'They're going to sing like canaries': Flood of DOJ employees expected to expose Trump after Rosen revelations

Taking part in a CNN panel discussing former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen's weekend testimony about Donald Trump's efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election results, conservative commentator Amanda Carpenter predicts the floodgates will now open with other DOJ staffers coming forward.

On Saturday, Rosen testified before a bipartisan collection of lawmakers and their aides for seven hours, with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) saying the former DOJ official handed lawmakers a wealth of information about the former president's maneuverings after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.

Discussing what will happen next, Carpenter -- a former top aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)-- said Rosen's testimony, and the fact that the DOJ has stated it will not block any employees from coming forward, means a lot more details about Trump's backroom dealings are in the offing.

"I mean, I think it just shows how dedicated Donald Trump was to this effort," Carpenter began. "If you don't mind me looking back a little bit, I'm a little frustrated because this would have been very relevant information during the second impeachment trial. Clearly you have people who were willing to talk and maybe they just needed the cover of the DOJ ruling saying they would be free to do so, but the second impeachment was really -- this is the same as the first."

"It's Donald Trump abusing official resources in order to get his way politically and stop Joe Biden from becoming president," she continued. "I mean, it's clearly a pattern here and so, I am very thankful that we have a January 6th select committee because I've got to believe there are many more people like Rosen. So once they have this legal, clear pathway in order to talk, they're going to sing like canaries."

Yes, the evidence has always been there that Donald Trump orchestrated a failed coup attempt. He needs to go to prison to show that this must not be tolerated.

No, I don't because that doesn't happen.

Carry on with your delusions of grandeur though.

Since they don't exist, you're right.

It's fun that the "Stop the Steal" is really about Trump trying to steal the election--and you being bamboozled by that.

You know Biden won the election fair and square, and you know it was Trump who whipped up his mob to attack the Capitol, and you know why, and it wasn't to Stop the Steal. None of that is any leftist CT, it's all the plain public-record truth.

Trump was going to jail for colluding with Russia in 2016. Trump was going to jail for his phone call with the President of Ukraine. Trump was going to jail for inciting a riot. Now they think he’s going to jail for other alleged crimes. Lol.

Yep, and the board Trumpettes know it.

anyone remember the story of al capone?

 

[KeithD]

The possibilities aren't closed down of Trump going to jail for multiple reasons. Who do the board Trumpettes think they are fooling?

I can pretty much guarantee that Trump himself hasn't discounted doing prison time. It's obvious in all he's doing and saying.

Let's start arresting all the poll workers in the swing states that stopped counting votes in the middle of the night, with Trump leading.

I bet they start "singing like canaries" on who told them to cheat!!

Maybe only Republican poll workers cheated. Seems likely to me.

You can repeat that all you want, but you're only embarrassing yourself at this point. It's horseshit, and you know it's horseshit.

Whether or not the Giant Orange Toddler will ever be charge criminally is one thing. Whether or not he'll ever see the inside of an iron playpen is quite another.

Yes. Tax evasion. You don’t think the IRS has been scrutinizing Trump’s tax returns for decades? Think he’s never been audited?

 

[jaF0]

King Dong says he has. Are you saying he's a liar?

 

[Fuzzy1975]

Yes. Tax evasion. You don’t think the IRS has been scrutinizing Trump’s tax returns for decades? Think he’s never been audited?

Have you ever been audited? Any idea of what an audit entails?

When you are audited, they are generally looking for errors, so if Trump's documents added up, there are no errors. No fraud, right?

Yet, what if Trump gained fraudulent documents, such as appraisals, those are not normally checked in a standard audit. While they may flag one or two for a forensic audit, a good cheat can beat even a forensic.

Here is an example, I hire a couple of appraising firms, who all are controlled by the same person or group. I pay them to issue phoney valuations, then when I am audited, I simply notify that person that they may be called upon to verify those fraudulent documents to the IRS.

They verify them, the forensic audit on them checks out, and the IRS moves on.

That is how you can beat the IRS, and unless the IRS then goes to audit the appraisers valuation, no one ever knows about it.

The above is exactly where I think the New York investigation is probing. Will they find enough evidence, or get someone to flush out the true valuations, that is anyone's guess.

Yet for you to claim Trump is not guilty of any income tax evasion, just because he was audited is juvenile thinking at best. The guy pays millions of dollars to ensure he pays the least tax possible, and I am sure he pushes the Tax code to the max all the time.
Like seriously, "you" have never cheated on your taxes??????? Never taken a "questionable deduction????????

al capone was 'untouchable'. judges were bought, juries were intimidated, witnesses disappeared. he bragged that he'd never serve a day. then a bookkeeper discovered a tax discrepancy that no one else had noticed. end of capone. what i'm saying is that it's only going to take one thing to demolish the whole house of cards.

And he might never -- but not in a single one of those instances is there any good reason why he shouldn't.

 

[pecksniff]

al capone was 'untouchable'.

No, that was the guys chasing him.

 

[pecksniff]

As for Trump's tax returns and other business records, I expect they'll be going back and forth between accountants and lawyers and historians for decades to come, it's all that complicated. Graduate students in 2060, in several different disciplines, will write their theses on them. That will include criminologists.
