Oh ohhh. Congressional subpoenas for Trump tax records cannot be far behind.
"On Friday, Trumpâs lawyers released a letter saying that a review of the past 10 years of the Presidentâs tax returns reflect little income from Russian sources. The letter allowed that there were âa few exceptions.â
Little noticed tiny footnote in letter: âIncome discussed herein does not reflect income received in ruble form.â
Saw this on Maddow last nightâŚreally good news
They said that the committee wonât be able to complete itâs investigation without these facts
Just like Capone and countless mobsters and con men who followed him
Follow the money
Best comment from Maher last night
You know those low information voters?
We elected one to the white house
Just like Iâm wishing for an ending to trumPPâs presidency similar to Howard Bealeâs so do I wish for trumPP to be similarly afflicted with syphilis just like Capone who was a walking dead man after prison because his brain turned to mush. Which we might not see as anything different than what we see now it.
Yes. Very funny Maher. Adam Schiff was a guest. When Maher asked âif there was any there thereâ Schiff replied âIf there was no there there, weâd still have Comey.â
Excellent Schiff quote. Thanks for sharing that.
This is like the moments when the roller coaster crests the top bit and begins to respond to gravity. You hold your breath, because you know whatâs coming.
I just assumed this is the case with Trump, though he hardly strikes me as the kind of guy who would have sex outside of his marriage.
Treasuryâs Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) will be fired next week.
At least you know the roller coaster is on a track.
What Trump and his administration sycophants are too ignorant and stupid to understand is that federal agencies are staffed by many thousands of career civil servants, the large majority of whom take their agency jobs and their careers very seriously. A large portion of them have extensive educational credentials in the areas they work in, and are highly informed both about their area of expertise and about how the government works. Most of these people, even the nominal conservative Republicans, are disgusted by Trumpâs attack on the dignity and worth of their work and regard him very directly as an enemy of what they value in life.
These people are going play a significantâif largely unseenârole in Trumpâs undoing, particularly those working in federal law enforcement and national security.
I should clarify I hate roller coasters. I hate the sensation, and donât feel theyâre controlled at all; it seems nightmarish to me. So for me the comparison is apt.
âThe Journal also reported that Trumpâs Atlantic City, New Jersey casino, the Trump Taj Mahal, was hit with a $10 million civil penalty by FinCEN in 2015 for âwillful and repeated violationsâ of anti-money laundering requirements.â
This â along with other gems on FinCENâs web site â has been publicly available since March 06, 2015.
(Hereâs a fun, little exercise: Type âTrumpâ into the Search box at the top-right of the FinCEN site.)
If only the press had access during the campaign to some tool that revealed Trumpâs money-laundering.
Maybe a web site.
Hosted by Treasury.
Something like that.
If Trump feels cornered/threatened he could be very dangerous. Any country without a Trump hotel or deal could be a target.
Ironically, there really was a Donald NixonâDickâs brother.
Despite our glee at this news, the fact is that Trump, since 2009, had only a small stake in the Taj Mahalâs parent company, and his remaining stake in it was completely wiped out last year. Itâs going to be tough to hang any of the casinoâs money laundering problems on him.
