(12,344 posts)I've seen people drag government cases out for years. You can use all kinds of delaying tactics in white color crime cases and tax cases. He owns 500 companies. He has properties all over the place. He launders money through real estate. How's the taxman going to know that property X of company #245 was worth $1 million but sold for $5 million? And if he does figure that one out, make him pay dearly for doing a good job - fight it, bury him in paper, complain to his boss, pound on the table, then say oh okay, maybe we made a mistake, let's settle this one. For ONE property for ONE person. And most feds have multiple cases. So they learn it's not really worth it. There are easier ponds to fish in.
And it doesn't hurt if you are friends with the US Attorney for New York (Giuliani).
The Mueller investigation is different. Instead of one investigator with 20 cases, he's now up against 17 attorneys and 40 FBI agents with only 1 case. And not just them. He's made it worth the time and effort for the CIA, the NSA, European intelligence agencies, the NY Attorney General and US Attorney for NY to look at him too.
