    Doubt anything comes of it as Trump is putting up a tax defense attorney to run the agency (smells like yes man with corporate interests).

    Marcus Owens, who ran the I.R.S. division that oversees nonprofits during the administrations of Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton, said there have been several cases where people were criminally prosecuted for filing false tax returns of charities they controlled. The difference in Mr. Trump’s case, he said, is that those cases were “less egregious.”

    In the case of Mr. Fumo, the Pennsylvania state senator, the charges included filing a false tax return, using the charity to fund political activities and paying for a renovation of his office. A jury convicted him of all 137 counts he faced. He served four years in prison and was on probation until 2017.

    In 2011, federal prosecutors brought a criminal indictment against an official at the nonprofit overseeing the Fiesta Bowl, one of college football’s major bowl games, for using money collected by the group to make political contributions to Arizona politicians, alleging she had directed the filing of false tax returns. The defendant pleaded guilty and received probation.

    “The Fiesta Bowl was innocuous in comparison” to the activities of Mr. Trump’s foundation, Mr. Owens said, noting that the president’s charity was accused of repeated misconduct.

    “It’s a pattern of behavior over years,” he said.


    In addition to signing the foundation’s tax returns, Mr. Trump also “directly participated in the events that should have been accurately reported on the tax return,” Mr. Owens said. “This is not a good case to try to defend.”

    But Hillary is the real corrupt one, said the BernieBros and Jillbots. Hope Pruitt's regulatory rollbacks go through so he can do some real damage. Lessons not learned in blood are soon forgotten - well except the inbred Red states, no amount of suffering can overcome genetic mutation.

    Hi paper trader, you prove this rule of thumb almost every day: always assume a leftist is telling the exact opposite of the truth, especially when projecting their faults.

    What actually happened was that I quoted YOUR meltdown --- you made all of these desperate attempts at smears in a single day. :D
