Just Posted: Maryanne Trump Barry, President Trump’s older sister, faced accusations of judicial misconduct over her role in the fraudulent tax schemes reported by The Times. She decided to retire, making her immune from misconduct proceedings.
https://t.co/VKBBA8Vy1T

President Trump’s older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, has retired as a federal appellate judge, ending an investigation into whether she violated judicial conduct rules by participating in fraudulent tax schemes with her siblings.

The court inquiry stemmed from complaints filed last October, after an investigation by The New York Times found that the Trumps had engaged in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the inherited wealth of Mr. Trump and his siblings. Judge Barry not only benefited financially from most of those tax schemes, The Times found; she was also in a position to influence the actions taken by her family.

Judge Barry, now 82, has not heard cases in more than two years but was still listed as an inactive senior judge, one step short of full retirement. In a letter dated Feb. 1, a court official notified the four individuals who had filed the complaints that the investigation was “receiving the full attention” of a judicial conduct council. Ten days later, Judge Barry filed her retirement papers.

The status change rendered the investigation moot, since retired judges are not subject to the conduct rules. The people who filed the complaints were notified last week that the matter had been dropped without a finding on the merits of the allegations. The decision has not yet been made public, but copies were provided to The Times by two of the complainants. Both are involved in the legal profession...

1. JFC. They're all crooked, aren't they?

🤬

[TheBlackAdder]

29. Dang! It sure seems that way. Does this mean she gets off Scot Free?

[lunatica]

62. It does in this case of tax fraud

It’s shocking that all she has to do is retire to stop the investigation. But evidently any criminal actions can still have consequences.

She’s a good little Trump. I’m sure her father was proud of her.

[muntrv]

64. Going back to Friedrich.

[smirkymonkey]

2. Such a charming family.

What is with the hair?

[dhol82]

19. Damn, their mother had an amazingly strong influence on hair styles.

[SunSeeker]

24. Yep. Dear old mom...

[klook]

37. Reminds me of the movie "From Beyond" somehow...

[SunSeeker]

38. LOL

[Drifter]

20. Perhaps ...

she is a donor.

Cheers

26. Is that where donald gets his extensions?

[SunSeeker]

22. It is obviously hereditary.

36. Devine

Maryanne looks like a cross between the Donald and Devine.

[shanti]

63. It's called the Rat's Nest

Bottle blonde with a generous topping of hairspray.

[shanti]

3. It's that easy for her to evade justice?

She's probably as dirty as her brother!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. No. She is still subject to criminal proceedings, just not any job actions. . . . nt

[Stargazer09]

46. Good

I was worried that she wouldn’t face any possible consequences for her crimes.

She probably won’t get charged, but it’s nice to know that she could.

[Kind of Blue]

54. Excellent! Thanks.

[True Blue American]

51. Of course she is

She created the company that illegally took money from their Father.

I wonder if he had Alzheimers when she and Donald did that?

[UTUSN]

4. woo *HOO* - a glimpse into the way FORWARD for SHITLER!1

[Chin music]

[Miigwech]

6. I hope never!!!! but if ever trump gets another Supreme Court

nominee, bet he chooses her.

7. Jesus. Another get out of jail card.

[Clarity2]

17. Probably not

53. Appreciate it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. No. She is still subject to criminal proceedings, just not any job actions. . . . nt

[Baitball Blogger]

52. Thank you.

[malaise]

8. Why didn't she take her brother with her

[uponit7771]

9. Does her resignation make her immune from investigation !? tia

[2naSalit]

12. No.

She is only immune from the investigation conducted regarding misconduct at work. She's still a citizen subject to the same rule of law as a citizen.

[BigmanPigman]

14. Good!

[uponit7771]

16. +1

[Evolve Dammit]

10. She has the same hair!! WTF about "immune from misconduct proceedings"??

These judicial appointees that are being rammed through the Senate are going to leave a scar on the U.S.

