My tax
records must never see the light of day
(Protect
them at all costs – even with your life)
Three-ring criminal cabal without any doubt
(All three now on a very hot seat)
Two on-going
high-level Court cases illustrate the truthfulness of this post today:
First
on-going case is at the U.S. Supreme
Court and is highlighted below – entire article here from the Washington
Post.
USSC hearing
today on challenges to Trump not wanting his financial records turned over to
congress or some state AG’s … these two key parts:
This first
case on-going against Trump is at the U.S. Supreme Court where they heard oral arguments
involving in three separate lawsuits Trump has filed to stop officials from
seeing those returns.
a. On is made up of two congressional subpoenas from two House
committees for Mazars (Trump’s umbrella accounting firm) records.
b. One is directed at Deutsche Bank (Trump’s main bank).
c. One involves investigation request from the Manhattan (NY)
DA.
Trump
believes he should be excused not just from congressional oversight, not just
from criminal investigation, not just from questioning by the press, but even
from politics itself.
It’s important
to understand that even if the court rules against him and his tax returns are
turned over, it isn’t as though the next day we’ll all finally learn what Trump
has worked so hard to hide for all these years.
Why not? Trump and his shady accountants have
constructed his financial affairs to be as opaque and confusing as possible so
that even the IRS won’t have the resources to unravel them.
For example: The
Trump Organization is not one company in the way we ordinarily think of one. His is an amalgam
of about 500 separate LLC’s.
For example, even if there’s a line on a return saying
Trump got $5 million from “Nothing to See
Here Partners LLC,” just knowing that is only the starting point. Why?
For each one of those 550 LLC’s you’d have to (1) figure
out who’s involved and where the money comes from before you could even start
to understand what kinds of malfeasance he was engaged in, (2) who he’s in bed
with, or (3) how he might be compromised.

The second
big court case story also comes from the
Washington Post, re: Federal
Judge Emmet Sullivan puts a hold on AG Barr’s move to have the DOJ drop charges
against Michael Flynn.
However, the
Judge’s ruling to put a hold on the DOJ action now is best summed up in the
famous words from Yogi Berra who once quipped: “It ain’t over till it’s over.”
Highlights from this fine piece:
Judge Sullivan’s
order came after the DOJ took the highly irregular step of reversing its stance
on Flynn’s guilty plea charges and thus embracing Flynn’s move to dismiss his
own two guilty pleas.
Flynn was
convicted of lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador
about easing U.S. sanctions during Trump’s 2016 presidential transition in S/C Robert
Mueller’s investigation into that whole affair.
Flynn had initially repeated that he was guilty of
lying, that no one had coerced him to admit his guilt and that he had no
intention of taking back that plea. Flynn then took responsibility for wrongdoing that
also culminated in his firing by Trump for misleading VP Pence, White House
aides, and the public.
In making
his ruling Judge Sullivan said “he will
at the appropriate time set a schedule for outside parties to argue against the
DOJ Claims.
Sullivan’s
invitation could set the stage for adversarial proceedings in which one or more
attorneys argue against the DOJ. It would also permit, if Sullivan chooses, to
require both sides to produce evidence and revisit the case for and against
Flynn.
In such an
evidentiary hearing, Sullivan could call witnesses, such as Flynn, his
investigators, or even prosecutor to obtain more facts about how the case was
handled, and why Flynn and agents took the steps they did.
Recall that Sullivan
has not hesitated to personally question Flynn in court before, as he did
during an abortive 2018 sentencing hearing, when he rejected a defense motion
supported by the government for probation.
My 2
cents:
Also, in this case as I
noted above: “It ain’t over till it’s
over.”
Thus, we have a long way to go – no doubt in either
case and hopefully the outcome in both cases will go against Trump, and I
strongly they will, and rightly so.
It is about time Trump is held accountable,
and stops acting like a tyrant on a rampage – which he has been now for over
three years, so stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by.
