I honestly feel nothing is going to come out from the tax return investigative analysis. How was Trump able to avoid getting caught lying by the IRS for such a long time?
You’re kidding, right? The IRS is notorious for primarily prosecuting black celebrities, Hollywood B-listers and reality tv stars in that order (hmm maybe Trump should’ve been on their radar??)
If you don’t believe me, take a peek thru their recent high profile cases:
On October 15, 2020, Texas billionaire Robert Brockman was charged by federal prosecutors in a $2 billion tax fraud scheme. This is the largest tax fraud case brought against an American citizen. Brockman is alleged to have hidden over 20 years of capital gains income via offshore and secret bank accounts. Brockman, who is the CEO of the software company Reynolds and Reynolds Co. has been charged with tax evasion, wire fraud, money laundering, and other offenses.
He’s the only billionaire EVER charged with tax fraud and they only got to him by turning the richest black man in America into a witness (that’s who they were after first!

Wait…another White guy? Please! In 2008, former businessman William Berroyer was settling a repayment deal with the IRS for his $60,000 tax bill when he tripped and fell over a telephone cord in a Hauppauge, NY IRS office. He spent 17 days in hospitals and rehab clinics for his injuries, and
sued the IRS for $10 million (claiming that the injuries prevented him from enjoying his favorite activities). A judge ruled in favor of Berroyer in 2014, but reduced his payment to $862,000. In addition, Berroyer's tax bill was waived.
