All they could find... a big joke

People forget Al Copone went to prison for tax issues. People forget that.

Fifteen counts doesn't seem as trivial when you read the indictment.

Tax cases have been brought against New York hotel magnates before.
In 1988, real estate investor Harry Helmsley and his wife Leona were convicted of evading $1.2 million in federal taxes. They had billed Helmsley businesses for personal expenses ranging from her underwear to $3 million worth of renovations to their Connecticut estate. At its peak, their real estate empire was worth an estimated $5 billion.
During the Helmsley trial, a former housekeeper testified that she heard Leona Helmsley say: “We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.” Helmsley denied having said it, but the comment stuck.
The indictment was brought by then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani. Then-businessman Trump blamed Leona Helmsley — who'd been dubbed "the queen of mean" — for her husband's troubles in a letter that was obtained by the New York Post.
"Without the veil of Harry Helmsley, you would be a non-entity. You would not be able to randomly fire and abuse people in order to make yourself happy," Trump wrote of Leona Helmsley. "What has happened to the legendary Helmsley reputation is indeed sad." -
I didn't vote for Leona Hemsley and she wasn't in the administration. Isn't even Trump's son
WTF is this bullshit? -
Who is Weisselberg and did anyone vote for him?

Trump organization is accused of not paying taxes on $1.1 million over 15 years. So maybe $350k in tax. That’s a rounding error. Hardly something a multi billion dollar company would devise a “tax scheme” over. If they don’t thi k they owe they tax, they court can decide. Otherwise it’s political theater. -
This is what you get when you are the DA who ran on GETTING Trump and failed miserably time after time letting down the Twidiots who just KNEW that this is the time
Trump remains able to run in 2024. One would assume that would make Biden happy but NO
