None of this can be used to go after Trump, since the information was obtained without a warrant, and those who released it committed a felony.
That makes it not true, huh?

investigations. That is what reporters do. They scour public records and talk to witnesses and use FOIA. A report like this has encouraged the state to go through trumps taxes. they have that power.
What's really funny is that Democrats actually believe that this is going to do them any good. They can't indict Trump. They can only try to impeach him. And they will never get the 60 votes required. Besides, you cannot impeach a President for something they did before they were elected. Idiots.
It's time we all gave up the illusion that this society runs upon anything but lies and corruption.
THIS IS WHY HE WON'T SHOW HIS TAX RETURNS...…...AND THIS IS WHY THE REALESTATE MARKET IS SO CORRUPT.
Trump Engaged In ‘Outright Fraud’ To Help Family Save Hundreds Of Millions In Taxes: NYT
The Times alleges that Trump set up a fake corporation to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump engaged in tax schemes that included cases of outright fraud in which he and his siblings helped their parents dodge taxes, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
The Times investigation, which a Trump lawyer said was inaccurate, showed Trump received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father’s real estate business, citing a “vast trove” of confidential tax return and financial records.
The Times reported that much of that fortune came to Trump because he helped his parents evade taxes, setting up a fake corporation with his siblings to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents. During his presidential campaign, Trump promoted himself as a self-made real estate mogul who started out with only a “very small” loan from his businessman father, Fred Trump.”
The Times said its findings were based on more than 200 tax returns from Fred Trump, his companies and various Trump partnerships and trusts. The records did not include Donald Trump’s personal tax returns. Trump lawyer Charles Harder told the Times: “President Trump had virtually no involvement whatsoever with these matters.”
Harder added: “The affairs were handled by other Trump family members who were not experts themselves and therefore relied entirely upon the aforementioned licensed professionals to ensure full compliance with the law.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. Reuters has not been able to verify the report.
The New York State Tax Department said on Tuesday that it was probing the allegations laid out in the Times report.

The newspaper said the report was based on interviews with Fred Trump’s former employees and advisers and more than 100,000 pages of documents describing the inner workings of his business empire.
“The investigation also draws on tens of thousands of pages of confidential records — bank statements, financial audits, accounting ledgers, cash disbursement reports, invoices and canceled checks,” the Times said.

Probably best you don't run for president
The son of a bootlegger was able to run for president in 1960.
For 8 years, the whiney ass filthy mouthed Republicans criticized every move Obama, Hillary, or any other Democrat took or of any reckless and irresponsible thing they could imagine in their twerped little minds. Accusing Hillary of Murder, child molestation, being a lesbian, and accusing Obama of being a Muslim, a Fascist, not being an American citizen, and even calling his wife and kids of being She-males and orangutans.
But they cannot use information that was not obtained with a warrant. Not even to launch an investigation. It's like that information doesn't even exist.
If you ever want to know what you are dealing with and what Republicans believe in general, just watch this.......
the information is irrelevant. All it did was encourage them to look. It is not proof, but more pointing out that it was likely they avoided taxes. The state is merely checking. if they find lawbreaking they will make a decision whether or not to charge or assess fines.
the information is irrelevant.
Does it bother you that the people who released that information committed a felony? Shouldn't they go to prison for that?
so we agree......no information, just accusations......gosh, that sounds just like the Kavanaugh hearings......
This newspaper investigation was fairly and legally obtained. .
You are so dishonest. This newspaper investigation was fairly and legally obtained. The crime we can both agree is what the Trump family did. Hope they get a nice fair investigation into what happened. Don't you? Of course, you do, you want the legal and proper paying of taxes for the wealthy, don't you?
You fall asleep during the hearings? Ford was careful controlled and honest. Even Trump agreed. Brett was a big crybaby, emotionally distraught and showing why he did not deserve consideration. But of course, swiftboating Ford was done. I am sure you saw through that and and criticized her abuse.
its not our fault none of her witnesses backed her up......not a single fact exists except her claims......
