Trump fires IRS Chief after Senate orders audit of Epstein’s finances

1. From the article:

   >There’s another Epstein file in the government’s possession that has more than little black books and inconclusive flight records. These documents contain a clear, traceable money trail that links Epstein to both his clients and his victims through bank records and tax filings.

   >The US Senate Finance Committee has been investigating Epstein’s financial ties since shortly after his arrest in 2019, when prosecutors began to take aim at his wealthy associates, like former Wall Street executive Leon Black. A committee aide involved in the investigation, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said that the revelation that billionaires were paying a man with no formal training to do their taxes raised some major red flags.

   >“Our entry point here was that Jeffrey Epstein was providing tax and estate planning advice for a whole bunch of rich people, including Leon Black,” the aide said. “Black is a multi, multi, multi-billionaire. He’s extraordinarily wealthy. He already has access to the best tax lawyers and accountants in the world. Jeff Epstein was not a tax lawyer or an accountant. So it’s really inexplicable that Epstein could have had proprietary tax solutions that nobody else had.”

   >The committee caught its first big break in 2022, when investigators discovered a previously unknown $12 million payment Black made to Epstein. They determined that Black’s payment to Epstein for alleged tax and estate planning services was over $100 million — far more than the actual value of those services, even for a top accounting firm. This revelation was followed by a $62.5 million settlement Black paid to the US Virgin Islands in 2023, wherein he admitted that “Epstein used the money Black paid him to partially fund his operations in the Virgin Islands.”

   >Despite these revelations, the IRS has declined to audit both Black and Epstein, according to a statement Black gave to the committee in 2023. US Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Ranking Member of the Finance Committee, wrote a letter to IRS Commissioner Billy Long on July 31, demanding a detailed report explaining the agency’s reasoning for turning a blind eye to Epstein’s suspiciously lucrative arrangement with Black.

   >One week after Wyden ordered the report, Long was fired by Trump.

2. I need to congratulate my dad he told me Nixon was not so bad. Now he’s right

3. This means Trump paid Epstein for something, possibly several times …. gee I wonder what that could have been. 🤔

4. NOTHING SUSPICIOUS AT ALL GOING ON HERE

5. I’m really stumped, why fire the director, does he do the audits ? Does Donnie think he will appoint someone who will quash any irregularities, receipts with Donnie’s name on them ? The whole thing seems highly irregular.

6. Ha! Nothing to hide here. Just the pedo in chief, grifting from child misery….
