While we assume or absorb the magnitude of this information and whether this will be more of the same ole breaking insane news of a sitting president that's swept underneath the table, I've got to believe that something has to be closely tied into this tax return information and the case(s) that the SDNY has or will get.
I don't believe the New York Times received this information couple days ago or a week ago or even months ago. I believe they've had this information and Trump more than likely knew this.
What's more shocking is that Trump could piss off so many major organizations like the military, CIA, FBI and IRS and not be touched thus far, but I think as someone stated, no one wanted or wants the embarrassment of arresting a sitting president so now this is just prep for the day that he doesn't get re-elected. I think this tax issue will be his ultimate downfall like Capone as there's evidence of him blatantly creating fraud for jail time because the IRS is not going to let people think that they can get away with not paying virtually no taxes this publicly disproportionately by just owning a company and some real estate - and if they do or don't let him get away... I'd advise all of you to quit whining and bitchin' about ceo's who run companies and
immediately take full advantage of the tax codes and own a company (for less than $500 in some states) and some real estate, hire a CPA and correctly write off thousands of dollars in taxes.
The irony is his personal lawyer Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years for lying, but mainly for his tax evasion (that involved Trump to some extent but never investigated more because Trump's refusal to provide his tax returns) which is how any powerful person in position can be brought down fairly easily if need be especially a dumbass crook like Trump.
The Manhattan DA may already have the pertinent New York state tax returns for the Trump Organization. If this is the case, then why the fuss over the Mazars USA subpoena, and what other surprises can the public expect?

The Connection Between Cohen’s Case and Vance’s Investigation
Vance likely possesses substantial evidence and investigative leads gathered in the Mueller and SDNY inquiry into Cohen. This would no doubt include information as to who directed Cohen to submit false invoices to the Trump Organization; these
false invoices led to Cohen receiving checks totaling $420,000 to reimburse him for his hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels et al, a total which was “’grossed up’ for tax purposes,” according to SDNY.
The inclusion of taxes in the reimbursement payments by the Trump Organization indicates that these payments were treated as a business expense on the Trump business records, which would then flow through to the tax returns unless flagged by some executive prior to submission to the relevant tax authorities. If the deduction were not corrected then, flagrantly false tax returns would have been prepared, subscribed to, and submitted, based on the prior falsification of the business deduction for legal expenses.
Thus, the alleged tax fraud was committed in association with the cooking of the books of the Trump Organization stemming from the posting of the false invoices. This fraud elevates the state misdemeanor of falsification of business books and records to felony status since it is in coordination with the commission of another felony – tax fraud. Mail fraud and/or wire fraud charges could also be contemplated since the false invoices were either mailed or wired as were the reimbursement payments.
Trump signed
one reimbursement check while in the White House. He further misrepresented these payments as ‘personal’ on his 2018
financial disclosure form in an attempt to characterize these payments as both business expenses (in the tax returns) and as personal expenses (in his financial disclosure form). This misrepresentation adds to the evidence of deliberate intent to defraud in any prospective Vance prosecution.
