Trump organization indicted for ...fringe benefits
-
From the RWEC:
All corporations, including the WP, NYT, should now be investigated to make sure that no executives ever get free stuff, like country club dues or special transportation without paying income and payroll taxes.
Since the Trump organization got in trouble for paying private tuition, every university that gives free or subsidized tuition to its administrators and professors will now be charged with a crime and the perk will be cut off. Does anyone think that will happen?
Every airline that gives free flights to its employees and family members will have to stop giving that perk, won't they since there is no legitimate business purpose for that expense?
Pelosi and other members of Congress will now have to pay full freight every time a family member goes on a flight on a government owned plane. Why do taxpayers have to pay for this largesse in the first place?
The bill to Joe Biden and the government will be massive for all the flights Hunter took on Air Force 2 as he was going overseas to line up as many kickbacks as he could from foreign countries and companies. After all, Joe said he never talked with Hunter about anything concerning his business dealings so there is no way his presence on all those flights could have had any legitimate business purpose.

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.

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.

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.

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???
