    Hillary, Biden, Lois Lerner, Comey, McCabe, Holder and others could violate as many laws as they liked with no repercussions, but the Trump organization is charged with paying inappropriate perks? As the media and other Democrats continue to pretend that no one is above the law.

    My understanding is that they're charge with not paying or reporting the tax due on said perks.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      @jolly and you forgot to mention Kevin Clinesmith, the attorney who falsified emails to get a FISA warrant.

      You know, the guy whose law license is being reinstated in August.

          They have found more evidence that President Uncle Joe attended business meetings with Hunter in foreign countries with proxy government officials, and this is what is being reported?

            My former employers were very aware of when an expense reimbursement was compensatory.

            For example, we would work at a client site and were allowed to fly home on weekends. As a perk, you could choose to fly somewhere else instead of home as long as it was the same price or less. But it was compensatory.

            Same with firm-provided housing if you didn't keep your own home elsewhere.

            I've paid taxes on both of the above over the years.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              This does smell political though.

              $1.7M over 15 years is not a lot of money for a senior exec.

              Doesn’t feel like enough to commit egregious crimes over. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some careless, or even willful rule bending.

              But doesn’t seem like a big deal.

                There is no doubt it is political.

                But Trump.

                  Ken White (Popehat) had an interesting short podcast on the topic. One takeaway is that the fact that they kept a second, secret set of books recognizing it as compensation makes all the difference in treating this criminally instead of administratively.

                    Keeping two sets of books never has the appearance of impropriety, does it???
