THAT WE’RE WAITING ON RIGHT NOW
FROM THE U.S. SUPREME COURT IN A
DECISION THAT COULD COME AS SOON
AS TOMORROW.
IT HAS ALWAYS STRUCK ME AS ONE
OF THE GREAT OVERLOOKED
JAW-DROPPERS OF THE
SCANDAL-RIDDEN TRUMP ERA.
THAT JUST ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT’S HAPPENED SINCE HE’S BEEN
IN OFFICE IS THAT HIS OLDER
SISTER, FEDERAL JUDGE MARYANNE
TRUMP BERRY REALLY DID HAVE TO
GIVE UP HER LIFETIME SEAT ON THE
FEDERAL BENCH IN ORDER TO AVOID
A JUDICIAL ETHICS INQUIRY INTO A
MASSIVE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR
ALLEGED YEARS-LONG TAX FRAUD
SCHEME THAT SHE REPORTEDLY
ENGAGED IN WITH HER FAMILY,
INCLUDING WITH HER BROTHER, WHO
IS THE SITTING PRESIDENT.
I MEAN, WE DON’T EVEN THINK OF
THAT AS ONE OF THE TRUMP
SCANDALS, BUT, LIKE, THAT’S
BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER
PRESIDENTIAL SCANDAL OF MY
LIFETIME.
IT’S ONE OF THE FORGOTTEN
SCANDALS OF THIS PRESIDENCY.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS
BILLY CARTER, RIGHT, THERE WAS
ROGER CLINTON, THERE WAS -- WHAT
WAS THE.
NEIL BUSH.
THERE ARE PRESIDENTIAL SIBLING
EMBARRASSMENTS, BUT SINCE WHEN
HAS A PRESIDENTIAL SIBLING HAD
TO RESIGN FROM THE JUDICIARY TO
AVOID SCRUTINY OF THE THINGS SHE
DID WITH THE PRESIDENT WITH
TAXES AND THEIR FAMILY MONEY?
THIS IS FROM PAGE 193 OF THE
BALK BOOK.
I MET WITH MARYANNE, HER ON THE,
THE.
’S OLDER SISTER, I MET WITH
MARYANNE AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER THE
ARTICLE RAN.
SHE DENIED ALL OF IT.
SHE WAS JUST A GIRL, AFTER ALL,
SHE SAID, WHEN A PIECE OF PAPER
REQUIRING HER SIGNATURE HAD BEEN
PUT IN FRONT OF HER, SHE SIGNED
IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
SHE SAID, THIS ARTICLE GOES BACK
60 YEARS.
YOU KNOW THAT’S BEFORE I WAS A
JUDGE.
SHE SAID THIS AS IF THE
INVESTIGATION HAD ALSO ENDED 60
YEARS BEFORE.
SHE SEEMED UNCONCERNED THAT
THERE WOULD BE ANY
REPERCUSSIONS.
ALTHOUGH A COURT INQUIRY HAD
BEEN OPENED INTO HER ALLEGED
CONDUCT, ALL SHE HAD TO DO TO
PUT AN END TO THAT WAS RETIRE AS
A JUDGE.
WHICH SHE DID.
THEREBY RETAINING HER $200,000 A
YEAR JUDICIAL PENSION.
WELL, THE ARTICLE IN QUESTION,
MARY TRUMP SAYS I MET WITH HER
AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER THE ARTICLE
RAN.
THE ARTICLE IN QUESTION, THE ONE
THAT CAUSED THE PRESIDENT’S
SISTER TO RESIGN HER LIFETIME
APPOINTMENT AS A JUDGE BECAUSE
THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY SHE COULD
PRECLUDE THE JUDICIARY FROM
RUNNING AN INQUIRY INTO WHAT SHE
ALLEGEDLY DID, THE ARTICLE IN
QUESTION, OF COURSE, WAS THE
PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING GIGANTIC
INVESTIGATION INTO THE
PRESIDENT’S FINANCIAL PAST THAT
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" PUBLISHED
IN OCTOBER OF 2018.
THAT IS WHERE WE LEARNED FROM
THE"THE TIMES" DOGGED REPORTING
A TON OF DOCUMENTS THEY
EXCLUSIVELY RETAINED, THAT’S
WHERE WE LEARNED THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAD RECEIVED HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM HIS
FATHER, NOT THE $1 MILLION LOAN
THAT HE HAD LONG PUBLICLY
CLAIMED
CLAIMED WAS HIS SOLE INHERITANCE
FROM HIS FATHER.
THAT’S WHEN WE LEARNED THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY RUNNING
THIS REPORTED SCHEME BY WHICH
THEY SYSTEMATICALLY UNDERVALUED
THEIR ASSETS TO THE TUNE OF
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
BASICALLY TO CHEAT ON PAYING
TAXES.
THAT’S WHERE WE LEARNED THAT THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY CREATED
-- WENT SO FAR AS TO CREATE A
FAKE COMPANY TO SIPHON MONEY OUT
OF THEIR FATHER’S COMPANY
WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY TAXES ON
IT.
THE SCHEME WORKED BY MARKING UP
BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS,
