There's a long history of everyone in Donald's orbit being indicted but not Donald himself, in spite of an ironclad case for doing so. So no matter how rational it would be or how in line with the letter of the law, frankly I'll believe it when I see it.

FUN FACT

IRS auditors are probing whether Trump misused a provision in the tax code that allowed him a full refund with interest of taxes he paid between 2005 and 2008, a total of $72.9 million. If the IRS decides to disallow that refund, Trump could owe more than $100 million in restitution, including interest and penalties.

i don't know about "good" tax lawyers, but certainly tax lawyers who care more about getting paid than getting publicity.

I guess it depends on just what you mean by "good tax lawyers". Heh.

If he hasn't reported certain items of income or expenditure for whatever reason, even if actual illegal activities aren't involved, he will have laid himself open to charges of personal tax fraud when and if someone tracks them down. Is he now too toxic to be represented by good tax lawyers when and if that happens?

I dunno, Trump Incorporated was just convicted of tax fraud.

But I’m sure Trump is in no danger…

Y'all can't be that naive. Yeah it sounds like an insult and it might be. You don't really think anything as honest as Russian money is in his tax returns do you? Please! Likely, there's little incriminating in his tax returns. There is embarrassing and stuff that doesn't look good. But incriminating? The only thing truly incriminating in his returns is what he didn't report (like Russian money). That's my guess (I have no inside knowledge, but we're playing the guessing game).

I think the most likely things he wanted to hide would be how much in taxes he hasn't been paying (but we knew that already) and how little he actually has. I remember that he appeared some years back at some kind of comedy roast and they asked in advance what kind of jokes would be too offensive, and he named jokes about how he doesn't really have that much money as too great an offense.

Nope... Donnie is toast. Vlad is toast. If only we could also simultaneously off Bibi and Victor Orban, life would be Peachy. Korn (48:14)

Naw, go on!

I thought that I was the only one on planet Earth that saw Trump's moves as entirely logical...

IF one assumed that Vlad has something on Donnie, whether golden showers or golden money laundering...

FPC I researched Russian nuclear doctrine and even setting aside the almost certain maintenance issues endemic throughout their military I am not especially concerned about nuclear Armageddon, because... Just like us Westerners, Russian nuclear doctrine is explicitly public knowledge. This is to reduce the chances of an avoidable misunderstanding leading to nuclear catastrophe. MAD and such. In the twenty plus years since Putin took power, their nuclear doctrine has gotten more conservative, a good thing. Basically, only an existential threat to the regime would permit the use of nukes. Launching requires Vlad, his Minister of Defense and his Chief of Staff to all simultaneously turn the key. Knowing that the Americans would launch in return means Vlad has to convince two fellow rich guys to commit suicide. Won't happen. Bullet in Vlad's skull instead. Plus, nowadays every last nuclear power is making double sure not to accidentally set off Armageddon, so ironically planet Earth is currently safer than before Putin's invasion. So sleep well at night, y'all! The Arc of History and stuff...

I'm sure they'll show a fair amount of Russian money, which will surprise exactly zero percent of his detractors, and change the mind of exactly zero percent of his supporters.
