POLITICAL CAREER. HE’S MADE IT AS HARD AS
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE. BACK TO THE TAXES AND ALL THE
REST OF IT.
THAT SAID, ANY TIME ANY
REPORTERS OR ANY INVESTIGATORS
HAVE GOTTEN AHOLD OF ANY LITTLE
PIECE OF HIS FINANCIAL HISTORY,
IT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE SO
UNIMAGINABLY BAD.
UNIMAGINABLY BAD. IT’S KIND OF HARD TO BELIEVE
THIS ISN’T ALL ANYBODY WORKS ON
WHEN IT COMES TO HIM.
ANY LITTLE MONEY THING RELATED
TO HIM THAT HAS BEEN FULLY
REPORTED REVEALS A CATASTROPHE.
PICK ONE AT RANDOM.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS THAT WERE
MADE TO BENEFIT HIS CAMPAIGN
DURING THE TIME HE WAS RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT.
FOR PRESIDENT. FUNDS PAID BY CHECKS HANDWRITTEN
BY TRUMP ORGANIZATION
EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING HIS ELDEST
SON.
SON. WE STILL DON’T TOTALLY
UNDERSTAND WHY THOSE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION EXECUTIVES NEVER
GOT CHARGED IN THIS SCHEME.
THE PRESIDENT’S PERSONAL LAWYER
WHO CONVEYED THE CHECKS TO THE
WOMEN WHO WERE BEING PAID OFF IN
THE SCHEME, HE ENDED UP GOING TO
PRISON FOR THIS MONEY.
BUT MICHAEL COHEN IS STILL IN
PRISON FOR THAT HUSH MONEY
SCANDAL.
SCANDAL. PROSECUTORS IN THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NAMED THE
PRESIDENT AS THE PERSON WHO
SUPERVISED AND ORDERED THE
COMMISSION OF THOSE FELONIES.
THEY DESCRIBED HIM AS INDIVIDUAL
1.
1. WHO KNOWS, DEPENDING ON THE
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS AND
WHETHER HE WINS RE-ELECTION,
MAYBE WE’LL SOON SEE HIM FACE
HIS OWN FELONY CHARGES ON THAT
AS WELL.
AS WELL. I MEAN THAT’S JUST ONE -- THAT’S
JUST A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
WHOA, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
PRISON.
PRISON. MAYBE THE PRESIDENT IS TOO.
WHAT DO WE KNOW OF THE
PRESIDENT’S TAXES?
PRESIDENT’S TAXES? NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN
MORE THAN A FEW PAGES OF HIS
TAXES.
TAXES. BUT "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
COMBINED THOSE FEW KNOWN PAGES
OF HIS TAXES WITH A BUNCH OF
BUSINESS RECORDS FROM THE TRUMP
FAMILY BUSINESSES THAT THEY
OBTAINED THROUGH SORT OF
MYSTERIOUS MEANS AND A BUNCH OF
TRUMP’S FATHER’S TAXES.
WITH THOSE MATERIALS, "THE NEW
YORK TIMES" WAS ABLE TO PUT
TOGETHER A MAGNUM OPUS 40-PAGE
LONG, 13,000-WORD PULITZER PRIZE
WINNING EXPOSE ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT RUNNING CRIMINAL
SCHEMES TO EVADE TAXES, TO RIP
OFF EVERYONE FROM THE CITY TO
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO THEIR
OWN TAENGTENANTS.
OWN TAENGTENANTS. I MEAN TO THE TUNE OF HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
IT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT THE
PRESIDENT’S SISTER RESIGNED HER
LIFETIME SEAT ON THE FEDERAL
JUDICIARY TO AVOID AN ETHICS
INQUIRY INTO WHAT SHE AND HER
BROTHER HAD DONE TO EVADE TAXES
AS PART OF THIS BIG FAMILY
SCHEME.
SCHEME. JUDGES HAVE LIFETIME TENURE.
AND I LEARNED TODAY AN
ASSOCIATION WHERE THEY HAVE
EMERGENCY MEETINGS.
