    No, yet you seem to think the NYT to be gospel. Do you not realize just how biased they are? And the Washington Post, and the MSM in general? You seem to be extremely selective in your outrage and sense of justice, just like the Democrats, progressives, socialists, feminists, SJWs, and the like.

    The article presents no basis, only claims such. Mere allegation is not evidence. The article carries less weight than Ford’s testimony. It is shabbily and shoddily presented so that dollar amounts cannot be directly compared. It uses the phrase “the Trumps” such that one cannot be sure who is being referenced. Etc., etc., etc.

    BINGO! The headline reads:

    'Justice Dept. indicts 7 Russian intelligence officers in international hacking scheme'

    Specifically mentioned within the article:

    "...the current indictment does not arise out of special counsel Robert Mueller's work....."

    Reading between the lines....more evidence that the special counsel is winding down, the credit went to the 'Justice Dept.'

    Also 'reading between the lines', Methinks Trump has 'flipped' Rosenstein, which has everything to do with the way this was announced.

    When I said:
    ...I'm referring to expanding your horizon a little to include sources OTHER than liberal MSM for information. A very good "one stop & shop" site is:

    WHATFINGERNEWS

    So what's next?

    Just what is the DNC platform? I mean the practical platform, the one they are pushing on public media, social media...

    Socialism.
    No Borders.
    No straws.
    No guns.
    Take back crumbs.
    More sanctuary cities.
    Choose gender.
    Choose bathroom.
    Impeach Trump and Kavanaugh.
    Free everything (college, health ins.).

    Sorry, BB, you're banging your head against the wall.

    Anyone who knows anything about New York real estate could tell you that Trump (and Trump Sr.) were corrupt. It goes with the territory: mobbed-up construction, paying off building inspectors, paying off politicians for projects, turning off the utilities and refusing to do maintenance to get tenants to move. Valuing your property cheaply for tax purposes and inflating its value for loans. The list goes on.

    That's the atmosphere Trump cut his teeth in and that's the outlook he has on life. The fact that he's congenitally corrupt is, perversely, a recommendation to those who are forever Trumpers. Trump knows how to put it to The Man, even though he is The Man. Except he'll never be The Man, as president, because at heart he's a corrupt barker and confidence man.

    Okay, I shall withdraw the word "assume". It now reads: "They (IRS) didn't, so we must ACCEPT THE FACT that the Trump family were adhering to all Federal income related laws". Is that better?

    So they were as corrupt as any other big shot here in America. The Kennedy's, the Clinton's, etc., no big deal really, that is how it's done. Face it, we live in the kind of society where people like former Senator Harry Reid of Nevada (who spent like 30 years in the Congress) can become a multi-millionaire on a government salary.

    At least you use the word "allegedly" and I appreciate that. Perhaps their tax lawyers were just the best in the business, you know the same type of lawyers that every rich person hires. Face it, be it liberals or conservatives everyone really wants to keep as much of their money as they can.
