Oh yes yes, consequences aplenty! They are facing a fine of several thousand dollars here! Justice at long last!!
You forgot the strongly worded reprimand. He'll think twice next time.
Susan Collins thinks he has already leaned his lesson.
I'm honestly starting to think he was sent to us as some sort of test to see how much bullshit we'll put up with before we revolt, and we're fucking failing.
Makes me think of Vault 11 from Fallout New Vegas where the population has to sacrifice one person every year or everyone would be killed.
Only it was a test and if they refused then nobody is killed. But they send sacrifices for almost 200 years.

But on Wednesday, she notified a New York state court
Just how fast you want them to move?! This was reported to the court TODAY.
And he stole classified documents three years ago. He orchestrated a failed coup three years ago too. At the rate this is going he's going to be elected grand emperor and he will just dismiss the cases against him.

Wake me up if he’s in a high max security prison with an orange jumpsuit and a tear tattooed next to his eye
the legal ramifications for Trump is so great, that it’ll spill over to people who shouldn’t be in trouble but sadly had the letter ‘T’ in their name. So sorry Tommy and Tina, you’re going to jail cause our Orange Idiot is too rich.
Oh, you too Anthony and Bridgette, don’t think we didn’t see those T’s hiding!

Not just a tax bill, but insurance bills and attorney bills for the Carroll case.
But the rest apparently went to cover Trump’s mounting legal costs following a searing jury verdict in May that determined he sexually assaulted the journalist E. Jean Carroll—and slapped him with a $5 million penalty.
“I have also confirmed that the other transfers were for insurance premiums and to an attorney escrow account,” Jones wrote, referencing the Carroll case.
What a guy.
I feel like there should be a little more headlines about that, but after typing this who am I kidding? Thats not gonna damage him in anyway.
Does this imply that his funds generated from begging to his supporters are drying up?
I'm under no illusion that it'd be due to change 9f heart, but maybe they're tapped out at this stage.

Weird headlines for days around here O.o I had to come see what was going on because "Trump caught paying taxes" just sounds like a joke 😅
The only really surprising thing I see is that he's paying taxes at all. Also, what's the difference between quietly and loudly moving $40 million around? I honestly have no idea what kind of sound that makes.
He's under an injunction against quietly transferring funds around in case he tries to hide it. Let's be honest, he probably has accounts he hasn't declared that should be accounted for. If it's a legitimate expense all he had to do was let the observer know what he was doing and why. But instead he did it hoping it wouldn't be noticed.
He's a moron.
Because of the financial fraud trial involving the company, they're required to notify the judge anytime they move money around. "Quietly" in this case means they didn't do that.
I think 'quietly' is standing on for 'fraudulently' here.
That's how they got Al Capone, for tax evasion.
Stop it, you're killing me....Next you'll tell me he's disseminated classified materials to foreign nationals.
Keeping secret materials in your pool house bathroom is something from a scrapped episode of Arrested Development.
It would be cool if he actually got punished for being the con-artist he is.

Wait, he pays taxes?
He does now. Most of his ability to dodge taxes is either under investigation or shut down right now. Being under 91 active indictments isn’t the best time to be cheating on your taxes, but this is Trump after all…

Lock him the fuck up already.
I wish there was some way to cut off any funds to him via fundraising and crowdfunding. John Barron spent years lying about his wealth and now his supporters act like he's some kind of charity case. Do they even hear themselves when they justify sending a so-called billionaire their cash?
