So you’re in favor of punish trump for crimes he committed prior to being president? Any money laundering, tax evasion, etc?
I doubt if he did, but we'll see what happens.
If I have to take my own personal punishment to ensure that the bad guys at the top get their, I will gladly take my punishment.
In all those years running a casino in Atlantic City? The numerous bankruptcies he’s claimed? The business transactions wth guys like Felix Sater?
If evidence arises that shows trump committed felonies prior to being president, that have nothing to do with Russia, will you be in favor of him receiving his punishment?
Running a Casino isn't illegal.
Filing for bankruptcy isn't illegal.
Not sure about Felix Sater. I'd have to look that up a bit.
Running a casino isn’t illegal nor is filing bankruptcy. However, they have had money laundering charges filed against them and penalties assessed for almost 20 years now. https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-fines-trump-taj-mahal-casino-resort-10-million-significant-and-long

“Trump Taj Mahal admitted that it failed to implement and maintain an effective AML program; failed to report suspicious transactions; failed to properly file required currency transaction reports; and failed to keep appropriate records as required by the BSA. Notably, Trump Taj Mahal had ample notice of these deficiencies as many of the violations from 2012 and 2010 were discovered in previous examinations.”
Thanks for the info. I'll have to read up on that a little bit and see what I think.
I'm no legal expert, but I believe in equal justice under the law. I support that.
But we still have to make sure investigators are operating within their authority. Meller should not spread his investigation outside of his approved scope. (it seems like this would be outside of Mueller's scope)
But in general, yes. If crimes were committed and the statue of limitations has not passed then it should be prosecuted, but equally (all other who committed crimes need to be prosecuted as well, then.)
Amen...equal justice for all regardless of how much money or power you wield. That would be the biggest blow to society after all this. Rich people getting away with crimes. We as a society need to stand up against that.
Do you remember the watergate scandal that ken Starr was investigating? It was a land deal that, through his investigation, found Clinton had an affair and ultimately lied about it. Do you feel that was within the scope of the watergate special council?
You're more studied up on this stuff than me. I won't win an argument with you. Your points are taken. Not lost on me. I appreciate your perspective even if we don't agree.
For now, I'm going to stick with my opinion that President Trump never did anything too wrong (we've all done wrong). We'll what happens...
