[b][i]Federal[/i][/b] criminal tax evasion charges result in prison time with virtual certainty unlike any other sort of federal charge.

A small sampling of high profile ex-cons would beg to differ with your dismissive characterization of these charges:

[b]Walter Anderson[/b]

An American entrepreneur, Mr. Anderson made his millions after the breakup of AT&T. He was convicted for evading more than $200 million in taxes. It is reported that in 1998, he paid $495 in taxes on $67,939 of income. For this he got 9 years in a federal pen.

[b]Paul Daugardas[/b]

In a case dubbed by federal prosecutors as “the biggest criminal tax fraud in history,” former attorney Daugardas received [b]a 15 year prison sentence[/b] for helping clients evade taxes. He was convicted of creating a fraudulent tax shelter that would create fake loss to reduce the tax bills of the extremely wealthy. During its operation, the tax shelter generated more than $7 billion in fraudulent losses, creating $1.6 billion in lost tax revenue.

[b]Martha Stewart[/b]

Did 5 months in the fed pen and 5 months home confinement for securities fraud and tax evasion.

and of course, the granddaddy of them all, [b]Al Capone.[/b]

Federal prosecutors get a rigid, unsatiable, hard-on for celebrity tax evasion cases. They are some of the very best lawyers in the country and their careers are made with these cases. They do not bring them unless they can win. I am a tax attorney and deal with them on a regular basis. They'll make you take a plea, [b]but you will do time[/b].

Ok, Manafort evaded taxes. What has that to do with Trump? Nobody thinks Manafort is not going to do time for this. But no connection to Trump and Russia.

These charges are a means to an end, not the end in themselves.  In case you missed it, Manafort was heading Trump's campaign at the time when the campaign had contacts with Russian agents. [/quote]

No, he wasn’t. Nothing about campaign is in indictment. [/quote]

Manafort and Kushner (I love it!) met with Russian agents IN Trump tower to talk about getting Russian help to win the election! Just because this fact is not yet in any indictments does not mean it didn't happen![/quote]
