Just Posted: Maryanne Trump Barry, President Trumps 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
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...

Shes a good little Trump. Im sure her father was proud of her.

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

(1,220 posts)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".

(25 posts)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.
