Pecker Problems (Mueller+ Investigation Thread v. 21)

[bobgeese]

How about the Trump foundation who has been fined for illegal activities and is currently under investigation?

It was probably started as a tax write off.

Do you even rich people brah?

lol @ showing everyone how little you know once again.

You need to be put in a timeout

Can someone explain to me how this man isn't being impeached after the information that cam eout Friday.

If this was a democrat the republicans would have been trying to impeach him/her instantly.

They wanted to impeach obama after the ACA

Only morons want to impeach a president for doing nothing seriously illegal, or passing a shitty healthcare bill.

It sets a very ugly precedent. Notice you don’t see chuck and Nancy talking about impeachment? There a reason for that.

Dang!

You beat me to it!

Give to charity—but not with cash, checks, or money orders
In 2010, Romney was able to write off $1.5 million worth of Domino’s Pizza stock he donated to a charity. It is likely that he originally received the stock as compensation from Bain, in which case the price he paid for it would have been close to zero. In this scenario, by donating the stock instead of selling it and donating the cash, Romney would have saved about $220,000 in taxes.

4. Give to charity—but not now
Romney’s return reports income from the W. Mitt Romney 1996 Charitable Remainder UniTrust. Not only is the trust tax exempt, but when Romney set it up 16 years ago, he got a tax deduction for making a charitable donation. Though the money in the trust is eventually supposed to go to charity, Romney can receive income from the trust for a number of years—quite possibly for the rest of his life.

5. Give to charity—your own
In 2010 Romney made a tax-deductible, $1.5 million donation to the Tyler Charitable Foundation, which he controls. Commanding your own foundation allows you to curry favor with political and business allies by donating money to their pet organizations and causes. For instance, in 2010 the Tyler Charitable Foundation donated $100,000 to to the George W. Bush Library.






I assure you, the Donald did not do it out of the kindness of his heart.

Interesting point, but I don't think the timing is relevant. Cohen would not have paid Clifford without the understanding that Trump would reimburse him. In other words, Cohen wasn't doing a $130,000 for an old pal.


*Usual disclaimer: I don't accept that this is a "campaign contribution", but we need to assume that for this conversation to be interesting.

Considering that we have Cohen’s own testimony to tell us what he would do or not do combined with the evidence against him, and it got him convicted, your speculation in the first paragraph and your disclaimer that contradicts reality paints you as shilling or delusional.

Please get real.

A guys offices get raid by FBI and is telling investigations what they want to hear for a plea deal....A little more complex here

 

[LangfordBarrow]

There is nothing dictatorial about Trump...he's been way to reserved in fact.

And why would he need a sweep when 6 months ago he had a huge majority in the house and a majority in the Senate...there's no way he'll have a bigger advantage after November than he already had...plus he could have done it before Mueller started investigating and convicting people of everything other than what he claimed to be investigating.

Ok, seriously, has Trump not been acting like all the departments in government are there to serve him? "I'm going to get involved", "these guy owe me loyalty", blah blah blah.

He's hidden his own finances, continues to use his office to enrich himself, and just constantly lies all the time. Is this the guy you admire? Aren't you interested in seeing what the investigation turns up?

lol and you post this and still don't even see Romney made less money by giving to charity and using it as a tax deduction than he would have by keeping the income and then paying his normal tax rate on it.

Stop showcasing your ignorance on how matters of finance and taxation work when you have a minimal understanding of it.

You mean for using illegal Money set up by Russian nationals to illegally fund his campaign.

Trump is an American traitor and should be beaten with wet towels

Beaten with towels, no. Made to take courses in ethics, journalism, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

For starters

I’m sure you realize the rich all donate to charity, and I hope you realize it’s for their benefit.

And do you think no rich foreigners found a way to funnel money to Hillary’s campaign?


This is literally how politics works. I’m not sure why democrats think feigning outrage at this shit makes it any more important. And FFS, the country is doing so well liberals should start thanking the Russians.


PS, The candidates at the top are so many levels separated from these transactions, nothing ever comes of it. This won’t be it.

Wet towels? This ain't gym class. Towels wrapped around bars of soap.

Why'd you have to get all librul with your no unusual punishments stance...

That's false. It isn't always for their benefit. Not all rich people are greedy narcissists. There is such a thing as philanthropy.

Unlike you, I am a political realist.

Obama, and for that matter, Bush too

They all broke laws, only morons were calling for impeachment. Of course, Clinton was impeached, because he lied under oath. That was the wrong thing to do.
