T-rump's sister quickly retires as a Federal Judge to end judicial 'investigation'

T-rump's sister Maryanne Trump Barry, 82, quickly and quietly voluntarily retired as a federal appellate judge in Philadelphia last month, bringing the 'civil misconduct inquiry' launched against her to an end.

Her retirement was made public in an April 1 order signed by a top court official in New York, where the misconduct case against her was assigned to prevent 'conflicts of interest' for judges who knew Barry back in Philadelphia.

The civil misconduct inquiry stems from a New York Times report back in the fall that she participated in Trump family schemes to avoid paying taxes back in the 1980s and 1990s. A judicial investigation began in response to four citizen complaints filed in October after The New York Times published the story. The April 1 order says that Barry's "voluntary retirement" from all judicial duties now ends the civil misconduct investigation.

According to the Times' report, Barry, T-rump and their siblings had over $1 B transferred into their financial accounts during that period by their father Fred T-rump. That would have produced a tax bill of at least $550M, but through tax schemes the children only paid $52M.

“If the Times story is correct, then she participated in a decades-long multimillion-dollar tax fraud. That should be an impeachable offense. She gets her full salary,” Scott Shuchart an attorney who filed one of the complaints, said.

“I think it’s appalling that we’re continuing to pay this criminal and that she now has completely avoided consequence,” he added. “It’s ridiculous.”
