B-Man Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Bless the Times’ heart because they really tried to make this seem like a bombshell in their tweet, but when you dig into the article, it appears to be anything but. In fact, it appears to be more proof that this entire investigation is a complete farce. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has informed Donald J. Trump’s lawyers that it is considering criminal charges against his family business, the Trump Organization, in connection with fringe benefits the company awarded a top executive, according to several people with knowledge of the matter. The prosecutors had been building a case for months against the executive, Allen H. Weisselberg, as part of an effort to pressure him to cooperate with a broader inquiry into Mr. Trump’s business dealings. But it was not previously known that the Trump Organization also might face charges… …“In my more than 50 years of practice, never before have I seen a district attorney’s office target a company over employee compensation or fringe benefits,” said Ronald P. Fischetti, a personal lawyer for Mr. Trump. “It’s ridiculous and outrageous.” Several lawyers who specialize in tax rules have told The New York Times that it would be highly unusual to indict a company just for failing to pay taxes on fringe benefits. None of them could cite any recent example, noting that many companies provide their employees with benefits like company cars. What prosecutor criminally charges a company over “fringe benefits” possibly not being recorded properly? Wouldn’t the normal remedy be to just audit them and send a bill? After all this consternation, this is what these rabid partisans masquerading as law enforcement officials came up with? The entire thing seems desperate in the same way some of Robert Mueller’s indictments seemed desperate as if they were designed to justify the investigation more than reach any real crescendo. Now, there’s always the possibility that this is just the first, small shoe to drop. I’m skeptical, though. If they had the goods on Trump personally, I believe they’d lead with that. Rather, this seems like the first volley in a series of marginal, questionable charges to make it seem like they are drawing more blood than they are, and that’s if they even follow through here. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/19/nyregion/trumo-ny-ag-taxes.html https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/06/25/new-york-prosecutors-announce-possible-charges-against-trump-n402627 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 This is tricky. Biden wants Trump again, so how does Biden create a scenario where that could happen? Well, you gotta put the squeeze on him to make him feel like his only way out of trouble is by announcing a presidential run. It’s an interesting game of chicken happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I can't believe this huge story thread almost fell to the third page.................LOL The pending charges reportedly involve “non-monetary benefits the company gave to top executives.” Trump’s tax records have been scrutinized for years by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., a Democrat. Former Trump advisor Jason Miller responded to the story on Twitter. Fischetti also said the Trump Organization will plead not guilty and file a motion to have the indictment dismissed. “In my more than 50 years of practice, never before have I seen the District Attorney’s Office target a company over employee compensation or fringe benefits,” Fischetti said. “The IRS would not, and has not, brought a case like this. Even the financial institutions responsible for causing the 2008 financial crises, the worst financial crisis since the great depression, were not prosecuted.” Trump dismissed the investigation as a political hit job “in search of a crime.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
