It is impossible for him to know anything of the sort, so he's just guessing at best.  
Well, for one thing, he has a masters degree in public policy from the Harvard-Kennedy School and he serves on both the appropriations and insurance committees in congress so it's likely he knows a thing or two about business deductions...
Course curriculum for the master's degree: " Students learn about policy and program analysis and development in nonprofit, public, and private sectors through statistics, economics, politics, and research."

LOL!  Oh man, you never fail to deliver the finest comedy on Your Moron TV channel do you?

Well, there you are folks, he has a master's degree and so he knows that Donald Trump's business deductions were unlawful.

Tell me something Einstein, have you ever filled out a business tax form in your life?

Do you think that when I mail in my taxes each year that I put all my receipts in a bag and then send them off to Uncle Sam?

I'm guessing that you're dumb enough to probably believe that.

What a God Damned idiot you truly are.   tongue
The idiot is you...A core curriculum component of a masters in public policy includes: "principles of taxation and expenditure analysis,..."

Your response provides us with the ability to understand that you haven't the vaguest idea of what is provided to the IRS as far as a deduction sheet is concerned.  

Go back and start a business and then fill out the necessary tax forms and maybe you'll understand just how ignorant your assertions are.  

Calling you a complete fool would be a raging insult to someone who is only a complete fool.  

You are light years past that..  smile
Tell that to the nonpartisan accountants in post 14 who agree with the congressman. It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about and the light in your gorde doesn't compete with that single dimming light bulb in your dank basement dwelling of your mother's home...

Rather than just doing your usual regurgitations, try rubbing together those very few brain cells you have and explain exactly what was taken in the deductions which you can prove was illegal.  

And I always love the obligatory preparatory commentary you make citing "Nonpartisan" accountants.... meaning accountants who will provide you with the that political fodder that you crave.  wink

I'll wait for your list of illegal deductions.  
Oh, obtuse moron,  since Trump's taxes have yet to be released to the public, but may on Tuesday, and since you state that a congressman with a master's degree in public policy isn't qualified to comment on what he has seen, nor are the non-partisan accountants, as per you, then how is it feasible for me to generate a list of illegal deductions which I am not, according to you, qualified to provide in the first place?
Finally, other than filling out your own self described business taxes, what makes you an expert in such matters and what specific education in tax courses have you taken?

I realize you've never done a Business tax form in your life, so you may want to get a clue.

You are the one making the charge that he took illegal deductions so it is on You to prove your accusations.  smile

Fact is that You can't.
Oh, obtuse moron, these aren't my accusations, they're the ones from the non-partisan accountants and from the congressman who have seen Trump's returns. And if the deductions they've noted aren't legitimate in the first place then it doesn't matter if he has receipts for those, either.
And, of course you're no expert on taxes but you're complaining about those accountants who have looked at Trump's returns and who are experts...

Sean Hannity Under Oath: Trump's Voter Fraud Claims Bogus

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Fox News host Sean Hannity admitted under oath that he “did not believe” for “one second” there was mass voter fraud in the 2020 election."
"Stephen Shackelford, an attorney for Dominion, made the case at the hearing that the company has strong evidence that Fox News journalists knew claims about mass voter fraud in the 2020 election were false but chose to amplify them anyway, the Times reported."
“Many of the highest-ranking Fox people have admitted under oath that they never believed the Dominion lies,” he said, according to the Times."
"Those include Fox News hosts Meade Cooper and prime-time star Tucker Carlson, Shackelford said."
https://thehill.com/homenews/3785645-sean-hannity-admits-in-deposition-he-didnt-believe-trump-voter-fraud-claims/
The case goes to the jury for a verdict in April, can't wait for this one not to mention the suit from Smartmatic...

They did so in order to try and get him removed from office via impeachment as well as the idea that they knew they would appeal to the absolute dumbest members of society who would in turn tune in nightly to believe the bullshit they were spouting, and as such they knew that those dumbest members of society who watched CNN nightly would regurgitate their lies willingly to others in society, whether it was true or not.

They were getting ratings through the roof at that time so they continued on with their bullshit and lies for many years.

Many of CNN's viewers wised up and realized they had been lied to for years, and left the network, which caused CNN's ratings to go into the sewer, yet they still continued to attract the dumbest members of American society, several of whom still appear here on this forum like yourself.  

I guess someone needs to sue CNN.  smile
Well Rich, since I don't recall CNN saying Donald Trump was Yuri the spy for Putin and since I watch CNN and you don't, you'll have to be the one to go after CNN in court since nobody else is...

Not in those words, however they promoted the lie that he was working with Moscow to steal the election.

Your leftists in the press also promoted every and all lies that the Leftist Democrats wanted them to promote.

I guess that in the 3 years of watching CNN, not much sunk in, considering that was their mantra for that time period.

Whether you subscribed to their Russian hoax theory, you certainly subscribed to the lies contained in the Dossier that CNN peddled as truth, even after it was discredited by Mueller and his clan.  

I remember you defending here on this forum, many of the lies contained within that fictional mess and claiming that it wasn't created by the very people whom it was created by, and paid for by the Hillary Clinton election campaign.  

you'll have to be the one to go after CNN in court since nobody else is...

 I'm not a fan of litigation for lying or for libel directed towards someone, since I believe that free speech is paramount in this nation, and so if CNN wants to lie as they do so often, the antidote is to promote the truth.  Now that is  aside from the fact of the lies that CNN and MSNBC peddled for many years. 

I'll leave that to hysterics like yourself who have Trump on the brain (what little there is of yours) to go after Fox News and others.    
And I suppose, in your view, Trump's campaign manager, who was subsequently convicted and then pardoned by Trump, acted on his own accord when he collaborated with Russian operatives on behalf of the campaign? And the fact that this was established by a Republican-led senate committee after the Muller report had concluded means nothing to you as well?  
I expect the jury will award defamation damages against Fox in a manner similar to that of the Alex Jones Infowars case but we'll see...
