NY Times: Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father

Not as a toddler. When he became and adult and was hands on with a number of the schemes, then he became accountable.

Who said the amount remained $200,000/year or that it was the only way money was transferred? You don't even have the command of the most basic allegations of the story and you are trying to dismiss it. It is obvious you haven't even skimmed over the story.

You have no way of knowing whether or not it was deceitful because you haven't even bothered to read the story, yet you have drawn your conclusions and condemned it anyway. Sad.

 

I didn't expect you to care, but that's your issue, not mine.

 

My question is, "have you actually read the lines?"

To some degree. We can't be sure if that means the report is nearly ready or if he has completed one aspect of the investigation. If you actually read the article you cited, this sentence should have helped you understand what it means:

"Van Grack and Freeny were on the teams prosecuting Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort."​

Since Manafort has already been found guilty of eight felonies and is not cooperating with the investigation, there probably isn't any more reason to investigated him.

 

Even if nothing else comes out of the investigation (highly unlikely), Mueller has a number of guilty pleas, one who has been found guilty in a court of law, a couple of people who have already gone to prison, and a number of indictments issued. So there's no sane way to call that a "witch hunt" and no need to "back out." His reputation is secure among most Americans.

 

I don't like estate taxes either, but that's not the point. Estate taxes were the law at the time the Trump family allegedly used illegal means to circumvent them.

 

Everything you hear on the radio must be true, just like everything you see on television.

 

You responded to just a small portion of the introductory material that I quoted from a 14,000+ word story with extensive detail.

Since you misinterpreted the small part that was quoted, you can be sure you have made a faulty judgment.

 

And it is not directly related to Mueller's investigation.

 

You obviously haven't been keeping up since there were indictments against Russian hackers. Moreover, there are connections to Russia in Paul Manafort's consulting business and the arrest of Maria Butina, who was involved with the NRA and certain Republicans. Since there is a gag order on the case, we don't know much more than that.

 

So you are involved in the investigation and know information that is being kept secret under the gag order? Unless that is true, then you cannot know and you have no basis to make your claim.
