Joe Biden Center Secretly Taking Money From China?
I think the bigger crime is with $70 Million being secretly donated to the Biden Center by the Chinese government.
No?

Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips headed to the Biden Center in Washington, D.C. to discuss allegations that the center and it's host school- the University of Pennsylvania- are failing to disclose tens of millions of dollars worth of gifts from the Chinese government.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Details:
A nonprofit watchdog organization has filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of education regarding alleged undisclosed donations from China to the University of Pennsylvania and its Biden Center for Diplomacy and Public Engagement, an arm of the institution named for former Vice President and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The National Legal and Policy Center said in a May 21 announcement that "since 2017 alone," the year the Biden center opened, it has received "over $70 million from China, of which $22 million were listed as 'Anonymous.'" The complaint specifically names the Biden Center, which is part of the University of Pennsylvania. The foreign gift reporting, however, only includes a list of foreign donations, both "monetary gifts" and contracts, to UPenn and does not distinguish which may have been earmarked for the Biden Center.
The entries do acknowledge that the foreign gifts came from China. However, because the gifts from China are more than $250,000, federal law requires that the specific name of the individual donor to disclosed, not just the country of the gift's origin.
The complaint includes a footnote, which states that the amounts in question lack the name of a specific donor.
"Instead, they are listed as 7-digit numbers in gifts in July 2019 and August 2019 and elsewhere. NLPC does not know whether those are Anonymous gifts or whether the Department has the name of the donor that matches the number. In any event, the name of the donor is required by law to be disclosed, not just a number," the complaint continues.
Campus Reform identified ten instances in which donations of any amount to UPenn included only a number, whereas another 24 donations of all amounts were "anonymous." Of the donations to UPenn that were $250,000 or greater, Campus Reform identified more than two dozen examples where the individual donor names were not listed, amounting to about $26 million in undisclosed foreign gifts from China.
NLPC's complaint suggests that Biden's candidacy for president may have prompted an influx of cash to the center.
"From 2013-2019, the University of Pennsylvania received more than $67 million from China sources. More significantly, after the Penn Biden Center opened here in Washington, D.C., in February 2018, the China gifts poured in all the more, and continued after Biden announced his candidacy of the presidency on April 25, 2019," the complaint alleges.
NLPC chair Peter Flaherty said upon filing the complaint, "it is apparent that the Biden Center is beholden to China for its operations,”
“These multi-million-dollar donations from China are bad enough but the flagrant reporting violations over the years are simply outrageous," NLPC counsel Paul Kamenar added.
The complaint comes just months after the Department of Education announced a federal investigation into two other Ivy League institutions- Harvard and Yale -for their alleged failure to disclose foreign gifts, including money from China.
The Biden presidential campaign and the Department of Education did not respond in time for publication.
UPenn spokesman Stephen Maccarthy told Campus Reform, "the University is in compliance with federal foreign gift disclosure requirements. As to their allegations regarding the connection of gifts to the Penn Biden Center, that is completely untrue. In fact, it is total nonsense. We have never solicited any gifts for the Penn Biden Center. Since its inception in 2017 there have been three unsolicited gifts (from two donors) which combined total $1,100. Neither of the donors were from China."

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
word is Trump's legal team was horrified after that admission of tax evasion at the Loserpalooza, then on top of that ...

The problem is not just the tax evasion, it is the double bookkeeping to hide what they were doing. That is fraud. Trump is a tax thief He also hid the payoff money he gave to cover up his affairs so he could run for president. Trump has no respect for the law, but a tax thief wants to run the government. He refused to support America but thinks he should be in charge? Rightys are not even offended by that nor can they understand what contradictions it presents.
As bad a person as Trump is, it is his followers who are the problem. They have the same values. I did not think there were that many people like that in America.

Trump is a choir boy compared to what bastard Biden has done for almost 50 years.
He masqueraded as a decent, upstanding, competent, responsible US Senator, when in reality, he was hiding his sexually predatory nature among other things.
He knowingly led us to believe he was soimething he wasn't in order to deceive us and benefit from our misplaced trust.
Trump never did that in office.
Biden did.
Biden is a scum bag.
The Left will cause Government of the people, by the people, for the people, to perish from the Earth.

JOE BIDEN AND DA HO HARRIS ARE BAD FOR AMERICA

From your link:
"Former president Donald Trump lashed out at Manhattan prosecutors Saturday night for indicting his organization and its chief financial officer for tax fraud, calling it “prosecutorial misconduct” in his most extensive comments on the charges since they were unsealed Thursday.
"As Trump criticized the investigation, he appeared to acknowledge the tax schemes while questioning whether the alleged violations were in fact crimes.
"“They go after good, hard-working people for not paying taxes on a company car,” he said at a rally in Sarasota, Fla. “You didn't pay tax on the car or a company apartment. You used an apartment because you need an apartment because you have to travel too far where your house is. You didn't pay tax. Or education for your grandchildren. I don't even know. Do you have to? Does anybody know the answer to that stuff?”"

Love the way he's playing the marks at the bitch-in by trying to paint the extremely-well-compensated tax-dodging employees are people just like them. Bet the rubes were lapping it up too. "See? He understands us." *snort*