[Karadeniz]

11. Who made it law that retired judges can't be prosecuted? Doesn't seem fair.

[world wide wally]

13. Tell your asshole brother to do the same thing

[George II]

15. Interesting that her district included Atlantic City, and over the years she made several rulings...

....against the Atlantic City casinos, including donny's casinos.

I don't think there's much love lost between brother and sister.

[Clarity2]

18. That was my impression but

I think they downplayed their relationship till last yr. There was an article somewhere with her posing with him at numerous events.

[Mc Mike]

50. But there was that odd change of court venue for Joe Weichselbaum,

the drug trafficker who worked for dRumpf.

It was expected to be held in Ohio, FL, or NY, but was transferred to NJ, to Rump's sister herself.

[kacekwl]

21. They always find a

way out.

[yaesu]

23. the elite class are always above the law, things never change. nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. Not in this case. She is still subject to criminal proceedings, just not any job actions. . . . nt

[SunSeeker]

25. I hope the NY AG brings tax fraud charges against her.

She's not immune from that. And Trump can't pardon state charges.

[dhol82]

27. That would be lovely.

Karma can be such a.......

[yuiyoshida]

28. One TRUMP down...several more to go!

[tblue37]

32. Self delete--wrong thread. nt

[Takket]

30. i bet Donny 2 scoops doesn't even know she exists LOL

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. You lose the bet. Read the posts in this thread incl #18 an hour before your bet. . . . nt

[YOHABLO]

31. American tax payers have to pay a salary to federal judge who is not heard cases for 2yrs?

[dameatball]

57. That's what I was thinking. I wonder how many others are doin the same thing.

[maxsolomon]

66. That's the deal. Salaried for life.

Same with Presidents, Congresspersons, Senators.

But the Deficit and Debt are MASSIVE PROBLEMS, occasionally.

[dalton99a]

33. A family of crooks and criminals

[kskiska]

34. I wonder what's up with his brother.

He's stayed out of the fray completely, since the beginning of the campaign, anyway.

[SunSeeker]

39. Robert hates the limelight, but supports Needy Amin "1000%".

There is little doubt, however, that Robert is rooting for his brother's presidential bid—in a rare interview earlier this year, he told Page Six, "I support Donald one thousand percent." He also favors Donald's supporters, like Republican Andrew Heaney, who hitched his congressional primary campaign to the Trump wagon and failed miserably in New York's 19th district, where Robert resides.

35. Her siblings? Wonder if one is named Donald?

Indict him already New York. That should give Barr and Trump a little something to worry about.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

40. Must be a family tradition

[Cha]

49. As we know..

You Can't make this Shyte UP!

[oasis]

45. Lock her up!

[cstanleytech]

47. I wonder if she is counting on her brother to appoint her to SCOTUS if Ginsburg should resign

or die?

[Cha]

48. Is that a sign?!

[Vinca]

55. I wonder if she's about to be indicted.

[duforsure]

56. She'll be indicted

And knows she and her family are all tax fraud criminals. Lock her and their family all up!

[zentrum]

58. This family

.....right down to the Javanka generation are the scum of the earth.

[harumph]

59. It's like declaring bankruptcy after you've defrauded a bunch of customers.

easy peasy.

[BSdetect]

60. Yes, and what about all the other dodgy rulings that she probably made. Lawuits must happen now?

[DirtEdonE]

61. You can never mistake a trump

They're so easy to spot. They're always the most depraved people in the room. It's in the dna. It comes from a whore house owning grandfather and a racist father who made his fortune off of the U.S. taxpayer by building housing for GIs after WWII while he and his racist son donald illegally discriminated against people of color in his housing.

maryanne trump barry used her position on the bench to aid her brother donald in wildly increasing the amounts they'd receive from their father's estate.

All trump's come with a default setting of "crime".

[moose966]

65. Apple does not fall far from tree

Judge Maryanne Trump is just like her brother, a liar, a cheater and a thieve. I guess the apple does not fall far from the Trump tree. What a bunch of rotten assholes! Send them all back to Germany where the dear Grandpa came from.

[Blue Owl]

67. Sad!
