But Trump, who claims to be the greatest businessman ever, claims he had no idea what was going on at his company.

And his idiot supporters such as ILikePie will believe him.


In his testimony, Weisselberg detailed how he and the company’s comptroller, Jeffrey McConney, schemed to cheat state and federal tax authorities beginning in 2005 and lasting more than a decade. Weisselberg used the company to cover major personal expenses like rent for a luxury apartment on the Hudson River, Mercedes Benz leases for himself and his wife, and private school tuition for his grandchildren.

Tax evasion is a felony, the most serious type of crime. The maximum prison sentence is five years.

Why do you care if someone other than Trump goes to jail for tax fraud?

The most notable aspect being that nobody is even trying to pretend that Trump is not guilty of fraud on a large scale, day-to-day basis.  As the head of the Republican Party, Trump has successfully rebranded Republicans as the Party of Fraud- an endless stream of unjustified lies told in order to corrupt democracy and restore white power.  Trump could rape a five year old on television and Republicans would still vote for him because he countenances all their excuses for greed and failure and offers a kind of poltical legitimacy that no moral politician could.  Trump literally handed the Senate over to Democratic control because he insisted that Republicans put their weight behind the very few TV celebrities who might run as a Republican instead of polticially competant members of local constituencies because polticially competant members of local constituencies must eventually be accountable to some factor other than Trump.  Trump's autocracy and fraud and corruption almost exclusively cost Republicans their chance for real political gain in 2022 and I predict Trump will continue to drive the Republican party like lemmings from Dover, like children from Hamelin.

Crazy is that people think this is even close to bad. They’re saying 1.6 million dollars in evaded taxes over the span of years.

Even the IRS didn’t find anything, even though people like Trump are audited every year.

In the realm of billions of dollars that could be a book keeping error, but we definitely owned him. 1.6 million more dollars to Ukraine

On the Madcow show, Madcow revealed Trump paid what...32 million in one year?


1.6 million more dollars to Ukraine 
That can pay for the training of a few thousand Nazis! Thanks Trump!

There are two kinds of crime, regular and black. Republicans only care about black crime.
