18. Yes I agree, but they didn't have all the info until now

The NY state taxing authority has been trying to take down the Trump Organization and their phony fraudulent "foundation" for years. But no employees/leakers have come forward with the necessary documents and testimony.

The breakthrough happened when the NYT discovered unredacted documents in Trump's sister's paperwork when she was being approved as a federal judge. Nobody had connected up certain facts about the Trump Organization until then, and the way they were scamming the city and state authorities. This info would never have come out by examining Donald J. Trump's taxes, it was a simple mistake his sister made, and now the shit has hit the fan.

Also I believe it has made a difference that Trump's longtime CFO Allan Weisselberg was recently given immunity to speak with Robert Mueller. Things are coming out now that were never released before, so stay tuned. This is only going to get better. The charges against the Trump Foundation are a different investigation, but they're all connected to the same family of grifters.
