“They have no reason to believe that there is anything wrong with his tax returns,” the president’s lawyer insisted. “All of them have been audited and all of them have either been passed on or settled.”

“There should be some finality in tax returns,” Giuliani continued. “In other words, we get audited, we make a deal, we pay the government — you don’t come after me forever for that. And also, this is the president of the United States.”

Giuliani warned that up to 4,000 prosecutors can now “come after” Trump’s financial records.

3. Rudy needs to do more interviews.

Every time he opens his mouth, treasure tumbles out.

4. I thought McNinny said they were still under audit????

[Arkansas Granny]

6. And we all know that Kayleigh would never lie to us. She promised, right. Right??

[ananda]

11. Isn't that a Xtian commandment?

Maybe she's not so xtian after all.

[KPN]

7. MccNinny! Lol! She did! He did too (45 that is).

13. 4,000? It's that bad, huh Rudy?

Oh! And Rudy, they don't have to come after you/Trump forever...you aren't going to live that long.
But 4,000! You guy must be really deep into shit to have 'em lined up like that to get a piece of you.

It couldn't happen to nicer people..really, nicer people wouldn't be in that situation.
But then, here you are. It speaks volumes of what you must know about your, and Trump's financial dealings.

15. The current returns may have been audited and settled,

but the IRS needs to see and compare the documents supplied to Deutsche Bank for loans to the results shown on Trump’s tax returns. I suspect they bear little relationship to each other.

16. If he committed tax fraud in New York his goose is cooked.

The feds can wave it off, but i think New York will prosecute and there isn't a damn thing he can do about it. I've never filed in New York, but all of the states I've lived in use the federal numbers on the forms.

[soothsayer]

17. It wouldn't be blocked by a Barr-placed prosecutor mucking up the works?

Like the new EDNY guy who will be in charge of the trump inauguration finance funny business docket

[cstanleytech]

20. Barr has no ability to obstruct state charges only federal.

[soothsayer]

24. Thanks!

21. Prosecutor

The EDNY and SDNY are federal prosecutors who work for DOJ and Barr. However, NY State prosecutors like the NY Attorney General and Manhattan District Attorney Vance are totally out of Barr’s and Donnie’s control. (Fun fact: I worked for Vance’s father, Cy Vance Sr. when he was US Secretary of State).

22. Quite the honor.....

to have you here as a relatively new member of DU (sorry for the delay in the welcome - things have been busy lately!).
Please feel free to share input and ideas that were part of the foundation of activities in the State Department while you were there.
It's the old "those who don't learn from history" thing and I'm worried that before BunkerBoy is gone that we'll even have a State Department!

[rso]

25. State Dept.

Actually, the structure of the Dept. has remained largely intact, and except for several Donnie sycophants at the top, even some of the Assistant Secretaries are career foreign service officers or professional foreign-policy experts brought in from think tanks and academia. Naturally, they have to tow the proverbial line, and the political appointees are republicans, but apart from Pompeo and several at the very top, I don’t detect any Trump cult members. Overseas, most Ambassadors are still career officers, though the most desirable postings of course are encumbered by large donors or people with a special relationship with Donnie (e.g- David Friedman, Amb. to Israel, used to be Donnie’s bankruptcy lawyer).
In summary, I would say that no permanent, irreversible institutional damage has been done to the State Dept., as those at the very top in DC will of course be replaced as will also Trump’s politically-appointed Ambassadors abroad.

[MyOwnPeace]

26. Comforting words indeed..........

of course this is one of the MANY things that will need serious attention when Joe takes office. I truly believe he has the intelligence and sense to take advantage of career veterans to help put this country back on track after the destructive BunkerBoy mis-administration.

Thank you!

27. This is good to hear. The State Department has been one of my

primary worries.

Since the days of Tillerson, what we heard was the gutting of the State Department, and it's been preying on my mind ever since. I understand that not all countries have an ambassador in place, which is not good.

I've been a Biden supporter from the beginning because of his knowledge and experience in foreign affairs. My thoughts are that he will rebuild the Department and repair our international relations. He will mend grievances and ensure that we stand with our allies, and show strength to our foes.

I am hearten by your words. I needed to hear this.

[rso]

28. State Dept

Yes indeed, no irreversible damage has been done. Our allies understand what we’re going through and that it’s merely a sad stage in our history, but that it will change with sane and non-compromised new leadership.

[soothsayer]

23. Ah thank you

[Vdizzle]

18. Will he get secret service protection in prison?

[rso]

29. Prison

Technically, he would get Secret Service protection in prison. It would be the Secret Service’s worst possible security detail, centered completely on protecting him in prison.

19. IOW,

"We've been cookin'."
