Almost all top officials of fed agencies are guilty of tax evasion. They accepted many favors and did not report in kind value.

Good point. Reporters routinely give sports tickets and other bennies to their government sources.

Judge threatens Weisselberg. 15 YEARS?

---

That guy can't make 15 years

---

If he tells the truth, he's likely only looking at three months. The 15 years would likely only happen if he refuses to testify.

---

Not just show up and testify, he has to testify truthfully.

From the judge's perspective, that means if he attempts to deviate in court from what he has provided in discovery, his plea deal goes out the window.

I said that. I also believes the prosecutors will have him properly prepped by the time he hits the stand.

the best thing possible for the GOP would be for there to be a smoking gun which knocks out Trump and clears the way for DeSantis

this death by a thousand cuts- simply delays the inevitable loss of the Presidency by the GOP in 2024 with Trump as the candidate

there is no way in hell that 50% of the american voters are going to pull the lever for Trump after the last 6 years.

I think what you're referring to was Comey's testimony that Hillary Clinton had been "extremely careless" in handling classified information but had committed no crime. I know it won't make much difference to F16 however, unless you're thinking of something else, that's what was said.

Which was a complete lie.

Lots of.... What is the term around here..?

Moving the goal posts.

That's it. Trump is toxic. Don't take the ride with him.

You could probably charge 90% of the country for not reporting gifts as income to the IRS.

---

You do know there is an exclusion limit (currently $16,000) per year on gifts, right?

Are you saying that 90% of the country (or is that 90% of taxpayers?) are receiving gifts every year that are over $16,000?

Where do I get mine?

First, I find your username offensive.

Second, anyone throwing this guy to the wolves should step back and think about Gen Flynn before assuming he's actually guilty.

Tax evaders drop the burden on everyone else, you shouldn't support them

Hopefully it grows and somehow becomes a movement. If more people think "why should I pay my taxes if more and more others are getting out of theirs" it could snowball. It's one of the last ways to truly peacefully protest as a conservative and would probably be the most effective way to send a strong warning signal to the thieving scoundrels in congress who get insanely wealthy somehow on government salaries while robbing the working and middle class blind.

I find you (not just your name) to be offensive, but I see no reason to tell everyone about it. What do think you have to gain by making the accusation?

You really think he would plead guilty if he was innocent? Would you? Particularly knowing the amount of money he has to give to lawyers? He made a deal, happily, particularly since he doesn't have to testify against Trump (which is probably lethal)

When you have the resources of big brother at your throat threatening to bankrupt you and your family, yeah. You take the plea deal like a good little surf.
