Does anyone else think more Trump crimes/tax avoidance stories will come out in the coming weeks?

I think there will and they'll be a lot worse than his tax avoidance and that he pays a lot less than his supporters and everyone else for that matter.

I also think the steady stream of people distancing themselves from Trump is becoming a flood, and each and every one of them have a story to tell.

Huge business losses along with massive holdings. A great deal of illegal activity has to be included. It almost seems likely that some entity is propping him up, perhaps through money laundering??????!!!!!!

Every fucking single one of them should be tried and prosecuted for this scheme.

Everyday between now and Election Day stories that will expose him for the conman he is.

Stories that’s are buried now coming out. All those NDA’s need to be broken and him trying to sue everyone in the midst of the election. Please bring it on karma!

I think it will be less about tax avoidance and more about the massive debt load the organization is carrying.
I think we'll be finding out some proof PINO is teetering on being broke.

..."The New York Times has obtained tax-return data extending over more than two decades for Mr. Trump and the hundreds of companies that make up his business organization, including detailed information from his first two years in office. It does not include his personal returns for 2018 or 2019. This article offers an overview of The Times’s findings; additional articles will be published in the coming weeks."...(more)

I would guess .00000001%, if that. A liar like trump is a crook when looking at charities.

Donald Trump’s Mystery $50 Million (or More) Loan
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/does-trump-have-mystery-creditor/

Trump may have committed tax fraud by fabricating a loan to avoid paying income taxes on nearly $50 million

Oh, goody - can't wait!

Hot for a week and then taking second page to a new scandal. Nothing seems to grow legs under Trump.

The problem that Trump faces is that there IS a new scandal or crisis each week, both because it's all coming to light now but also because Trump's ability to respond is diminishing daily. While he's "scandal-proof", many of the data points being exposed are now being connected, and this means that things that could have been hidden in a private trial are now common knowledge.

What I'm hoping to see is that Trump gets delegitimized to a sufficient degree that most of what he has done (including judicial appointments) get overturned. Trump ends up in jail, or some similar proxy, and he ends up becoming politically impotent.
