HuMcK said:Mothra said:Agreed. This was an attempt to damage Trump politically under the guise that it had some criminal implications. Trump may not have paid much in taxes, but I guarantee you everything he filed was kosher.muddybrazos said:
Do people really think that Trump is doing his own taxes and trying to cheat or something? He probably has 30 accountants at KPMG working on his stuff and a whole team of tax attorneys. This will end up being another nothing burger then on to the next gotcha thing on Trump that will be another nothing.
Michael Cohen kind of already told us what they are looking at, he has one set of books for insurance, one set for lending institutions, and another for the IRS (probably the one he was most honest in), the implication being that he committed fraud with one or all of those different sets of books. If the property values he reported on his tax filings are significantly different (lower) than the valuations he used to get loans and insurance, that's a problem.
Not necessarilyCarlos Cruz said:Is it a criminal act to take "marginal" deductions?Osodecentx said:Did you demand that your accountant take marginal deductions that were legally marginal?Canada2017 said:Osodecentx said:
Trump is aggressive in most areas of his life. I'm sure pursuing the lowest number on his tax return is included.
Does anyone believe he wouldn't cut corners?
If my accountant didn't take ever possible deduction I would hire a different accountant.

Sure, but if they deviate enough and they have evidence of intent, that would be a problem. Or if they lied about revenue figures, that could be an issue. I don't pretend to know what Cy Vance is thinking, but I guarantee you he didn't bring this case (involving The President at the time) before a Grand Jury just for giggles.
If he lied about revenue on tax returns, that would be a problem. But the value reported in tax returns just isn't used to determine loan eligibility, it just isn't. It doesn't matter how much the variance is.

He does not use KPMG. He uses Mazars. I'm fairly sure KPMG , Deloitte etc would not get into bed with that crook. They have very, very, strict standards.

Thanks for pointing out the statute as requested. But again, what does that have to do with tax returns, which are not used by financial institutions or insurance companies?HuMcK said:
Yes we get it, you'll call any investigations if Trump partisan so you can dismiss it, you don't have to keep repeating it.
18 US Code 1344: "Whoever knowingly executes, or attempts to execute, a scheme or artifice (...) to obtain any of the (...) funds (...) of a financial institution by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations..."
18 US Code 1014: "whoever knowingly makes false any statement or report, or willfully overvalues land, property, or security for the purposes or influencing in any way the action of (...) any institution the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC (...), upon any insurance agreement or application for insurance or a guarantee (...) shall be fined (...) or imprisoned (...) or both..."
