Huh. I wondered why investigating Ivanka was the bright red line that Mueller wasn't supposed to cross.

Tonight I am going to pay my wife $950,000 for cooking dinner for our family. I will write this off as a business expense and that should handsomely "offset" my tax bill next year. Cha-Ching!

Agreed. Difficult to do on a normal human scale, but the uber-leveraged have the resources to pull it off.

Since fiat money only exists if we believe in it anyway, best to skip the middleman and confiscate their real assets.

The real irony here is that he wrote that check to Ivanka to help avoid inheritance taxes, but that check may be the thing that sinks him to the point where neither he nor Melania have anything left for the children to even inherit, let alone $11 million.

Like rain on your wedding day, amirite?

Perhaps Ivanks suffers from Bi-Polar Disorder,or, schizophrenia and so both personalities need to be compensated according to the separate talents of her different identities. Did any of you nay sayers think of that, huh? Didja? I mean, she got all those patents from China. Right? Everything from coffins to voting machines. That alone suggests multiple talented personalities that somehow harmonize together in the same bank account. It's like you people really don't care about mental health, do you?

Thinking about Donnie. Once he delivers the coathanger/handmaid lady for the Supreme Court, what more does the Right want or need from him, that he can deliver?

He might not win re-election. He doesn't seem to have any, or much, money of his own. His whole Potemkin Empire seems to be in hock to organized crime. He doesn't have any friends at all, and not many allies of convenience.

Nobody seems to actually like him. Somebody very close to him just shanked him bad, sending 20 years of his tax returns to the NYT. There are only 3 people on Earth who have access to the past 20 years of my tax returns. My wife and kids. My current accountant only has access to 15.

At what point, to the far Right, is Donnie worth more dead than alive to them? Kind of like Horst Wessel; once he got into pimping rather than leading fascist street gangs, he was more trouble than he was worth. Alive.

Dead, on the other hand; Horst Wessel was super-useful to the Nazis.

If I were Donnie, I'd be very careful about the berders I put in my berder-hole.

Imagine if they had expended as much energy running their businesses properly as they did weaseling for every stray dime. They might have actually been making real, legal money all this time.Nah, too stupid.

If I were the companies insuring those buildings against fire, I'd start stocking up on investigators now, y'know?
