The news broke last night that the Justice Department is suing treasonous Trumpist sewer dweller Roger Stone for $2 million in unpaid taxes, for allegedly using a company to shield himself from income taxes. According to the Associated Press:
"The Justice Department lawsuit was filed in federal court in Florida and argues that Stone’s tax problems stretch back to 2007, when a $205,410 tax bill mushroomed with interest and late fees to a bill of nearly half a million dollars.
The lawsuit alleges that Stone and his wife, Nydia Stone, used a trust and a company to try to improperly shield their assets from tax collectors while they continued to live a lavish lifestyle."
After his pardon last December from Russian asset and sociopath Donald "Tovarich" Trump for witness tampering and lying regarding his role in Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, Stone may have assumed he'd outrun the law. But along with this suit, Stone is being scrutinized by Federal law enforcement for his part in the January 6 seditionist insurrection at the Capitol. Like something that won't flush, his name keeps popping up in Federal court filings charging various insurrectionists, notably the Oath Keepers.
A final note: like Trump, Stone's failure to pay Federal taxes demonstrates a deep contempt for middle class and working families, not to mention the men and women of the armed forces, whose salaries are paid with tax revenues.... in higher amounts from those same middle class and working families.
