Donald Trump and Kids Named in $250M Tax Scam

DAVID CAY JOHNSTON07.14.164:41 PM ET

First off, please do note that:

"The presumptive Republican nominee is not personally accused. He is described as a “material witness” in the evasion of taxes on as much as $250 million in income. According to the court papers, that includes $100 million in profits and $65 million in real-estate transfer taxes from a Manhattan high rise project bearing his familiar name.
However, his status may change, according to the lawyers who filed the lawsuit, Richard Lerner and Frederick M. Oberlander, citing Trump’s testimony about Felix Sater, "
-------------------
Unbelievable tangled web of tax scam, the mob, and Trump putting some distance between him & the man in the crosshairs.
However Trump may be dragged into this and now comes the part about why he never revealed his Taxes.

Did Trump lie under oath about not knowing who Felix Sater was? ..

..via SC & a few other favors?
The possible reasons that could be tied to this are way over my head..but I don't think he is in this race for the country.
I'm believing he is in a desperate race to save himself & a few others.

I defer this OP to the legal eagles among us.
My god. And he calls Hillary crooked

like that. If I could afford to, I'd contribute.....

David Cay Johnston used to be the tax expert for the NY Times, winning a Pulitzer in like 2001.

nobody knows more about Trump than he does>>>>

Trump becomes more frightening with each new reveal.

Thanks for noticing my latest Trump piece, one of more two dozen I have written since he announced and I was (I believe) the only national journalist who who said back then that he might get the GOP nomination.

My book The Making of Donald Trump will be out Aug. 2, though retail bookstores may put it out before then.

https://www.amazon.com/Making-Donald-Trump-David-Johnston/dp/1612196322
http://www.mhpbooks.com/books/the-making-of-donald-trump/
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-making-of-donald-trump-david-cay-johnston/1123889596

I hope people here read it. Just as important, I hope after reading it that you draw it to the attention of the faithful, millions of whom support Trump because some of their leaders have embraced him without examining him.

I show from Trump's own extensive words that his motto, his philosophy and his conduct are consistent and also antithetical to Christianity and Judaism. And these are not glancing episodes or gaffes, but long, repeat and thoroughly developed beliefs and actions articulated by Trump over many years.

Sadly, as with my many pieces on Trump, my MSM peers have -- with a few notable exceptions -- failed to properly vet the candidate.

The public is presented mostly with a collection of loose threads. The Making of Donald Trump weaves those into a tapestry so readers can understand why Trump is, not just who he wants you to think he is.

If you have friends or relatives outside the US, the book is being published around the world in English on Aug 2 (and Aug 9 Oz/NewZealand/SE Asia) and in German in Europe on Aug. 2.

I will definitely be pre-ordering your book.

On edit: I just ordered it on Amazon. Your sales index is already 36,000. Expect it will shoot up as your pub date approaches.
