Harry Reid: "I have recently become concerned that the threat of the Russian government tampering in our presidential election is more extensive than widely known and may include the intent to falsify official election results," Reid wrote to FBI Director Comey.
Where Has All the Money Gone?
Speaker Pelosi: "It is a sign of President Trump's disdain for America's working families that he has spent years abusing the tax code while passing a GOP Tax Scam for the rich that gives 83 percent of the benefits to the wealthiest 1 percent."
One thing not to overlook in the blockbuster NYT report on Trump’s taxes is his $410M in personal debt. That represents some pretty massive leverage by people or governments with interests that aren’t necessarily ours as Americans. Kompromat, anyone?

$15,598 in Panama
$145,400 in India
$156,824 in the Philippines
So much for America first.

It rivals the plot of "The Producers." Failing business man runs for president as only way to stave off looming bankruptcy...fleeces the government, sells overseas favors, pretends he is a success...all the while slowly going broke in the White House.
@GregOlear and like the Producers it involves Nazis.
The IRS audits way more people who make under $30,000 per year than they do millionaires because the GOP repeatedly stripped their funding and the poor don't have the resources to fight the IRS, while the rich have lawyers to fight them at every turn.
The System Is Built To Exploit The Poor And Tell Them It's Their Fault For Being Poor And Exploited While Protecting The Rich,
Humphreys County, Mississippi, seems like an odd place for the IRS to go hunting for tax cheats. It’s a rural county in the Mississippi Delta known for its catfish farms, and more than a third of its mostly African American residents are below the poverty line. But according to a new study, it is the most heavily audited county in America.
The intense IRS focus on Humphreys County is actually because so many of its taxpayers are poor. More than half of the county’s taxpayers claim the earned income tax credit, a program designed to help boost low-income workers out of poverty. As we reported last year, the IRS audits EITC recipients at higher rates than all but the richest Americans, a response to pressure from congressional Republicans to root out incorrect payments of the credit.
The study estimates that Humphreys, with a median annual household income of just $26,000, is audited at a rate 51 percent higher than Loudoun County, Virginia, which boasts a median income of $130,000, the highest in the country.
In the United States, teachers can only deduct up to $250 a year of the money they personally spend on school supplies, despite the average spend being more than double that. Meanwhile, Trump deducted over $70,000 in hair styling costs.
There is apparently a trove of information on possible conflicts of interest from Trump’s refusal to divest his business interest: “His properties have become bazaars for collecting money directly from lobbyists, foreign officials & others seeking face time, access or favor”
“Mr. Trump has an established track record of stiffing his lenders. But the tax returns reveal that he has failed to pay back far more money than previously known: a total of $287 million since 2010.”
In 2016 & 17, the most recent years for which the Times obtained returns, Trump paid a whopping $750.00 in taxes a year, benefiting from losses & tax credits from his hotel in DC, a property he leases from the gov’t & recently sought rent reduction on.
Records suggest it’s true that Trump is under audit: “starting in 2010 he claimed & received, an income tax refund totaling $72.9 million...The legitimacy of that refund is at the center of the audit battle that he has long been waging, out of public view, with the I.R.S.”
There’s no knowing what’s really in here w/o thorough forensic accounting.
Really the last & most significant one: “within the next four years, more than $300 million in loans—obligations for which he is personally responsible—will come due.” So a president, who appears to be w/out the means to pay the debt, will wheel & deal on it. What could go wrong?
Mitch McConnell has built a country where the rich and powerful can pay less in taxes than a Kentuckian who makes $20,000 a year. That's what happens when you look out for billionaires, donors, and lobbyists, instead of working Americans.
Think about the counterintelligence investigation of Trump that never happened. What would it have told us about Trump's debt? To whom does he owe money? From whom does he think he can get money in future? How has that shaped his foreign policy?
How important to Donald Trump was the $54 million he thinks Vladimir Putin gave him in 2008? According to Trump's tax returns, he declared *$1.4 billion* in losses from his core businesses in 2008 and 2009. Vladimir Putin was Donald Trump's White Knight—and Trump never forgot it.

"Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million."
How much do essential workers pay in personal federal income tax? Sample:
Truck Driver: $9,235
Rancher: $8,575
ER Nurse: $7,781
Teacher: $6,479
Sanitation Worker: $3,209
Army Sergeant: $2,380
Grocery Store Cashier: $1,337
Undocumented workers paid $27,000,000,000.00
Undocumented workers who worked on Trump’s properties each paid more in federal income taxes in one year than Donald Trump himself did in 10 years.
You are subsidizing the fake billionaire who has committed tax fraud.
From ted lieu
Any American who filed a tax return that looked like #TrumpTaxes would be denied a security clearance.
Trump is a walking national security liability.
Of course he is saying this is fake news. he’s a fake businessman, fake millionaire & fake president.
He's not a business mogul.
He just plays one on TV.
Cheats on taxes, cheats charities, cheats at golf, cheats 2016 election.
The Wall
Three former administration officials tell us President Trump “pressured” government officials to direct wall contracts to Fisher Sand and Gravel. The company has been awarded almost $2 billion in contracts, despite questions about the quality of its work. https://cbsn.ws/3cCQ5vg
After the Army Corps of Engineers pointed to Fisher Sand and Gravel’s lack of experience building border walls, the company teamed up with WE BUILD THE WALL to start privately building a wall on the Rio Grande. But they failed to secure proper approval. https://cbsn.ws/3jaazhc
Ivanka
Paying his daughter over $700K for fake “consulting” work is NOT just “being smart” — it’s tax fraud. Willful evasion of the gift tax limits.
Ivanka Trump “actively participates in all aspects of both Trump and Trump branded projects, including deal evaluation, predevelopment planning, financing, design, construction, sales and marketing...She is involved in all decisions — large and small.”-
on Trump taxes
Trump’s private records show that his company paid a very specific $747,622 in fees to an unnamed consultant for hotel projects in Hawaii and Vancouver, British Columbia.
Ivanka Trump’s public disclosure forms — which she filed when joining the White House staff in 2017 — reveal she had received an IDENTICAL amount through a consulting company she co-owned.
