“What could be” = What actually is
Everyone knows, but presumption of innocence is an important precept.
For the courts presumption of innocence is important, but as people, we know this guy. Trump University, Trump Charitable Foundation, Trump Org. All have been found by the courts to operate fraudulently. We don’t owe him any benefit of a doubt.
That’s how they got Capone. Tried and true way for getting crooks that rely on henchmen and ambiguity.
Trump’s modus operandi includes a lot of implication. He makes ambiguous comments; henchlings that interpret his ramblings the way he wants get promoted; those that don’t, get fired. Prosecution is difficult when they can’t get a good, direct quote proving intention and direction.
But crooks will be crooks, and there’s always the IRS to save us from the worst of them.
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”
Add it to the list.
The list of things that should put Trump in jail but he will never see consequences for.
Maybe, maybe not. This is pissing with the IRS. They really can get a pain in the ass, even for the rich.
After all, tax evasion is how they got Capone back in the day. It would be poetic if Trump was nailed for the same thing.
