Robert Mueller may be closing in on Donald Trump's undisclosed tax returns, George W. Bush's former ethics attorney Richard Painter says.
In an interview with MSNBC's Brian Williams during a recent segment on The 11th Hour, Painter said that the president must be worried as an immunity deal was reported to be extended to the Trump Organization's chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg ...
"Now we have the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization turning states evidence," Painter told Williams on Friday. "I have to say that every white-collar criminal defense lawyer knows when the chief financial officer turns states evidence, everyone in the executive suite is in a lot of trouble because the chief financial officer knows exactly where the money is coming and going.

(11,885 posts)By evasion will be one of the many charges he'll see, then trump will try to claim its all politically generated against him and his family, but they're all criminals. Trump again will claim he's the victim conning his followers into believing he's innocent, and its all because he's going after them , which is the witch hunt, and hoax all designed to counter his getting held accountable. trump's a serial career criminal, and it won't prove to work this time. People already starting to run away from him and those that support these criminals.

At least, this is my hope.
