'Donald Trump is going to get indicted' when New York gets his tax returns: David Cay Johnston

Published 14 mins ago on July 11, 2020
By Matthew Chapman




On Saturday’s edition of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” Pulitzer Prize-winning Trump biographer David Cay Johnston predicted that the Supreme Court’s decision on President Donald Trump’s tax returns will lead to an indictment from New York prosecutors.

“What do you think might be out there?” asked host Joy Reid.

“Well, Donald Trump has already had two income tax fraud trials by the state of New York and the city of New York,” said Johnston. “They were civil fraud, not criminal fraud. The New York Times in October of 2018, in this brilliant project on Trump’s taxes based on records we know came from his niece — without question, he and his siblings are major-league tax cheats.”

“What the district attorney is seeking is the business records, the accounting records, the banking records to 2011,” said Johnston. “If those deviate from what Donald trump put on the tax returns, I expect they’ll indict Donald Trump for criminal tax fraud. How quickly it comes depends on how successful Trump’s lawyers are in delaying and using procedure and interlocutory appeals if they don’t like the federal judge overseeing the case — his rulings.”

Republican party could save the human race and they won’t. It’s that simple really.

From 95% approval down to 75% since the Putin's bounties report broke and the GRU's $500K was found in cash.

They could all go back in line though (remains to be seen), but I saw a few Reagan's former voters upset on YouTube. Don't know what they'll think of convicted Stone's story, and/or what mayhem the pandemic is bringing into the Rust belt...

...which states that IRS SHALL provide the returns on request of Congress.

SHALL.

Not MAY.

If you do that on a loan application, or when you're paying property taxes or calculating the gain or loss for taxes, it's fraud, isn't it?

Lock him up.
