To say that Donald Trump was a corrupt president is to state the obvious: He abused his power and obstructed justice; he pressured his staff to serve his interests over the nation’s; he received money, albeit indirectly, from foreign governments; he funnelled taxpayer money into his businesses; and he tried his best to subvert democracy to hold onto power. And that’s just scratching the surface.
But while there are many accounts of his corruption, lawmakers and the public are far from knowing all the details — and thus, all the holes in our anticorruption laws that may need to be fixed. And it’s not just the presidency: the conflict-of-interest rules governing other high-ranking officials need a refresh based on the lessons we ought to be able to learn from the Trump era. But despite enormous public pressure and congressional subpoenas, the former president has so far succeeded in mostly shielding at least one key aspect of his life from public view: his tax returns.
That may soon change. The Department of Justice already has urged the Internal Revenue Service to hand over Trump’s tax returns to Congress, and though a federal judge will first hear arguments for why the former president can block the IRS from releasing the documents, it’s likely that Congress will eventually get them anyway. Even if that judge rules in Trump’s favor, another judge from a separate case has ruled that Congress could subpoena the former president’s accounting firm for tax documents.

So the President got rich from his corruption in office and his tax returns from BEFORE he was President will show it? What?
I hear all these accusations, but no evidence to back it up.
Trump has been investigated more thoroughly
than anybody in world history, and yet after a half decade of the microscope scrutinizing his every move, non stop harassment, leaking of personal information, from every conceivable direction they have nothing. Meanwhile, the Bidens, Obamas, and Clintons just dripping with in your face blatant corruption, for chrissake hillary was secretary of state while running the most corrupt “charity” in world history receiving 100s of millions of donations from foreign interests, gets no interest
As Scott Adams says, we’re watching two movies on the same screen.
It’s really unbelievable.
How much is hunter biden getting for hos paintings now?? How much was he getting for them two years ago??
Best of all, the video at the article is with Ted Luie- you know the guy who made a $50,000 contribution to Stanford just before the university admitted his son.
This is the Globe ginning up the “Trump’s Corrupt” narrative in anticipation of his gaining strength as the current administration weakens. Expect a volume increase in some proportion to Biden’s failures.
Is the Boston Globe a comic book?
Exactly.
This way they justify to the masses via the media their abuse the legal system without the scintilla of even a reasonable suspicion to get search warrants, etc etc. to begin a fishing expedition, even if they have to make up the evidence - like they did with Trump, Gen Flynn, Ted Stevens, et al.
They are unhinged, evil people who are consumed by their hatred ... all because HRC lost. Call them “just a Trump hater” to their faces. When they finally admit to being a Trump hater, then say “bullying and hate is unacceptable, especially among grown-ups and shall not be tolerated in our community.” That is if you can stand to be around these sick, delusional people.
I avoid Leftists as much as possible.
For someone so corrupt and abusive, they blew 2 impeachments to convict him on jack crap. Personally I’m glad he has to turn his taxes over, because they won’t find crap, but their hate started precidence . Now we can get Bidens, Pelosi’s, McConnells, and all the rest of the DC thieves taxes. Set that precidence and lets start auditing all these crooks AND their families! Bye bye Hunter!
If this is any indication, I have nothing in common with the people of Massachusetts or of Boston. I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just break up the United States, and they can go their own way and attack former US Presidents or destroy themselves through socialism, or cut men’s penises off, or whatever else sick insanity they want to indulge in.
To state that the Boston globe is a news organization is not true .
FAKE NEWS AND A LEFT WING RAG !!!
Has been since I was a child in the '50s. My grandfather and my father read the Herald, and excoriated the Globe as the newspaper of the James Michael Curley corruptocrats. (Curley - the only mayor of Boston ever to have been re-elected while in prison.)
In my college years (1966-69) it was the paper of the Communist-inspired anti-war faction. Lionized Father Drinan and John Kerry.
So this is nothing new. Boston liberals have competed with each other to see who can be the craziest for as long as I remember. I left in 1977, never to return.
Hey, lefty lurkers (we know you’re there), please reply to Jeff’s question, item by item with proven or provable FACTS.
Where is the evidence he:
abused his power
obstructed justice
pressured his staff to serve his interests over the nation’s
received money, albeit indirectly, from foreign governments
funnelled taxpayer money into his businesses
tried his best to subvert democracy to hold onto power.
We’ll wait.
Hey, lefty lurkers (we know you’re there),
***What we need [and they need as well] is an intermediate website we can go to and hammer out such debates.
The premise would be that for every libtard allowed in, there’s one conservatard. Straightforward, simple rules like the rules here at FR for the most part.
🐄💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
The nation is burning down around our ankles, but by golly,
let’s focus on Trump’s tax returns.
The guy could turn this around in minutes, but let’s find
just one loophole to keep him from ever being president
again.
Honestly, there has to be a brain eating disease out there
that makes COVID-19 pale in comparison.
