What stupid shit has Trump done today?

Lock him up

 

[Bingoman]

If charges are indeed brought against him would that mean he is not aloud to stand in the Presidential election?

Only if he is convicted of insurrection or treason, I think.

 

[ruffneck23]

Is treason punishable by death in the US? That might be awkward for donny boy...

Think they haven't recommended treason.

That would definitely stop him from standing for re-election.

The report identifies different areas that the staff thought warranted further examination, such as documentation of nearly $506,000 in charitable donations claimed by the Trumps in 2019.

Highlights of the report include:

The 17 findings in the January 6 committee’s final report

Panel looking into storming of Capitol accuses Donald Trump of deliberately making false claims and plotting to overturn 2020 election results

www.theguardian.com

The January 6 committee has released its 845-page report on the storming of the US Capitol. The congressional panel conducted more than 1,000 interviews and 10 public hearings before recommending criminal charges against former president Donald Trump.
...
Below are 17 key findings:

1. Beginning on election night and continuing through 6 January and thereafter, President Donald Trump purposely disseminated false allegations of fraud related to the 2020 presidential election in order to aid his effort to overturn the election and for purposes of soliciting contributions. These false claims provoked his supporters to violence on January 6.

The other 16 findings build on that.

Trump has said the report is “highly partisan”.

aww

Trump's Brazen Tax Cheating Revealed | DCReport.org

Trump brazenly cheated on his income taxes, David Cay Johnston shows in his latest column at DCReport.org.

www.dcreport.org

Donald Trump knowingly committed dozens of brazen tax frauds during the six years when he ran for office and was President, my analysis of the Congressional report on his tax returns and other documents shows. This explains why he fought all the way to the Supreme Court in a failed effort to keep his tax information secret.

One technique he used at least 26 times between 2015 and 2020 was as simple as it was flagrant. Trump filed sole proprietor reports, known as Schedule C, that showed huge business expenses despite having zero revenue. That created losses which Trump used to offset his income from work and investments, thus lowering his income taxes. Additional Schedule Cs had expenses exactly equal to revenues while only a few showed profits.

What Trump did again and again and again—taking expenses for businesses with no revenue—is so simple that jurors should have no trouble understanding the issues were Trump to be indicted by a federal or New York state grand jury.

Trump knew this was unlawful because he lost two trials over his 1984 income taxes in which he did the exact same thing, a story I broke in June 2016. Both judges, in scathing opinions, ruled that Trump committed civil tax fraud.

That Trump persisted in using the same fraudulent technique in six years of recent tax returns is powerful evidence of mens rea or criminal intent. This device is not Trump’s most lucrative tax cheating technique, but it is the easiest for jurors to understand should Trump be indicted on tax charges.

odd thing about the tax return release is trump bragged about being smart for doing this whilst in office
and even now no one is raising charges against him for it

Trump invited the press to a 'media availability' slot at Mar-a-Lago. Not a single cable news network covered it.
