#1 Mueller, future spokesman for "Depends".

Manafort on the other hand was one wealthy (thus evil) SOB. I'm still waaaaay on back order for my ostrich feather coat.

#2 failing to pay more than $6 million in taxes,

I'm still trying to figure out how Mueller came to this conclusion (i.e., tax evasion / fraud) when the IRS did not.

#3 I'm no tax expert but can't help wondering, if somebody pays you money overseas and you keep the money overseas what business is it of the IRS?

I seem to recall that you are a hotshot tax accountant, Raj.
So you’re asking this question as a knowledgeable professional, right?

#7 I'd rather be a hotshot guitarist like Kirk Hammet, but that ain't happening.

What I know is this - Manafort has withstood at least one IRS audit without any adverse findings. I believe Mueller simply threatened him with fraud (and more financially crippling legal bills), and Manafort folded his hand.

The IRS claims the ability to tax U.S. residents on their overseas income. Only one other country does this - Eritrea.
