In reply to the discussion: Some words from Post re: Hunter Biden's alleged crimes . . . [View all]SunSeeker
(51,816 posts)48. The poster asked it Trump committed property tax fraud. Trump clearly did.
All facts available indicate Trump did commit property tax fraud, as well as numerous other types of tax fraud. And never paid it back. Yet Trump never got charged. That is the point. It's the Republicans' hypocrisy of going after Hunter for tax fraud he paid back, with penalties and interest, while folks like Trump and Manafort skate free. That is the point of the OP and this whole thread.

Just Hunter just this time is what they want. They just tried to make a big cut to IRS enforcement.

Hunter did not ask for immunity from "any and all crimes that could be committed."

Yup, Weiss got scared by the Republican blowback when the Trumper judge on the case ripped the plea deal.

That is not true. Hunter was not asking for immunity from crimes he committed in the future.

Trump overstated property value to get loans, understated propety value for taxes.

OFFS, former9thward, we're talking about commercial properties, which are assessed differently.

No, former9thward, fraud is not just the victim's problem. Please stop repeating Trump's talking points here.

It really is stunning to see the defense of corporations like Deutsch Bank.

Well at least you have backed off the claim they don't have the resources to do due diligence.

So you won't answer why you're deflecting blame from Trump, you just offer more false statements.

I've got an idea. Appoint Weiss as special prosecutor to investigate Trump and kids taxes.
