and intelligence services loot the Russian economy amid the collapse of the USSR and then did a surprise pikachu face when these thieves and murderers you enriched and empowered continued to be thieves and murderers. It's a self own for the history books.

The Ted Cruz thing is you can be "smart" in terms of doing well in school and still be an absolute moron when it comes to figuring things out or understanding context. Ben Shapiro even said when he was at Harvard Law he just ignored what he was taught. Also part of it is they want power or money and will do anything to get it but based on tales of young Cruz and Benjamin they are true believers and never got smarter as they aged.

I mean look at the elites in the legal profession. Richard Epstein was an NYU professor (or still is?) and is the most or second most cited legal scholar and is a loving moron outside of his specific field. He's the guy who melted down when Isaac Chotiner cornered him on his awful COVID articles to the point Epstein stopped tweeting lmao. Alito is on the Supreme Court, went to Princeton and Yale Law, and is probably the dumbest person to ever sit on the Court. He's dumb enough that a non-law school educated dope like myself can pick apart his opinions and he's also a HORRIBLE writer on top of it.
I work in academic-adjacent field and often host visiting scholars with multiple phds and professional titles out the wazoo, and I wouldn't trust half of them to sit on a toilet the right way round. It's remarkable how stupid some of the best educated people in the world are.

Carole Cadwalladr is a loving moron who every follower of UK politics knows from experience to ignore. You can usually assume that the opposite of anything she says is actually true. When Johnson got the rona everybody was calling him a twat and hoping he would die.

From the Guardian:

quote:

If Dr Sean Conley was indeed correct when he said Trump had been diagnosed with Covid-19 sometime on Wednesday, the president (or people around him) knew he had the virus when:

He flew to Minnesota and attended an event in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening.
He flew back to Washington DC that night with staff on Air Force One
He left the White House at 1.15pm on Thursday to go to his golf club where he addressed donors outdoors, and met with other donors at an indoor roundtable. The father of one of those died of Covid-19 in spring.

That's like a standard thing from Trump. Any time he gives someone a gift it turns out to be a cheap knockoff.

Like that time he gave a few hundred acre "park" to New York, that tuned out to be an unmaintained piece of wasteground, covered in bramble bushes and derelict houses full of asbestos lmao

e: oh, and he had it valued at several hundred million dollars and then used the gift to write that sum off his taxes

Why are the docs even announcing what drugs they've shot him up with, if the effects/usage guidelines on those drugs would obviously and immediately contradict their narrative that he's doing fine? There can't be any compulsion for them to tell the public what specific course of treatment he's on. It don't make no fuckin sense.

I don't get this mentality at all. What kind of person goes I have enough money to do whatever I want and what I want is to sit in an office? Enjoy some TV, play some games. I dunno do rich people stuff if you want enjoy yachting or whatever, why are you in the stupid office?

I work closely with some unbelievably rich people, and have done for the past decade. They don't really understand anything, not even their jobs; it's all performative - strictly for appearances, but I don't think they even understand that bit.
One guy I know will turn up to the office at 10am, sit there playing with his mobile phone until 1pm, go for a two hour lunch, take a nap at his desk from 3-5, and then dash out the door, complaining about how exhausted he is. He's supposed to be overseeing 100-150 staff and managing hundreds of millions in assets, but I have literally never seen him do an hour's solid work in ten years.
I once made the mistake of asking him to fill out a bit of government-mandated paperwork (just four sides of A4 box ticking) and he hunched over the bit of loving paper, red in the face, occasionally stamping his feet and snapping at people, before eventually throwing it back to me half-finished (and incorrectly at that). Anything like practical work was a burden and an affliction to him. But all through the rona lockdown and furlough he's been snorting and crowing about lazy workers sitting at home on government handouts while "real people" have "kept working". In my experience most rich people are like this to some extent or another. I always think of them as 4 year olds dressed up in their dad's suits pretending they have jobs.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I can't wait to see what Trump does if he clearly loses the election and is faced with the prospect of having to spend two more months in the White House as a lame duck.
Like he's clearly going to do or say some unbelievably petty poo poo and I just have a morbid fascination with what it might be. Will he just up and walk out in a petulant tantrum, leaving the seat vacant? Will he attempt to ram through as much poo poo to protect himself as he can, while dealing with the disintegration of his subservient cult as all around him desperately try to protect themselves? Will he go scorched earth and try to destroy and sabotage as much as possible, leaving a huge mess for his successor?

It's going to be a bountiful harvest of lols either way, and all I feel certain of is that the process will be entirely lacking in :decorum:

Can the Supreme Court make a ruling after the votes are counted? Assuming Biden actually somehow gets more EC votes can they just say "ah yes well we see that now that everyone's legally cast vote has been counted that Joe Biden has won, but we're actually going to roll that back to the count as of Tuesday night because this is no longer a democracy"

Probably not, but they can say x hundred thousand ballots are ineligible for y arbitrary reason and, oh my, it seems to give President Trump a second term!!
