Donald Trump Lied About The Wiretaps

Well, what else is new? Donald Trump lied about the character of a good person. As it happens, his claim that President Obama wiretapped his silly-assed phone conversations at Trump Tower was a complete fabrication. Yes, there was an investigation in progress. When people constantly involve themselves in fraud, money laundering, civil torts of almost all descriptions, and lie constantly, various law enforcement agencies tend to investigate. Especially when said people do those things with our nation's enemies. If Donald Trump cannot do the time, however it may present itself, he should not do the crime(s).

Governor Sam Brownback Needs A New Washing Machine

As you can see, Governor Sam Brownback did not wish to discuss some pertinent financial matters about which he was quizzed by a citizen. Such arrogance! He should have known what could potentially follow: now it's not a fellow citizen or a journalist asking him if he is finished with his laundry yet, it's a federal grand jury!

From the looks of things, Jeff Colyer, Brownback's lieutenant governor is not as savvy about matters financial and "money management" as he had previously thought!

Happy Holidays: The IRS Gave The Money Back

Just in time for the holiday season, the IRS gave a restaurant owner named Carole Hinders, of Iowa, back the money that they had confiscated last year, because it looked as if she was attempting to manipulate the amounts of her bank deposits in order to skirt banking laws. Her bank deposits were often just a little bit shy of $10,000; and it looked as if she was manipulating them, or "structuring" them, in order to avoid creating records. Often, this is associated with money laundering and is done by drug dealers. Carole Hinders wasn't involved in either.

The Internal Revenue Service was unable to prove intent, and actually gave her money back to her last week. Luckily, Hinders had support and representation; hopefully, small business owners can learn from this.
