Trump's Taxes Are the Best Case Yet for Putting Him in Prison

[douglas9]

Don’t let the cynics who know little about our tax system trick you into thinking there was nothing all that new or important in the six years of Donald Trump’s taxes released Friday by the House Ways and Means Committee.

In fact, even if some of it was previously teased by the committee, the dump includes a cornucopia of information that affects your wallet—including powerful evidence of criminal tax evasion.

Among other things, Trump’s tax returns make a strong case for restoring the law that until 1924 made all income tax returns public. Newspapers back then ran long lists showing the income of and taxes paid by the wealthiest Americans.

Knowing that your income, deductions, and tax paid will be publicly available can do far more to encourage honest tax-paying than audits, which are increasingly rare and increasingly superficial.

Not even 500 of the nearly 25,000 households reporting incomes of $10 million or more in 2019 were audited. That’s 2 percent—just 1 in 50. Only 66 audits were completed.

3. I thought a strong case was stealing classified documents

and getting caught red handed.
Or being recorded asking to find 11880 votes among other things..
Rape, etc..

4. K&R - This is an important and informed opinion piece

Highly recommended.

David Cay Johnson is one of the few people who have successfully beaten Trump in court. Heed his words as he knows an awful lot, much of which he is legally barred from revealing because, you know, Trump.

5. The more crimes he committed that are discovered, the less likely it seems that

there will ever be any indictments or a conviction. There seems to be a fascination about how much corruption and criminal activity there's been that he just got away with.