EMERGENCY MEETINGS. SHE GAVE UP HER SEAT AS A
FEDERAL JUDGE.
FEDERAL JUDGE. SHE GAVE UP LIFETIME TENURE ON
THE FEDERAL BENCH JUST TO EVADE
A JUDICIAL ETHICS INQUIRY INTO
HER ROLE IN THAT ALLEGED ILLEGAL
TAX SCHEME THAT SHE DID WITH HER
BROTHER.
BROTHER. BUT SHE, OF COURSE, PAYS NO
PENALTY FOR BECAUSE HE’S
PRESIDENT NOW.
PRESIDENT NOW. WHAT ELSE?
WHAT ELSE? OH, THE PRESIDENT HAD A BUSINESS
VENTURE WHICH HE CALLED A
UNIVERSITY, TRUMP UNIVERSITY.
THAT WAS EXPOSED IN A TIDAL WAVE
OF CIVIL LAWSUITS AS A MASSIVE
FINANCIAL FRAUD.
FINANCIAL FRAUD. THAT WAS THE CASE YOU MIGHT
REMEMBER IN WHICH THE PRESIDENT
DERIDED THE JUDGE OVERSEEING
THAT MATTER AS BEING INCAPABLE
OF JUDGING HIS CASE BECAUSE THE
JUDGE WAS OF MEXICAN ETHNIC
EXTRACTION.
EXTRACTION. HIS PARENTS WERE FROM MEXICO.
AND SO, THEREFORE, OF COURSE, HE
COULD NOT BE A JUDGE OF A
TRUMP-RELATED MATTER.
TRUMP-RELATED MATTER. REALLY?
REALLY? DESPERATE MUCH?
DESPERATE MUCH? THE TRUMP UNIVERSITY SCAM REALLY
DOES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN A
LONG-RUNNING, STRAIGHT-UP, BIG
CRIMINAL FRAUD SCHEME.
THE PRESIDENT ULTIMATELY DECIDED
TO SETTLE THOSE CASES BY PAYING
$25 MILLION IN CASH TO THE
VICTIMS OF THE TRUMP UNIVERSITY
SCHEME.
SCHEME. ALSO HE RAN A CHARITY.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT STARTED
PROMISING CHARITABLE GIFTS TO
VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS DURING
THE CAMPAIGN, REMEMBER, HE
BOYCOTTED A DEBATE AND SAID
INSTEAD HE’D HOLD A FUND-RAISER
FOR VETERANS, GIVE A MILLION
DOLLARS OF HIS OWN MONEY AND
WOULDN’T VETERANS BE SO HAPPY TO
GET THESE DONATIONS.
A "WASHINGTON POST" REPORTER WAS
ASSIGNED TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE
VETERANS GROUPS WEREN’T GETTING
THE DONATIONS AND WHAT HAPPENED
TO TRUMP’S SUPPOSED MILLION
DOLLAR PLEDGE THAT APPEARS NEVER
TO HAVE MATERIALIZED.
ULTIMATELY THE REPORTER FROM
"THE WASHINGTON POST" TRYING TO
FOLLOW THAT ONE SINGLE FINANCIAL
THREAD WITH TRUMP, HE ULTIMATELY
STUMBLED UPON ANOTHER GIGANTIC
FINANCIAL FRAUD SCHEME THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAD BEEN OPERATING,
THIS TIME UNDER THE GUYS OF HIS
FOUNDATION, HIS CHARITY, WHICH
WAS THEN AFTER TONS OF PUBLIC
REPORTING EXPOSED WHAT HE HAD
BEEN DOING, IT WAS SHUT DOWN AS
A FRAUD BY NEW YORK STATE
REGULATORS.
REGULATORS. AND THE PRESIDENT WILL HAVE A
VERY HARD TIME EVER BEING
ASSOCIATED WITH ANY CHARITABLE
ENTITY IN YEARS TO COME, SHOULD
ANY CHARITY EVER WANT HIM.
