I love David Johnston.

Writing in the Guardian last month, Johnston described his frustration with a US news media that was so distracted by Trumpā€™s showmanship that it failed to report on Trumpā€™s ā€œprofitable, lifelong embrace of mobsters, violent felons, Russian oligarchs and ā€¦ a drug trafficker to whom Trump remained loyal despite his indictmentā€.

Only thing in Wikipedia about this schmuck for 2005 is this:

In 2005, Trump, then 58 years of age, married Slovene model Melania Knauss at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church on the island of Palm Beach, Florida. A reception followed at Trumpā€™s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Sorry. I never followed his career nor did I ever care to until he took over the country with his nazi buddies by his side.

Wouldnā€™t that be a hoot? Sheā€™s probably the real leaker in all this.

He should have at LEAST paid $50 million in taxes. I had to pay 1/3 when I made a profit selling my house. How does he get off so easy?

The audit, if it exists, is presumably much more recent. He probably wouldnā€™t be audited now for taxes filed twelve years ago unless thereā€™s something much bigger in the works. But, hey, I thought he said he was smart and didnā€™t pay taxes.

Heā€™s no mogul that is for sure, but we knew he lies, incessantly.

Yaaawn, nothing here folksā€¦move along til the next whopper.

Sux to be him! but heā€™s no MUGUL so stop calling him that.

Most of his businesses are overseas, and taking THEIR money after he wore out his welcome here at US banks.

It is why I am concerned for her reputation.

DT can say it is a desperate attempt for ratings, but her ratings are through the roof in the last two months, so she didnā€™t need the help. This Johnston guy says he is 50 years in investigative reporting. Would he risk himself if these were not valid or doctored up?

Lord, I hope beyond hope that this is solid as a rock.

So basically I learned what I already knew so far. That he associated with unsavory characters throughout his life, was probably bankrolled by mobsters and other nefarious low-lifes, and made his way in the world with a special blend of flimflammery and hucksterism while bamboozling the powers that be. And all the while not paying his way like the rest of us.
