Of course they will. They'll get to leak his tax records and then let whispering campaigns run wild on how many "illegal" tax dodges he is using. The general public...including the NY attorneys, you and maybe me...have not the first clue what a billionaire's taxes look like and how many programs provided for by Congress he is engaged in. I say maybe me because I did study tax law in bschool for two semesters, so I might have a first clue, but I'm still far from being able to understand it.I’ve been a tax CPA, and I have worked on returns of very high multi millionaires. (No billionaires that I recall, but the concepts are the same.)
This has never been about a suspicion of wrongdoing. It's about new fodder for feeding the ignorant "news" about how much Trump is cheating them on his taxes.
Hard cases make bad law. I doubt the State of New York will get anything out of it, I doubt very strongly Trump was doing anything at all illegal. He was making bank on his reality tv and his golf courses. Also, perhaps I’m mistaken, but aren’t the returns in question his State tax returns that he filed in NY?I believe it’s a federal prosecutor in New York, so I presume she’s demanding Federal tax returns.
I didn't realize that was a serious question to which you actually wanted an answer.You honestly don’t think you build up moisture by breathing through the mask?
Risks are relative. I feel the risk of which you speak is small and manageable. The only time I ever had a moisture problem on a mask was when I was cleaning out a dusty warehouse on a hot and very humid day. I was sweating and breathing heavy. There was no viral or bacterial threat, but I changed masks anyway as the moisture mixed with the dust to clog it up.
I look at it the same as I look at people that don't wear seat belts because they heard of a crash where the non-belted occupant was thrown clear of an exploding car. Had he been belted in, he would likely have died. But compare that to the number of lives SAVED by seat belts and that risk seems insignificant.
Yeah, a lot of people wear crappy masks and bandannas, and a lot of people wear the masks incorrectly (below the nose) and they fidget with the mask, and THEY EVEN TAKE IT OFF AND PUT IT BACK ON every time they get in and out of their car. But overall, masks reduce the rate of transmission of the virus. It's just cheap, but admittedly imperfect, protection against a potentially fatal disease.

Key words being "managed and mitigated" risk. We pay hundreds of dollars for "certified" parts that would cost $5 on the open market because the government tells us to. Pilots take recurrent training because the government tells us to. IFR pilots won't fly in IMC if they are not "current" per the FAA rules. We don't drink and fly, we don't fly over gross, we make sure we have that stupid little compass correction card that nobody ever uses because the government mandates us to "be safe".Your $3 mask can likely create a moisture spot in front of your nose and mouth that acts as a wick when you walk through an aerosol germ cloud, allowing you to breath in the germs when you’re well past the person who sneezed or cough.
But people don't want to wear a $3 mask because they are not 100% guaranteed to keep them from catching a serious disease. Perhaps as pilots, we should fly in IMC using only an Ipad because it is not guaranteed to kill us.
Our government under more competent leadership was able to stop each of these well before they became epidemic in this country.Bullshit. What did the government do to “stop” them? Facts, not hyperbole.
Trump did have Epstein at Maralago once. That's where all the pictures are from. However, he later distanced himself from Epstein due to the rumors of young girls. Clinton did NOT, yet all they show are the pictures of Trump.Trump BANNED Epstein from Maralago.
^^^^That's great. Yet now we are instead told to celebrate Diversity, BLM, LGBT, Muslims, Illegal Aliens, etc.
