But nevertheless, i was given 48 hours to plead guilty to this crazy five count tax evasion. or they were filing an indictment that was gonna include my wife. and there was no way i was gonna put her through this. and especially in 48 hours. you don t have time to think. and to plan a strategy. but yet, they didn t do any of this with donald. and the question is, david, just before. he is lying. why did not they do it? i hope they continue to push the issue. not just on mine, but on mccabe, and comey, because all of these people are involved with donald. for whatever reasons there might be. and this is, exactly what he was hoping to do. to ultimately destroy our democracy. yes, and he has accounted for all of us in 2024. david, i wonder in all of the action in the senate as republicans are going to take over the house of representatives, i wonder if you can speak to these questions of politicization. ....
Will decline of donald trump began, but i m clear about the fact that he is still a free man, walking around at mar-a-lago. and eating at the dessert bar and we don t still know the answer to the question of whether our criminal justice system is up to holding him accountable. i have to say, i am increasingly encouraged on all fronts. i thought some of the biggest news this year involves breaking the mar-a-lago document story. it was out of the blue, completely unexpected, and at the same time a very, i shouldn t say very simple, but a much simpler more linear criminal situation. where i think we will see relatively quick action from the justice department, which is of course as everyone knows, a lumbering giants, but for very good reasons when it comes to doing its cases. but in a way that is very frustrating to the public. we also saw that this immaculate work by the january six committee, and i think really without their effort, we would not be viewing donald ....
Ruling after another. appeal upon appeal. and even a trip to the knighted state supreme court. but today the american public finally has its hands on something donald trump as so doggedly sought to conceal. his tax returns. six years worth. and an unprecedented window and steube s financial picture. this public release, which, among other things, shows the don trump paid relatively little in taxes in the years before and during his presidency, is the end product of an effort undertaken by the house ways and needs committee. after securing their returns, which cover the years 2015 to 2020, that panel voted along party lengths to hand redacted versions of the returns to the public. before we get into what these thousands of pages reveal, in a way those who are who are not accountants can understand, it s worth noting how the committee got its hands on these returns in the first place. is the end result of its investigation into an irs ....
