This may be Jeb Bush’s “Bridge Scandal!” We can only hope.
“If she was really trying to smuggle merchandise in don’t you think she would have gotten rid of all of the paper receipts?”
She wasn’t trying to smuggle it in. Just trying to under report it’s value. After spending 19K on the stuff, she was balking at paying the duty? C’mon, give me a break. The elite mentality on display.
I was coming home from a business trip to France and the US custom guy took some receipts out of my wallet from purchases I had made in Houston Tx not Paris France and he was ready to lock me up over them. I made him get his supervisor and I showed him the dates and address of the stores where I purchased them. I think those people make points for catching people, I am never on their side. Call me a smuggler if you want to.
Her actions exactly fit the very definition of smuggling.
1 : to import or export secretly contrary to the law and especially without paying duties imposed by law 2 : to convey or introduce surreptitiously
intransitive verb
: to import or export something in violation of the customs
She purposely under reported the value to save $4,100. Not very different from her hermanos and hermanas sneaking across the border and working with stolen SS numbers.
No one mistakes $500 for $19,000. She lied intending to cheat on the tax. No other conclusions possible.
With Jeb’s blessing....of course until they got caught. Then Jeb threw her under the bus.
