And the kicker was Tim Giethner, head of the entire IRS did not pay his taxes properly either.

The only difference is, he was still appointed to his position even though everyone knew he cheated on his taxes.
Keep in mind, Al Capone was sent to jail because he did not pay his taxes either. Just imagin ...[text shortened]... t is, if they want you off the streets for any reason.

As opposed to virtually anyone on this board, with the possible exception of whodey, yes.
That day is here.
Conversations with others is no longer possible.
That you might be in error while others might be right is no longer possible.
Sad and dangerous day indeed.

Two can play at this game. Look at all the money laundering that went on under Hillary.

Yes, there is a difference between a "meeting" and "collusion" - the meeting was the place where this particular act of collusion took place:

Of course, the surveillance of Page is what the whole ridiculous Nunes' memo was screaming about.
Originally posted by @kazetnagorraIt's the same reason why the now head of the FBI did not pay his taxes and is still the head of the FBI. We have become a nation of men, now laws.

No one even cares about how Hillary colluded with the Ukraine.
Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country.
Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.
Turns out, a veteran DNC operative who previously worked in the Clinton White House, Alexandra Chalupa, worked with government officials in the Ukraine to dig up oppo research on Trump and his top campaign aide at the time, Paul Manafort.
It is obvious so me that the Ukraine made deals with Hillary for protection and the Russians tried to oppose this by trying to support Trump, only, it is just Trump who is being investigated here.

If you can't put them away for the crime for which the warrant was made, then it just becomes a baseless witch hunt.
It reminds me of laws down south in Louisiana. Police would pull people over for speeding and then find drugs and then impound the car. Trouble is, it was lucrative so they began planting drugs in nice cars.

We'll have to wait and see. Partisan shills like you keep crying "baseless witch hunt" but Mueller keeps getting indictments and guilty pleas.

That is what happens when naïvetè meets machine.

HAITI
Ask anyone in Haiti what they think of the Clintons after they confiscated billions donated for relief specifically designated for the suffering of their country.
And, lest we let it be forgotten:
THE TRAIL OF TEARS
...which follows the Clintons throughout their storied gallop through this brief portion of US history, wherein they raped and pillaged whilst whistling a happy tune.

Originally posted by @moonbus(Shrug) I don't need the press to tell me that high ranking officials of a Presidential campaign secretly meeting with agents of a foreign government for the express purpose of getting a candidate elected by handing over information is "collusion".

I doubt the judiciary will ever resolve it as I expect Trump to pardon people like his son and son-in-law when they get indicted. The crisis will have to be resolved politically at that point by impeachment if the rule of law is to mean anything.
