Who can blame him?

democRats have gotten away for so long, for much worse than this. If not for those pesky and increasingly effective right wing media, this guy would be worth at least 10 million by now.

LOL-—love it.

“Weiner Holder” has been going around the forum for some time.

Weiner's Congressional pension and benefits could top $1 million. Course, he's never held a real job. Weiner's been in Congress some 13 years (he's in his mid 40's). His Congressional pension and savings plan could be worth $1.12-1.28 million. Some say he can't touch the retirement money until he's 55, or so. But I doubt whether the "crowned heads" in Congress have to live by the same rules the working class have to abide by.
Thanks Liz.

......If not for those pesky and increasingly effective right-wing media, Weiner would be worth at least $10 million by now. .....

Probably IS worth $10 Mill. Usually, when tax fraud surfaces, money laundering is also involved. L/E should scrutinize what Weiner listed on his IRS forms as "investment income."

So many ways Weiner could have profited from earmarks, and federal grants to his Brooklynite constituents (legends in their own time for wrongdoing). Could also explain his having $5Mill campaign funds----illegal conversions of federal grants made to Brooklyn non-profits and foundations into campaign donations.....AKA kickbacks.

LET US COUNT THE WAYS OF MONEY LAUNDERING:

(1) Underground, unregulated banking services (common in ethnic communities), (2) offshore "investments," (3) offshore banking, (4) monies wire-transferred to friends and/or family members living in offshore banking havens.

Here's how Madoff did it: The court-appointed trustee tracing Madoff's assets found a super-secret labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in multiple places overseas that hid thievery, money laundering and tax evasion.

Course Madoff was running simultaneous scams:

(1) a tax evasion scheme for wealthy businessmen ("losing" money is a tax write-off;

(2) a money laundering scam;

(3) a protection racket for affinity groups,

(4) aiding and abetting wealthy tax-exempt foundations to evade US banking laws and the IRS.

(5) hiding money for wealthy businessmen some of which was used for campaign donations (FEC fraud), and foundation fraud (IRS fraud)

Weiner made a fatal mistake.

All this could have been forgiven except for one thing: his denial and subsequent apology to Breitbart exposed the ENTIRE media as the biased, leftwing ideologues that they are.

The guy is going to be crucified in the news for this. I don’t pity him, but he’s going to be made an example for the other leftys as a warning.

On the bright side---Weiner got an endorsement deal (/snix)

just because he “forgot” to license his car for 5 YEARS doesn't prove a thing....The fact he was never cited for it does however....

I think I’m missing something here.

I remember the early days on FR-—I’d think “oh, that must be a typo or a regional colloquialism.”

Then one day it dawned on me-—people were posting locker room talk.

Try to remember women don’t engage in locker room talk, as men do.

Just another perk for the “crowned heads’ in Congress.

Sorry.

I was trying to make a funny reference to part of a line in that movie with Priscilla Presley and Leslie Nielsen, 'The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

My attempt failed miserably.

(Wasn't trying to use 'Locker Room Humor')

40K deductions on a hundred and a half is not that big a deal. My return was similar.

$40K in unspecified deductions in addition to the specified deductions seems out of whack.

If I had that plus a house in Forest Hills and a rental office in Manhattan, I'd surely be audited.

Maybe he can use some of his pension to get his vehicle up-to-date. His doesn't display an inspection sticker in the windshield and has an expired July 2007 registration sticker.
