Kushner Likely Paid No Federal Income Taxes for Years, Documents Show
New York Times ^ | October 13, 2018 | Jesse Drucker

Posted on 10/13/2018 10:26:30 AM PDT by Reverend Wright

Over the past decade, Jared Kushner’s family company has spent billions of dollars buying real estate. His personal stock investments have soared. His net worth has quintupled to almost $324 million.

And yet, for several years running, Mr. Kushner — President Trump’s son-in-law and a senior White House adviser — appears to have paid almost no federal income taxes, according to confidential financial documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Almost certainly more leaks from "impeccable" Mueller. The story is deceptively written to suggest the financial institution leaked this. Not a chance !

I knew after the Rosenstein McCabe memos (wear a wire) that if it was from Mueller we would see more. Likely Mueller leaks in the last 3 weeks: -Rosenstein McCabe memos -Trump family estate tax planning -Gates bot strategy for Repub Convention -Peter Smith Clinton emails pursuit -Kushner taxes

I know that Rosenstein and DOJ can see this. If RR is the rule of law guy he claims to be, he needs to apply "by the book" sanctions to DOJ prosecutors who are illegally leaking confidential info.

Apparently they don’t understand the meaning of CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS.

Does the NY Times know tax law? I am sure that with the high profile that these people have and the monetary amounts that they deal with they are surely under the FBI’s scope all of the time.

Stopped reading at “followed existing tax law,” I love that the NYT thinks it’s the new police, IRS and, apparently, temperance movement.

It’s not against the law to not pay taxes.
It’s against the law to not file.

“Nothing in the documents suggests Mr. Kushner or his company broke the law.” Point at which a real editor should have looked at this Drucker joker and said “you need a who, what, where and why to your story, son. There’s no what with this very true sentence in your story. Go back to the drawing board.”

My dream is for Pub victories in both the House and the Senate, followed by a purging of resisters in the government and prosecution of the leakers, schemers, liars, etc.

Wailing, gnashing of teeth, rending of clothes, etc.

How much tax does Warren Buffett pay? He claims he pays less than his secretary. Why doesn't the NYT investigate that?

BTW, did Al Sharpton ever pay that court judgment against him?

If you are a conservative or merely an opponent of progressivism, you can trust NO ONE in government or America’s elite circles. They will betray all of your secrets.

The Rats howled when Podesta’s Emails were released. They said the Leaker was the problem, not what the Emails revealed.

Now they release Confidential IRS Documents exposing a Private Citizen’s Finances and they are lauded for breaking the Law.

The Politics of Envy and Hate overrule the Law every time as long as the People damaged are the Enemy of the Left.

Of course we all know that Jared is a typical NYC Liberal, but his ties to the POTUS negate that.

I am reminded (does anyone else remember this?), by the Clintons and their Whitewater investment. Shortly before he ran for president, Bill Clinton and his Shrew sold out their interest in Whitewater to the McDougalls for like, a dollar. Unfortunately, Whitewater was hopelessly in debt by this time (Hillary was either a piss-poor manager or a crook, or BOTH). Anyway, as most of you probably know, this transaction, the liquidation of this partnership amounted to the forgiveness of debt for the Clintons. It is, in effect, income, and is taxable. The Clintons did not pay taxes until after they were called on it, and then they were able to quietly pay their tax bill. No outrage. No feature story in the Times. Far more egregious than anything alleged here.

One reason might be that Mueller’s gang has not illegally leaked tax info about Buffett.

I don’t know if this will be ever really exposed. But “impeccable integrity” Mueller is actually a legend spinner who is one of the dirtiest cops around.

It’s not against the law to not pay taxes. It’s against the law to not file.

It's also against the law for unauthorized persons to access confidential tax records.
