The Trump supporters say the criminal investigation into the Trump organization’s tax evasion and fraud is because of politics. They are partially correct because they couldn’t continue their investigation while he was still President.
While Donald Trump was President he could keep the tax records concealed since the IRS was controlled by his people. Barr was Attorney General and most of all; Trump could pardon himself, his family, and his employees of any federal crime. The state investigation would have died since the power of the White House and his appointed judges would have stopped it.
The investigation paused for most of Trump’s term, but it started long before he was nominated. Was that the reason he ran? These charges are just looking at the tip of the iceberg on taxes. They are only one branch of investigations going on by states and the federal government for numerous crimes committed by the Trump organization, his family, and Donald Trump himself.
Will the sycophants and gullible people continue to support someone who is an adulterer, liar, conman, and the object of so many investigations by people of both parties? Will being in his political circle be a liability?
