Trump might have more to fear from the SDNY investigation than even the Mueller investigation.
The reason Cohen's testimony today might point toward possible tax fraud is if Trump took a deduction for the Cohen's reimbursement which was billed as retainers for services.

Tax fraud
Almost every one of those donations made to Trump’s Charity wasn’t a form of tax fraud
The people who made them who were friends of Trump’s were== like Cohen==part of the inner circle who understood the code being used
They knew what they were really doing was making a donation to DJT himself—not to some spurious “charity”
Trump used that money to pay for things that he could pass off as a “contribution” from the charity—and save him a buck...
Like the money likely used to pay for Don Jr. Boy Scouts dues with a check drawn on the Trump Charity
The friends of DJT made donations to the charity—
They got a tax write off
The charity got money to use to fund Trump’s whatever—portrait—some “deal” with maybe a politician or money-making opportunity for Trump
It was a big scam...
And not just Trump is in the cross hairs
His two sons and daughter and Weiselberg are on the board—
Ergo they can be implicated/charged for violations of the law as well
The people who donated the monies and took tax write offs are also vulnerable if investigated
That “Straw Buyer” Cohen referred to—knew he was committing a crime since he knew he wasn’t really buying that portrait for himself
That is colluding in a fraud
And since the money was pretty large—it was a big fraud...
Think he took the tax write off???
Bet he did...
Anything Trump can turn his hand to and make a profit he will
It is the Roy Cohn mantra—and the Fred Trump way
Everyone saw the 60min story about Trump’s father creating the company he put in his children’s names and filtered money through —
Statute of limitations has expired on it
So Trump’s sister the Federal Judge likely won’t catch blowback
But she si the one who opened that can of worms with her first financial report when she was up for her appointment—
One reason probably they all now lie and omit on their financial statements...
