I don't doubt that the dude is a loser, but that indictment sounds pretty weak.




Haven't read the actual indictment, but few beat the rap in federal court.

Used to be the feds didn't indict / bring to a grand jury unless they 100 percent had you completely nailed.

Not so much these days. Like every other part of the federal government, incompetence and favoritism has crept in.

The problem for the councilman is that tax laws are pretty clear, if you sign a return, you are responsible for what's in it. He's going to have to prove that he didn't know what was in it, which will be hard, or that somehow what he signed wasn't what was filed.

Has he tried to amend returns and set up a payment plan? That would help him.
