Trump's Legal Opponent ARRESTED on Federal Charges

in a wild turn of events the man who has been chasing president Trump around the whole country suing him from state to state in order to get his name kicked off the ballot has just himself been arrested for several alleged felonies that's right the man in question is Mr johnanthony Castro and if his face happens to look familiar to you well that might be because several months ago we published an episode discussing what he's been up to over the past year or so let me give you a brief refresher if you happen to miss that previous episode Mr Ro is a tax consultant down in Texas but then also more relevant to our discussion today he is currently a candidate for the Republican primary given the fact that he has filled out the relevant paperwork to run for president as ostensibly a republican now obviously his campaign has gotten very very little traction evidence by the fact that he has never appeared in any Nationwide polls and also evidence by the fact that according to the records from the federal elections commission well Mr Casher has thus far raised 0 for his campaign aside from the $20 million that he himself gave to his own campaign however here's the thing it appears that winning the presidency might have not been the actual point of Mr Castro registering as a republican in the presidential primary I mean after all he barely has any campaign infrastructure in place and instead what appears to have happened is that Mr Castro registered to run as a republican so that he could have legal standing in order to file lawsuits and have Trump removed from the ballots across all of America America Mr Castro has thus far filed more than two dozen Federal lawsuits across the whole country seeking to get Trump disqualified from having his name appear on any of the ballots in those particular States his legal argument is that according to his reading of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution president Trump should be disqualified from running for office because he engaged in an Insurrection now if you'd like to get a deeper dive into Mr Castro's arguments here we actually did a point BYO deep analysis in our previous episode and I'll throw link to that previous episode down in the description box below which I will mention is that box right below those like And subscribe buttons both of which I hope you take a moment to smash so the YouTube algorithm will share this video out to ever more people but regardless this is what Mr Castro has been up to filing lawsuits across the whole country in order to disqualify president Trump and I will mention that the two cases over in Colorado and Maine which actually somewhat were successful at kicking Trump off the ballot were not Mr castros those two lawsuits were filed by a different organiz ation Mr Castro's lawsuits have actually by and large been dismissed one after the other however having his cases dismissed might now be the least of Mr Castro's worries that's because last week right before the weekend Mr Castro was arrested on federal tax charges and according to the federal prosecutors he was charged with 33 counts of helping others to prepare false tax returns now essentially the allegation here is that Mr Castro was running a virtual tax business which was giving his customers tax returns far far beyond what they were actually owed here's specifically what the prosecutors wrote in the court documents quote Castro with promise a significantly higher refund than taxpayers could receive from other preparers and on many occasions offered to split the additional refund with taxpayers in order to achieve these larger refunds Castro generated false deductions that were not based in fact and which were submitted without the taxpayer's knowledge then in terms of evidence the statement goes on to read that an employee of Mr Castro's spoke unknowingly to an undercover federal official regarding tax deductions quote the employee stated that Mr Castro would make any decisions regarding what items would be included on the tax filing the employee did not identify any deductions that would apply to the agent and in the course of the interview the undercover agent denied any facts that would support deductions however in March of 2018 Mr Castro allegedly filed the undercover agents tax return with $ 29,33 in fraudulent deductions before the IRS sent back a refund of$ 6,7 $7 Mr Castro received $2,999 for his Services the prosecutors also added that just like in this example with the undercover federal agent Mr Castro allegedly used the same tactics to create fraudulent deductions for dozens of other taxpayers as well resulting in quote hundreds of thousands of improperly paid claims now of course it goes without saying that these are just charges and everyone here in America is innocent until they are proven guilty and for his part Mr Castro not only maintains his innocence but even further than that in a statement that I gave to Newsweek Mr Castro said that these charges were actually retaliation by the federal government because he dared to challenge president Trump here's what Mr Castro said quote this is not by happen stance this is not by pure chance at all this is intentional targeting and political retaliation and abuse of the grand jury process they're just concerned with a headline person suing Trump is arrested on tax charges it's their way of trying to sideline me and basically just silence me I decided to start suing Trump in September of 2023 and that is when they decided that they're going to now impanel a grand jury and present that issue and try to secure an indictment and that is just totally bogus and so essentially Mr Castro's argument here is that the justice department under the purview of the Biden Administration is politically retaliating against him because he dared to challenge Donald Trump I would love to be a fly in the wall in that courtroom when he's presenting this argument and present the argument he will because as a part of a statement he said that he will not be accepting any plea deals and that quote I'm going to convince all 12 jurors that I'm 100% innocent and that this is political retaliation and who knows maybe he's right maybe when the justice department is not busy chasing down people who happen to be at the capital on January 6 they are in fact chasing down and retaliating against President Trump's detractors regardless there you have it the man who's been filing dozens of lawsuits across the country trying to get Trump kicked off the ballot has just himself been arrested on 33 Federal count of tax fraud funny how it all works if you'd like to read the full indictment against Mr Castro for yourself I'll throw a link to the pdf version of it down into the
