Can you guess the news-story Fox News still isn't reporting on?

https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-inc-podcast-never-before-seen-trump-tax-documents-show-major-inconsistencies

ProPublica has posted an article that they have documents that Trump cooked the books, showing high profits to investors and low profits to the IRS. And as filing incorrect tax-forms is, you know, illegal, that's, you know, a crime. Probublica asked a dozen financial analysts, all of whom said that there is no possible innocent explanation for this: These documents show that Trump either commited bank-fraud or tax-fraud. Or both.



I searched on the Fox News website for "propublica". No hits.
I searched for "tax". Nothing concerning this story.

That would have uncovered that he was (already) compromised, or ripe for it

5. Exactly! We're in this mess because Trump is compromised.

His tax returns prove that he's compromised. He never should have been allowed to run for President.

2. The problem is that Trump & his crew don't give a damn about any laws.

Trump and his toadies are (by their actions and inactions) breaking multiple laws on a daily basis. It’s become obvious that they have little or no concern over their gross illegality. In the face of wanton lawlessness, they’re likely to spit out some blunt and rude remarks, like “get over it.”

They just don’t care. Trump’s supporters are fine with their figurehead thumbing his nose at the rule of law, as long as Republicans are “owning the libs,” and the ends justify the means.

I'm beginning to think some other Repugs are beginning to.
Look at the wacky letter "Dear Lindsey" wanted to put out saying there was NO way they'd ever vote to convict IQ45 in the Senate. He got voted down on that idea by others in his caucus.
Yes, some are starting to see the writing on the wall and are looking for a way not to get sprayed when it finally does "hit the fan."

6. Trump has acted this way forever, and many of us knew it.

The media let us down when they chose not to investigate multiple issues that have been well-known for decades. Money laundering, fraud, extortion, sexual assault. All the behaviors of a thug and they've been known about Trump since the 1980s.

Months of yapping about Hillary's emails and silence about the enormous number of Trump stories.

Unforgivable.

8. And therefore a water cooler discussion with a Trumpey will result in incredulous looks

And hateful banter about the liberal media feeding us lies...because theirs has kept them in the dark.

And that, my friends, is propaganda by omission.
