15 counts and only 5 months. I must work harder to get rich then I can probably get away with murder. Long live justice system.

[bikebudha]

You know, the more cases about tax fraud I hear, the more I come to believe it's far more work than just paying the taxes outright...

[Tavis]

So your telling me a proud man like Trump didn't know what was going on in his own business carrying his name promoting his brand very unlikely.

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FEW YEARS AGO THE IRS MADE A NEW LAW : Example the president of a company has to sign off on tax returns to VERIFY they are accurate EVEN THOUGH HE HAD AN ACCOUNTANT DO THE WORKK

15 felonies 5 months THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. Their should be on every news every channel until he’s given sufficient time. People get caught with weed gets more time than this

[yourwingman]

I would trade 5 months in jail for 100’s of thousands of dollars in “benefits.” This is not justice

Lawyers after representing Trump, needs Lawyers for themselves.
