  True, but you could really apply that statement to just about all the 1%. >
  
  They weren't President though.. >
  
  A sawbuck says Eric is still a dependent. >
  
  No bet. >
  
  None of this is shocking. He already bragged about not paying taxes. >
  
  Wait until you see the deductions. >

  I'm a former auditor.  The biggest damage that will occur by releasing his tax returns will be that the public will finally see how little taxes he paid.  In all fairness, we learned about this last week when they released the summaries.  We learned that Trump had tremendous carryover losses that helped him to shield income and pay very little in taxes for at least 3 of the 5 years we saw summaries for.  Essentially, he had accumulated those losses because he's a shitty businessman.  
  One thing we won't see is where he cheated on his tax returns.  Tax returns alone aren't enough to show fraud.  We'd need to see ledgers and bank statements to have something to compare the tax returns to.  Tax returns don't generally show individual transactions - they show a summary that is an accumulation of the transactions for the year.  We'd need bank statements and a ledger before we can even hope to identify where the cheating took place. >
  
  You think IRS or DOJ would be looking into discrepancies if the basic info is scheduled for general release? >
  
  I'm sure they already have, but there are many steps in between finding discrepancies and filing charges.  I'm hoping they're really close to indicting Trump for tax fraud, but I really don't know where they're at. >
  
  It'd be nice if they release it Friday morning and not wait until late in the day. >
  
  It’d be nice if they just released shit when it’s ready, the second they know they can, rather than on a schedule. >
  
  true but they have to make some redactions and that takes time.  Look for trump to do something outlandish as a distraction. >
  
  just like 'Alcatraz Al Capone', the former guy' will be  exposed for the bloody stool sample he is; indicted, convicted and will die in prison >
  
  Capone died at his Florida estate:( >
  
  I never said Capone died in prison, I said "the former guy' will be exposed for the bloody stool sample he is; indicted, convicted and will die in prison"...in other news, "I never said I was a Jew, I said I was Jew-ish" >
  
  Thank you for this information.
  Happy Cake Day! >
  
  I'm ready for tangerine's meltdown over it. >
  
  Friday fun day! >
  
  Remember all the bullshit about him not taking his presidential salary?  Guess what. >
  
  What? He didn’t take the presidential salary >
  
  I'm going to CRTL-F and find any/all instances of the terms co-signer and Oleg Deripaska >
  
  'Scheduled'. Don't believe this, folks. 
  Will not happen! >
  
  Based on? Your expertise? It will be released judging by previous statements made by the house >
  
  Will it matter?  Will it just be something that enables him to draw it all out another year or two? >
  
  
  Will it matter?
  
  Not really.  Prosecutors already have access, so any legal cases are already being worked on.
  Tax returns are only a small slice of Trump's financial picture - he has dozens of companies doing business across the world.  Getting his returns only shows so much if he's using Trump Org Bahamas LLC to do "interesting" transactions. >
  
  They didn't get the stuff from the Jan 6 committee until just recently though. >
  
  This is the House Ways and Means Committee, they have been in court over the returns for a while.
  This does not impact any state AG or DOJ investigation - those are separate cases:
  Trump’s tax returns have been turned over to Manhattan district attorney >
  
  Really though, why did it have to be a Friday? It results in less media coverage because it's right before the weekend giving it two days to cool off. >
  
  I had the same thought but the story is only going to grow. It will be a slow news week, too. Maybe people would have forgotten in a few days because of NyE? I'm sure it wasn't a random decision, though.
