Why would I care if a person being railroaded by an ever-growing authoritarian state is "rich" or "doesn't give a shite about me"? I care about the railroading.
He did, more than likely, actually commit this crime. That they would have probably never bothered to look if he weren't Trump affiliated is a shame, but going the other way.
How many thousands of men are in jails right now because they lived in stop and frisk neighborhoods and got caught with a dime bag? The authoritarian state has been here from jump for some folks. It's just interesting to see people get that "This is railroading" energy when it's a rich dude connected to their political heroes.

This indictment is an outstanding example of why you need to purge your records of tax documents over 5 years old. Trash the hard copies, delete the soft.

It's political persecution. Acting like the USSR is slightly more egregious than "a shame".

Tell us. How many guys are in jails right now because, and only because, they lived in stop and frisk neighborhoods and got caught with a dime bag?
Tell us, longway.

And of course you know that's not the issue for the vast majority of us. We don't care about this guy, and if he cheated he deserves the back taxes and fine he'll pay.
It's the politics here that we oppose, and apparently you're okay with. So two things:
1. Why are you okay with the politicization of the legal system?
2. Why are you okay with the very obvious, very distinct justice systems - one for liberals and the other for conservatives. For a person concerned about the guy that has no criminal history until he was caught with a dimebag in a stop/frisk neighborhood because of disparate law enforcement in the past, it's pretty odd that you cheer on law enforcement/DOJ as they treat citizens differently today, depending on their politics.
And I'll add this: I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and won't assume an answer to this question, but tell me - do you give Trump great credit for remedying some of the outcomes of disparate law enforcement, the product of legislation championed by Joe Biden? Do you hold that racist bullshite against Biden?
