Trump’s Troubles
 
Finally, one of the investigations/prosecutions comes to a conclusion!
Quote:

The Trump Organization has been found guilty of criminal tax fraud, a jury declared Tuesday, after prosecutors accused former President Donald Trump’s company of evading taxes by paying executives through gifts and off-the-books compensation—though the company is likely to only face a relatively small fine.

A jury in state court found the Trump Corporation and Trump Payroll Corporation—the Trump Organization entities charged—guilty on all counts, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office confirmed Tuesday, including criminal tax fraud, scheme to defraud, conspiracy and falsifying business records.

Bet they never actually get him over not actually paying any taxes at all as no one seems to be able to look at his actual tax returns.;)

Although the fine is small this verdict could have serious ramifications going forward, the most serious of consequences in fact

I suspect anything that Trump hands over.He's lasted this long without serving jail time.

I also expect that any tax evasion issues will be claimed to be other people's failings or ineptitude and nothing to do with Mr Trump.

The man is teflon coated.

He isn't telfon-coated, things stick to him, he just has insanely loyal supporters. The man literally calls to suspend the constitution of the United States and his MAGA followers cheer him on, they value him above their own country. Him not paying his taxes won't matter.

He might use his oft used trick of denying any knowledge of (in this case) his own company but usually a close associate or friend up the creek who he needs to distance himself from.

The "Trump Organization" has been found guilty.

As expected they are appealing.

Ex-US President Donald Trump expects to be arrested on Tuesday

Former US President Donald Trump says he is expecting to be arrested on Tuesday in a case about alleged hush money paid to an ex-porn star.

Mr Trump called on his supporters to protest against such a move in a post on his Truth Social platform.

One of Mr Trump's lawyers said his claim was based on media reports that he could be indicted next week.

If Mr Trump is indicted, it would be the first criminal case ever brought against a former US president.

It would also have serious ramifications for his campaign to become the Republican nominee in the 2024 presidential election.

I predict nothing will actually happen except lawyers making lots of money. If you're rich you can escape justice, poor and black, then tough luck. Crazy country.

Sadly, the USA is still a very racist country. Money counts there , but so does the colour of your skin.

Looking forward to seeing Donny in those stripy clothes. Maybe he'll cut a cover of 'Man of Constant Sorrow"? :D

Superficially it may appear so and years ago I might have agreed but the number of black men being killed by black police officers kind of contradicts that, the more attention I pay the more it seems to me that if you are poor, without opportunities or indeed hope the more likely you are to run into police that are institutionally violent because of the streets they patrol and the outcome is tragically obvious, there is no easy solution and imo it can't be dismissed just by saying they're racist, it's more complicated than that but where I would agree is that money counts more than anything, more than the colour of skin even
