Nah, not Eric. I'm not even sure about Jr. Ivanka wouldn't need a pardon, he'd just have the prosecutor executed before it ever went to trial. Once someone reminded him who Tiffany and Baron are, he'd let them twist in the wind. But they seem the least likely (so far) to jump on the family grift train.

The discrepancies made the buildings appear more profitable to the lender — and less profitable to the officials who set the buildings’ property tax.

For instance, Trump told the lender that he took in twice as much rent from one building as he reported to tax authorities during the same year, 2017. He also gave conflicting occupancy figures for one of his signature skyscrapers, located at 40 Wall Street.”

Also from last year:

“But for years, one Trump loan has been particularly mystifying: a debt of more than $50 million that Trump claims he owes to one of his own companies. According to tax and financial experts, the loan, which Trump has never fully explained, might be part of a controversial tax avoidance scheme known as debt parking.
...
Here’s what is publicly known about this mystery debt: On the personal financial disclosure forms that Trump must file each year as president, he has divulged that he owes “over $50 million” to a company called Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC. The forms note that this entity is fully owned by Trump. In other words, Trump owes a large chunk of money to a company he controls.“

If you’re curious, you might want to also check out the allegations regarding Trump misstating revenue for his golf courses in Scotland and Ireland...

What I’ve never understood is why Trump ever thought running for president was a good idea given the scrutiny that comes with.
Did no one advise him that it just wouldn’t be prudent?

How many are upset now about repeated violations of the Hatch Act?

Doesn’t seem to bother many of them, does it?
Of course we know full well that they’ll all be experts again should Biden win election.

There truly is a quote for everything.....


Does make one wonder.
If there’s nothing to hide, why refuse to respond to the subpoena in the first place?
Given the quote above, wouldn’t the Trump family want to set the better example?

I guess you'd rather not talk about what Donny had to say about the Fifth, that "it's for the Mob", eh?

So Eric, if no one's said it yet, Benvenuto alla folla! Although we all know what the 'mob' really translates to.

Would you let the police search your home/car/person without a warrant if you've done nothing wrong? I thought not. Go away.

So, you're saying its OK to throw away your Constitutional rights if you have nothing to hide? Got it. You'd feel right at home in the Soviet Union. Don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.
