HERE YA GO!"Now we have the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization turning state’s evidence," Painter told Williams on Friday. "I have to say that every white-collar criminal defense lawyer knows when the chief financial officer turns state’s evidence, everyone in the executive suite is in a lot of trouble because the chief financial officer knows exactly where the money is coming and going.”
Painter continued, saying that every time Mueller gets "anywhere near Donald Trump's money, Donald Trump starts threatening to fire Bob Mueller."
Yeah, we keep hearing the same old crap = you don't know what Mueller has.
You don't either, but now you add Trump. We don't know what Trump has. No, you don't.
Trump's tax returns have long been a controversial topic. The billionaire real estate mogul first refused to release them on the campaign trial, a normal tradition among presidential candidates. Then-candidate
Trump has argued that he couldn't release the records because he was being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. But previous presidents and vice presidents have also been in the same situation, and have publicly released their tax returns.
Since when did Mueller start playing IRS too? LOL.
If there was anything wrong about Trump's tax returns, the IRS would have done something already. It is their job, not Mueller's.
Another nothingburger thread from the bitter Left hoping for anything to get Trump on.
The investigation into the Russia interference and its possible connections with the Trump team...is a REPUBLICAN investigation on behalf of the country. It was a Russia investigation...but it came to involve the Trump team because it captured the Trump team communications with the Russian agents. That's how Trump team became involved in the first place. There are at least 87 communications between Trump's team and the Russian agents during Trump's campaign...and we know about one meeting for certain between Trump Jr., Kushner, & Manafort, and a Russian agent, in Trump Tower.
Trump became the focus of part of the investigation because of obstruction of justice when he tried to kill the investigation by firing Comey.
The Mueller investigation was charged with those investigations, but also was given authority to turn over to proper authorities any other crimes it ran across. Mueller referred to Va. and New York white collar crime evidence on Manafort and Cohen.
Tax returns can be related. That's how you would follow the money possibly given by or to Russian agents, through a complex system of multiple shell corporations, if there is evidence of wrongdoing by Trump related to money crimes. There is evidence of such crimes at least regarding the campaign finance violations, and lies regarding that.
In any case, there is civil litigation by New York AG and taxing authorities into the Trump Organization's charity, which seems to have been a slush fund that may not have actually been operated as a charity. That's where a $50k payment came from that may have been used for paying Russian agents, and a lawsuit settlement by Trump came out of that charity. I'd expect the NY AG to get the Trump Organization's tax returns, and maybe Trump's personal returns, as well. The Trump Organization's Accountant, who has handled its affairs for decades, dating back to when Trump's father ran the organizations, has been granted immunity for testifying.
The Dems may be happy about rooting out the crimes of the President and his team, but the investigations are being done by and on behalf of the United States, and mainly run by ethical govt servants who happen to be Republican. Hard to believe, but most civil servants at high levels disregard their political leanings, and just do their jobs. They are loyal to the country and the Constitution. Not to a person, much to Trump's displeasure. Remember that he asked Comey to pledge his personal loyalty to him (which Comey did not do...that wasn't the job of the FBI Director...his oath of office was to the country), and he expects the AG to be his personal servant (which is not the job of the AG).

So, mueller is leaking , again? (the guy leaks like a sieve. lefties are so amusing when they ignorantly claim he doesn't leak)
Oh wait, this thread is based on nothing but speculation
So, the op is passing fiction off for fact, again?
The majority of presidential candidates, and presidents, never released their full tax returns. Instead they simply released a tax overview sheet. The left would have a screaming fit if trump released only an overview sheet, like the others had. That would be funny.
Nothing in the Constitution about providing tax returns. 'Other presidents had released theirs' is not a valid argument.
Mueller is producing far more in one year on Trump & Associates than Whitewater and Benghazi did together. He has quite literally waded into The Swamp, and there are so many crimes uncovered, guilty pleas, and convictions already, you know that when he actually hits the criminal Trump Swamp Family and President Swamp Monster himself, even heavier lifting will be involved unraveling all the mob ties and Russian connections. All the Trump lovers combined don't have enough brain power to wrap their heads around all of the corruption.
wtf?
You have Manafort, where every single charge was known for years & not a single charge has anything tpo do with Trump or Russia. No new evidence of any kind was uncovered by the Mueller "investigation". The FBI investigated years ago & decided there was no reason to prosecute. The only reason Mueller decided to use their old case, was to 'get' Trump. Yeah justice! Lost in the glee of the left, is the fact that 10 of 18 charges did not lead to conviction. Federal Prosecutors have a 95% conviction rate, so this case managed less than 1/2 the normal conviction rate & Manafort didn't even present a defense.
You have two nonsense pleas from Flynn & PapaD, neither of which will ever lead to a conviction because they were both unlawful, which is why Mueller won't bring them to trial.
Mueller also refuses to prosecute the alleged Russian bot farmers. Their attorney said they would be willing to stand trial in the U.S., but Mueller said "no thanks".
Bottom line is the investigation was started with no crime articulated in the authority.
Its an unlawful investigation of a person looking for a undesignated crime.
So what is Mueller going to do with trump's tax returns that the IRS couldn't?
We know what the dems will do, take complex returns and create suspicion to extend the cloud over Trump. No improper finances required, just rumors and spurious comments. Worked for harry reid! Reid is the model for what dems will do with trump's tax returns, create suspicion where there is not problem just to win an election. The unethical treatment of trump by the dems should cause their voters to leave that sinking ship of hate and fear mongering. The dems are doing what Putin could not. Dividing the country!
Trump received stolen US Govt property to try and cast a cloud of doubt over his campaign rival.
Spurious comments?? Trump IS the king of that.
An american mob ster joined forces with an international mobster to defraud the United States.
Mueller and his team of Republicans and democrats are enjoying every minute of that tightening noose around trumps neck. Its probobly the only justice we 'll get.
[quote=LuvSouthOC;52912806]Obama was vetted? HAHAHAHAH
The video is pure fiction.
Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt told Politico that "Obama did not know and does not know Khalid al-Mansour."
LaBolt said Obama doesn't have a relationship with Sutton and that "to our knowledge, no such letter was written." Obama was in Chicago, not New York, when he applied to Harvard.
Obama attended Harvard with the help of student loans, as the Sun-Times' Lynn Sweet reported in detail at one point, writing that he had $42,753 in debt.
Mansour said he admires Obama, but first heard of him when a relative sent him a copy of Obama's 2004 convention speech. He denied all the details of Sutton's story.