EVERY SINGLE FINANCIAL ANYTHING
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PRESIDENT
THAT HAS EVER BEEN INVESTIGATED
TO THE SLIGHTEST DEGREE OR
REPORTED ON WITH ANY VIGOR HAS
REVEALED SOMETHING THAT DESERVES
A PRISON SENTENCE OR AT LEAST A
LOT OF PROBATION, OR AT LEAST
THE ENTITY BEING SHUT DOWN BY
THE AUTHORITIES, OR AT LEAST
MULTIMILLION DOLLAR FINES.
EVEN THE ONES THAT YOU’VE
FORGOTTEN ABOUT.
FORGOTTEN ABOUT. THIS IS A YOUNG MAN NAMED SAM
PATTON.
PATTON. HE VERY NARROWLY AVOIDED YEARS
IN FEDERAL PRISON AND INSTEAD
GOT YEARS OF FEDERAL PROBATION
THANKS TO HIS COOPERATION AFTER
HE PLED GUILTY TO FUNNELING
ILLEGAL FOREIGN DONATIONS INTO
THE TRUMP INAUGURAL COMMITTEE.
BUT OF COURSE.
THIS IS THE MAINE SUPER PAC
SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
RE-ELECTION EFFORT.
RE-ELECTION EFFORT. THE SUPER PAC WAS RECENTLY
SUBPOENAED IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST THESE
GENTLEMEN WHO WERE RECENTLY
INDICTED FOR MAKING HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DONATIONS INCLUDING
$300,000 THAT THEY ILLEGALLY
DONATED TO THAT PRO TRUMP SUPER
PAC SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT’S
RE-ELECTION EFFORT.
RE-ELECTION EFFORT. LITERALLY, IS THERE ANYTHING
FINANCIAL ASSOCIATED WITH DONALD
TRUMP THAT HASN’T RESULTED IN AN
INDICTMENT, A SETTLEMENT OR SOME
SORT OF MASSIVE SCANDAL?
EVEN IF YOU SET ASIDE THE
ILLEGAL EMOLUMENTS STUFF AND
KEEPING HIS BUSINESSES OPEN AND
TAKING PAYMENTS FROM FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS, WHICH THE
CONSTITUTION EXPLICITLY
CONSTITUTION EXPLICITLY PROHIBITS.
PROHIBITS. REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS GOING TO
HOST THE G-7 MEETING AT DORAL SO
ALL OF THE OTHER G-7 COUNTRIES
WOULD HAVE TO PAY HIM PERSONALLY
FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF ATTENDING
THE G-7?
THE G-7? EVEN IF YOU SET ASIDE HIM
SPENDING A THIRD OF ALL OF THE
DAYS OF HIS PRESIDENCY AT
PROPERTIES OWNED BY HIS BUSINESS
WHILE HIS COMPANY SAYS, OH, NO,
WE’RE NOT PROFITING FROM THAT.
THE SECRET SERVICE STAYS HERE
FOR FREE.
FOR FREE. BUT IT TURNS OUT HIS BUSINESS
HAS BEEN CHARGING THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT RACK RATE, FULL RACK
RATE FOR SECRET SERVICE ROOMS.
THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING A MINT ON
IT ALL THIS TIME AND JUST BEEN
FLAT-OUT LYING ABOUT IT.
EVEN IF YOU SET ASIDE THE PETTY,
RANK CORRUPTION AND SELF-DEALING
OF HIS TIME IN OFFICE, LEAVING
EVEN THAT ASIDE, ANY TIME
ANYBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO FOLLOW
ANY OF THE MONEY AROUND HIM, IT
IS A DUMPSTER FIRE AND SOMEONE
OFTEN GOES TO JAIL.
AND SO, YEAH, BROAD RANGING
SUBPOENAS FOR THE ENTIRE
UNIVERSE OF HIS FINANCIAL AND
BANKING RECORDS AND ALL OF HIS
TAX RETURNS GOING BACK YEARS,
YEAH, I THINK HE’S NERVOUS ABOUT
THAT.
THAT. I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE THE
PROVERBIAL HILL HE WOULD CHOOSE
TO PROVERBIALLY DIE ON IN TERMS
