WSJ reports that Mueller has convened a grand jury.

Mueller has hired a foreign bribery expert.

The mills of justice grind exceedingly while exceedingly fine.

What is your wife's role in this since you made her the subject of the thread?

I know you and your tactics, so it does not work, Ali.

The topic is Trump's tax returns and Mueller wants them. The GJ will say yea.

Trump will make a deal and resign before his returns are turned over to the DOJ. He knows they'll be the death of him or else they'd already be public record.

Wives are usually right and when they are not, don't dare remind her of it.

President Pence would be a step up - he at least knows how to govern. hmmm.....maybe that's not such a great idea afterall.

Resigning, however, will not stop him from being prosecuted.

He's the worst deal maker in the history of deal making, and the DOJ doesn't need a deal to get the records.
 
Re: My wife said 18 months ago it was Trump's tax returns

Is there a line item on a tax return for foreign bribery expenses? Or is it a separate schedule?

Really. And what is it you think is hidden in these returns that are going to do him in?

I know what you mean it's a mixed bag, but there would be far less chaos, but his policies? Ugh!

I'm not sure if Trump resigning before 2018 would be the best thing for the nation. That would give us President Mike Pence, loved by the right who might be able to get legislation, harmful to this nation passed. Pence is also a sworn enemy of the LGBT community. As governor of IN he tried to pass a statewide law that would allow discrimination against LGBT folks and had to walk it back after pressure from the business community. He's also an advocate of "gay deprogramming". If one likes the social intolerance of the 1950's Mike's your guy!

As much as an embarrassment it is, I hope the circus continues until at least 2018 when there's a small chance the Dems can retake the majority in either one or both houses. That's a big, "if" given the horrible candidates the Dems have put up the last couple of cycles.

Well, fortunately for Trump his legal team would make the deal and even if they don't, Pence would definitely pardon Trump.

Pence is neck deep in the issues involving the investigation. He's never going to be POTUS.

Again, if there was nothing to hide, they'd already be public record.

Man, for the country's sake I hope you're correct. (Notice I didn't say,"right"?)

Some of the attorneys working for Mueller, are veterans of the Enron investigation. In addition, a couple of the new hires are money laundering gurus. Read what you want into that, follow the money !!

That doesn't answer the question. What do you think is in there that will 'do him in?'

Why did you bring your wife into it by putting her in the title? I didn't put her there, so it is your tactic that I'm trying to understand.

* Trump’s tax returns could expose the extent of his global business entanglements, including potential conflicts of interest that violate the Constitution’s emoluments clause. In particular, Trump’s returns could tell us quite a bit about his ties to Russian entities and banks. Although Trump has claimed he has no business or loans in Russia, his son said in 2008 that “we see a lot money pouring in from Russia.”

Again, if there's nothing to hide, Trump would have released them and would have been proud to do so.

Pence would be bad but the republicans are divided and his policy on LGBT may not pass the senate. It looks like Trump's policy won't either. But then if the chaos continues, nothing may get done. A mess for sure.

And one of them took down John Gotti and Vinny the Chin. Heavy hitters against organized crime and mobsters.

The IRS has his returns, and has had them since he started filing returns. Odd how nothing criminal has been found during any previous audits, don't you think?

The IRS looks for folks that try to hide income. They don't look for conflicts of interest. But don't worry, Mueller will.
