Trump's Crimes

Trumpie Trump.

Trump's Crimes is a short essay by Karl Jones speculating why it is proving so difficult for anyone to get Donald Trump's tax returns.

The essay began as a Facebook comment, and has since been revised a number of times. The current version reads:

The problem is not that Trump has so much crime to hide (although surely he does).

The problem is all the other criminals whose crimes will be exposed when Trump's crimes are exposed, and the lengths they will go to prevent this from happening.

Some of these other criminals will be wealthy powerful men; some of them will be public figures such as Senators, Congressmen, governors, mayors and attorneys general; others will be captains of finance and industry; yet others will be Mafiosi.

One of these allied criminals might even be William Barr [Steve Mnuchin, Mitch McConnell, etc.].

The name of the individual in the last sentence (William Barr, Steve Mnuchin) is in response the parent article.

In his Facebook comments, Jones uses asterisks to indicate italics: *all the other criminals*.
