In 2016 he said it was smart not to pay taxes. I think he is afraid of his tax returns becoming public because:

-His wealth is not as great he claims it to be.
-He is gaming the tax system.
-He sold a lot of real estate to the Russians.
-He has a conflict of interest by partnering with the Chinese government to build in Indonesia.

What a smug, ignorant asshole. I own rental property. And even though I profit from it every year, it shows up on my tax return as a loss because of all the things the tax code allows me to write off. That's not tax fraud. That's good business.

Cpl Mark McMiller - again, incorrect. We've filed on people for lying to the police when we determined that there was no underlying crime. Obstruction works the same way.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Yea, well, filing is one thing. Prevailing is another. There's a huge difference between being able to prove someone lied to the police and proving that someone's actions, that are perfectly legal in the absence of a crime, somehow constitute obstruction.

Cpl Mark McMiller - I don't remember a case along those lines that we didn't win. Second, obstruction of justice and tampering with witnesses are the crimes. They don't need an underlying crime. I can list case after case of people being convicted for doing exactly what Trump has done.

Why do you think that Mueller called upon Congress to handle this? Because, as he noted in the report, no one is above the law and Congress has the authority to act.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Okay, I'll bite. Cite all the cases where you won a conviction for obstruction when the defendant did nothing more than act within his/her Constitutionally enumerated powers and there was no underlying crime.

Actually, don't bother; that would just waste both our time. Because as I already told you probably more than once, Mueller exonerated Trump of conspiring to collude with the Russians. The rest is just partisan bullshit. CASE CLOSED.
