New "Papers" found, Koch & Mar-A-Largo Mafia

[JackLuis]

IRS abruptly stopped criminal investigation of Mar-a-Lago member accused of massive tax fraud months after Trump took office

Mar-A-Largo Mafia?

William Ingraham Koch lives five blocks away from President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, where he is a member. The only one of the four billionaire Koch brothers to support Trump, Bill Koch even hosted a Trump campaign fundraiser at his Cape Cod vacation home in August 2016.

In part one of the Koch Papers, we revealed that Bill Koch has enjoyed hundreds of millions of dollars of untaxed profits from his carbon-based businesses, having shifted profits earned in the United States to a subsidiary in the Bahamas. A 2016 whistleblower complaint prompted an IRS criminal investigation, but the IRS halted all communication with the whistleblower’s attorneys shortly after Trump became president.

Mnuchin is in the middle of this and Trump is complicit! Could this be a "Smoking Gun? Tax avoidance, enough for many F-35s, is the point. Follow the Money! Perhaps the Ways and Means Committee should look into this in DEPTH!

What you don't think that the Koch's are paying their fair share, do you? I'll bet you think all the lawyers they employ are keeping them on the straight and narrow.

Maybe it's a Soros funded witch hunt. eh?

And here is the question not a single person who uses that term ever answers......define "fair share"

Not into conspiracy theory, certainly not ones born of partisan paranoia.

I’ll answer. About 33%, same as I paid most of my working life.

That's a tax rate you want to see them taxed at, not a definition of "fair share".

And how do you know they haven't paid "about 33%"?

What about 33% makes it "fair"??


Dictionary says as long as they've followed the law they are paying their "fair share".

Sounds like you're conflating "fair" with "equitable"....not necessarily the same thing.

BUT if you're game for equitable instead of in accordance with the law then so am I, I'd like to see EVERYONE, including the lower 47% of the country coming up off 33% of their income too.

You’re assuming they “followed the law.” That’s a huuuuuge assumption.

Assumption of innocence is the standard in this country.

If you have evidence that they aren't paying their taxes in accordance with the law then you should contact the IRS as I'm sure they would be VERY interested in what you've got on them.

Well that's the thing, the IRS was investigating them until... Lumpy Trumpski was elected then...crickets. And, if you read the article, they fired the guy that was asking the questions.
But, you didn't did you, BB?

We shall see. The story just broke and it hasn't filtered out yet. I suspect that much of the MSM will avoid it, for fear of the Koch's ire, until it reaches critical mass. Probably about August.

Indeed.....that critical mass has been just around the corner for 3....almost 4 years now??

Any day!!

It's not the Koch's they are worried about, the Koch's don't own them or have any authority over them.

It's getting busted pushing another conspiracy and their ratings winding up in the toilet like Maddow, CNN, RAW, Buzzfeed and all the other Russiagate outlets who are now floundering.
