But it was a secret
Sullen racist guy sues New York Times, niece, for telling the truth about sullen racist guy.
Former President Donald J. Trump filed a lawsuit on Tuesday accusing Mary L. Trump, The New York Times and three of its reporters of conspiring in an “insidious plot” to improperly obtain his confidential tax records and exploit their use in news articles and a book.
He’s a crook. He was president of the US. The public has a right to know. I don’t care if Mary Trump signed a billion NDAs, we had a right to know.
Mr. Trump’s lawsuit, filed in State Supreme Court in Dutchess County, N.Y., accuses the newspaper, its reporters and Ms. Trump of being motivated “by a personal vendetta and their desire to gain fame, notoriety, acclaim and a financial windfall and were further intended to advance their political agenda.”
A personal vendetta? He was president. And a crook. It was vital information. Nobody needed any fucking personal vendetta.
The Times report cast doubt on Mr. Trump’s claim that he was a self-made billionaire who rose to wealth and fame with little help from his father, a real estate developer. Instead, the investigation found, Mr. Trump inherited the equivalent of at least $413 million, much of it through “dubious tax schemes.”
A rich kid from birth, and a crook, and the offspring of a crook. And he was president.
In a statement on Tuesday evening, The Times defended the news organization’s reporting on Mr. Trump’s taxes and said it planned to fight the lawsuit. “The Times’s coverage of Donald Trump’s taxes helped inform the public through meticulous reporting on a subject of overriding public interest,” the statement read. “This lawsuit is an attempt to silence independent news organizations and we plan to vigorously defend against it.”
I’ll just repeat that – a subject of overriding public interest. Undeniably true.
There goes Donnie Shortfingers, projecting again.
A suggested constituioal amendment:
Any candidate for the office of POTUS will submit all of his/her tax returns in full for publication at least one year before the date of the presidential election. Penallty for non-disclosure will be disqualification of presidential candidature. If documents as disclosed are found at any time by Congress to be sufficiently erroneous, immediate and automatic dismaissal from the presidency and replacement by the vice-president shall take place.
That amendment to be referred to as the TRUMPSTOPPER.
So what? The cops get a tip from a disgruntled former associate angry because the crook is banging his wife, they don’t throw it out because hey … that’s just mean. Judge doesn’t throw it out, either.
This accusation is what provides an explanation for false information that’s been established; it’s not a way to establish falsehood.
I’m not sure why he cares if his tax evasion comes to light: his base won’t care and the Republican party would shield him from the consequences just like they did during a historic TWO impeachment trials. Half the country lives quite comfortably in a POKNO world
Other than an extreme ego thing there’s no reas…oh yeah, never mind.
POKNO ?????
