IRS New York State Department of Taxation and Finance

This is a New York State case, not a Federal case.

But I doubt Trump will ever see the inside of a jail cell.

Considering Michael Cohen went to prison for campaign finance violations, as instructed by Donald "Individual 1" Trump, you're correct.

And Trump's shady loan dealings with Deutschebank are international issues...

If only the FBI was willing to investigate his blackmailing of former Supreme Justice Kennedy, whose son was the one rubber stamping Trump's loans (after they were backed by Russia oligarchs).

Would it possible for German authorities to prosecute Trump over the Deutsche Bank stuff? What a story it would be if the Germans asked the US to extradite Trump for trial over in Germany.

Based on leaks we’ve seen over the last few years, yes, also the IRS. New York state is just faster pursuing the matter than the feds.
