Once the federal tax returns are made public, it would be a shame if they can't make him pay back at least some of what he avoided paying the US government.

Not to be pedantic, but tax avoidance is quite legal in this country...charitable giving, etc. Tax evasion, which this tax fraud Trump perpetrated upon NY and the US, is wholly illegal. Semantics, I know, but an important distinction.

Seemingly the only money that Trump gives is to other people to perform illegal acts or be quiet. I still want to the see the bill for that Moscow hotel room. :p

Although not directly related to this thread or the current Trump Org investigation, it's so surprising that another fraud suit against the Org. was already in progress. Seems he's losing this one so far.

Weird, I didn't remember any of this. I thought where the hell did this investigation come from but, guess what. It's still on, and no more delays. In time for verdict before 2024?.
