I didn't believe this to be true based on Rs changing rules during Clinton's impeachment. I understood it as the joint leaders can agree to subpeona someone, if not it's outside of the purview of the lead investigator.Republicans would get subpoena power i believe if there was a full vote.Right, but there is no legal precedent that they need to vote. Giving them the vote is ornamental and gives Trump the feeling that he dictated the vote.Trump wanted names on record so he, and the Rs, could go on the attack.Legit why is this such a talking point? Votes aren’t needed for an impeachment inquiry?
Just tired of seeing the “PuT iT tO a VoTE fOr iT tO CoUnT” people.
Documents obtained by ProPublica show stark differences in how Donald Trump’s businesses reported some expenses, profits and occupancy figures for two Manhattan buildings, giving a lender different figures than they provided to New York City tax authorities. The discrepancies made the buildings appear more profitable to the lender — and less profitable to the officials who set the buildings’ property tax.
For instance, Trump told the lender that he took in twice as much rent from one building as he reported to tax authorities during the same year, 2017. He also gave conflicting occupancy figures for one of his signature skyscrapers, located at 40 Wall Street.
ProPublica obtained the property tax documents using New York’s Freedom of Information Law. The documents were public because Trump appealed his property tax bill for the buildings every year for nine years in a row, the extent of the available records. We compared the tax records with loan records that became public when Trump’s lender, Ladder Capital, sold the debt on his properties as part of mortgage-backed securities.
ProPublica reviewed records for four properties: 40 Wall Street, the Trump International Hotel and Tower, 1290 Avenue of the Americas and Trump Tower. Discrepancies involving two of them — 40 Wall Street and the Trump International Hotel and Tower — stood out.
There can be legitimate reasons for numbers to diverge between tax and loan documents, the experts noted, but some of the gaps seemed to have no reasonable justification. “It really feels like there’s two sets of books — it feels like a set of books for the tax guy and a set for the lender,” said Kevin Riordan, a financing expert and real estate professor at Montclair State University who reviewed the records. “It’s hard to argue numbers. That’s black and white.”
Right, it would be the returns from all the LLC's, which when we're talking about his tax returns, those are included.Discrepancies in his business dealings. His personal tax records aren't going to show the tax fraud his businesses are participating in.
OK, I thought the lion's share of the fight was just his personal returns, if it's all the LLC's that's a horse of a different color.Right, it would be the returns from all the LLC's, which when we're talking about his tax returns, those are included.Discrepancies in his business dealings.

This is layers upon layers before you get to him individually if you ever do such that the bank won't know (whether through intentional or unintentional obfuscation), and moreover, trusts are exempted IIRC.If these entities have a bank account, the bank has to identify the beneficial owner.Trusts, LLCs, other corps, etc etc. There's almost no chance he's a sole proprietor on anything for a variety of reasons, tax reasons, liability insulation, confidentiality, etc etc.Other shell companies?
The bank is supposed to identify who has control or authority of the trust account. But right, if he's banking at Deutsche Bank, they fire people for doing actual BSA/AML risk management.This is layers upon layers before you get to him individually if you ever do such that the bank won't know (whether through intentional or unintentional obfuscation), and moreover, trusts are exempted IIRC.If these entities have a bank account, the bank has to identify the beneficial owner.Trusts, LLCs, other corps, etc etc. There's almost no chance he's a sole proprietor on anything for a variety of reasons, tax reasons, liability insulation, confidentiality, etc etc.Other shell companies?
