Here's why Mueller might already have Trumps tax returns

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The July FBI raid at the home of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort tells us a great deal about the status of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Based on my years of experience conducting complex white-collar investigations as a federal prosecutor, it suggests to me that Mueller has already obtained tax returns as part of his investigation.

One typical step that federal prosecutors take near the beginning of white-collar investigations is obtaining tax returns. I worked with federal prosecutors who obtained tax returns in every single white-collar investigation they worked on. I didn't do that, but I obtained tax returns in most white-collar cases I investigated, particularly cases involving financial transactions.

Obtaining a subject's tax returns can be a useful investigative tool in almost any investigation. They tell you where the person invests their money, where their bank accounts are, where they have debts and whom they've given money to. Often the information found in a tax return can tell a prosecutor which financial institutions and corporate entities to subpoena for records.

1. There is a high probability that Mueller has these returns

2. The corporate returns would be much more interesting than the individual ones

3. Much of Trump's entities are non-corporate pass thru entities so his individual return would be very

useful.
