....concerning identity, please. It is a rare occasion when I don't know stuff, but I admit lack of knowledge in this situation. If a person purposefully explodes a firework on their head, is it vying for attention or is it a an an act of sincere Patriotism? Be aware the answer could possibly determine if the person is (or was) a Democrat or Republican. Please disassociate POTUS Biden from consideration, because it is clear his self-inflicted fireworks activities are due to his early training as a Buddhist Monk, protesting all kinds of krap (note that I am not discounting the possibility that having done, or tried to do, so during Monk Training could alter brain activity that manifests in geriatric years).
Despite the fact that there has been a recent decline, I think brain activity was suppressed long before Jobie entered the White House (yes, even before Obama's tenure). After all, what else could explain him toeing that party's line? If not suppression of or a decline in intelligence, what then? Sheer stupidity from birth? By the way, if Jobie had blown off his head with fireworks on July 4th, that would surely have been an act of patriotism . . . EDIT: Whoops, I forgot about Kamala . . . maybe it wouldn't really be patriotism after all.
How quickly we forget Dr. Mark Siegal NYU, publicly warning us in 2008 that there was a continuing declining problem with POTUS Biden that required serious neurological evaluation, and in 2011 that his neurological and cognitive abilities were declining rapidly, when POTUS Obama lauded his performance as VP and that it would be an asset for the next 4 years.
I am weeks behind - still stuck on clarification on Mershon's Jury instructions. Where all 3 theories of unlawful means Trump intended to commit were void of any instruction on any elements of these crimes. And under the "Violation of Tax laws" section containing the following - "Under these federal, state and local laws, such conduct is unlawful even if it does not result in underpayment of taxes." I'll direct you to IRM 25.1.1.3 - it states a tax due and owing is required for prosecution under IRC 7206(1). An exception may exist for statements made under penalty of perjury but none of the records contained in the 34 counts were created under penalty of perjury. So Trump disguised hush money payments as legal expenses. Thing is generally speaking legal fees paid by an individual are not tax deductible. In 2017 some very specific type legal fees could be itemized on Schedule A line 23 and line 28 but for all we know Trump may taken the Standard Deduction for that Tax Year.
Ummmm, I hate to be Debbie Downer, but....no. The concepts and theory presented, while enjoyable, the basis for prosecution is restricted to a Federal judicial process, and the threshold is status. The 'Company", for purposes of clarification, is a Holding Co. of sorts, similar to a Trust for reporting basis. The "company" is not under any obligation to report quarterly earnings. The "company" consists of 500 or so corporations. This is a chicken-egg issue. A careful review of the "legal" basis of the theory presented by the prosecution (and it is just that-a "theory"), involves only 2. The silly putty legal toy begins...who/what/where/when/why/how....AND, if the "Company" decides to poof those 2 entities, well.....the legal "theory" joins the Bismarck. I know, I know, I have oversimplified, and did so for a simple reason: to help people understand the Trump "Company" is not what they think it is.
I think 7 or 8 of the felony charges were for documents sourced to the Revocable Trust with the remaining felony charges were for documents sourced to Trump personally.
Yes, I know, but the underlying foundation is that there is no "personal" Trump involved that can be pierced via the structure of the Organization, as you know, and the only reason the Comptroller was able to be convicted is he did file quarterly reports and failed to detail the monetary transfer to any entity, for purposes of State Taxation-not Federal. The question is, why do that? I suspect you know the viable answer....so the Organization could not be pierced. That is all I know about that stuff, and I have to go find my Minions pajamas anyway.
