Biden already has started the process of getting us entangled in more foreign conflicts. Hope his foreign policies don't kill too many Americans before he is done. Democrats - now not only the party of slavery and poverty, but also the party of foreign wars.

(Reuters) - The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has subpoenaed a New York City property tax agency as part of a criminal investigation into Donald Trump’s company, the agency confirmed on Friday, suggesting prosecutors are examining the former president’s efforts to reduce his commercial real-estate taxes for possible evidence of fraud.
The subpoena issued to the New York City Tax Commission is the latest indication that Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. is looking at the values Trump assigned to some commercial properties in tax filings and loan documents.
Along with information already subpoenaed from creditors, the tax agency documents would help investigators determine whether Trump’s business inflated the value of his properties to secure favorable terms on loans while deflating those values to lower tax bills for those same properties.
New York City Tax Commission President Frances Henn confirmed the subpoena in response to an inquiry from Reuters.
The subpoena likely would compel the agency to provide detailed income and expense statements the Trump Organization would have filed as part of an effort to lower tax assessments on some of its commercial properties, according to people familiar with the commission’s operations. Trump’s holdings include Trump Tower and Trump Plaza.
Those filings typically would include valuations submitted by the company to challenge the market values assigned to Trump’s property by the city’s tax assessors, they added.
Subpoenas also have been issued to at least two creditors that helped finance Trump’s real-estate holdings, Deutsche Bank AG and Ladder Capital Finance LLC, Reuters has previously reported.
Vance’s office declined to comment on the tax commission subpoena. Deutsche Bank also declined to comment. Ladder Capital did not respond to a request for comment. A representative for Trump and a lawyer for the Trump Organization also did not respond to requests for comment.
Vance has not commented specifically on the focus of his investigation but noted in court filings that his office is exploring “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct” at the Trump Organization, including possible falsification of records as well as insurance and tax fraud.
Vance’s investigation is the only known criminal probe of Trump’s real-estate business. New York State Attorney General Letitia James is leading a separate civil probe into whether Trump’s company falsely reported property values to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits.
The tax commission is New York City’s forum for adjudicating appeals of tax assessments set by the city’s Department of Finance, which manages property tax bills and collections. A spokeswoman for the New York City mayor’s office said the department had not been subpoenaed.
The tax assessments are based on a property’s market value, as determined by the department, so challenges require detailed documentation to show that the assigned value is not accurate, including revenue and occupancy data.
If Trump’s business claimed a substantially lower value for a property in its tax filings than it did in documents it submitted to creditors, the discrepancy could help back up a fraud charge, according to Daniel J. Horwitz, a white-collar defense lawyer who previously prosecuted tax and complex fraud cases during more than eight years in the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
If there’s a “material difference” between the property values claimed in tax filings and the values claimed in loan documents, he added, “that’s fairly compelling.”

Puppet Joe got to many strings attached.After approving an emergency declaration several days ago, President Biden has now declared a “major disaster” exists in Texas and is sending more federal assistance, per WH. Assistance can include grants for temporary housing, home repairs & low-cost loans for uninsured property
1) insist that all Texans thank HIM, their “favorite president” personally for ^^^^

Support Joe Biden's policy to bring in more illegals. Make America strong. And don't forget to work another 20 hours a week to pay for their shelter, food, education, and health care. Don't just push the cost on to someone else.

I see AOC has already raised more than $3 million in funds for disaster relief in TX. What’s Fled Cruz raised ?
Bwahahahahahaha. Cons are so feckless, so sad.

Re: Vance investigation 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just like Michael Cohen said. It's not something that would necessarily put him in jail, but a public disclosure of his financials and a guilty verdict (or plea) will hurt his clout and crush his ego - which would be very satisfying 😉

Biden convinced a lot of dimwits to vote for him by claiming that the US should act internationally only in conjunctions with its allies. Well, the allies have already told Biden he can pound sand on a whole range of issues because the allies don't want to piss off China. What a naïve fool. Biden voters are even more naïve.

You must have missed this in 2016:
White Trump voters are less intelligent than Clinton voters. The average difference is maybe 3 to 5 IQ points. Trump voters aren’t all stupid, but there are more stupid Trump voters. Both parties have a spectrum of more and less intelligent people. Kids in the most successful liberal cities score 15 IQ points higher than average.

Biden doing his best every day (during the 3-4 hours he is awake) to sow hatred and division among Americans. He is setting us back even further than Obama set us back. Hope the country survives the Biden disaster.
