So… If it’s all hearsay, then why not just disprove it…

I wonder if the WB is talking to the WaPo because he’s getting frustrated with Neal’s plodding treatment of the complaint.

How hard can multiple bankruptcies be to audit?

Not at all. From the WaPo:

He’s not breaking news about the complaint, which would be illegal, he’s complaining about this bullshit of calling whistleblowers traitors and implying they should be executed.

Seems like a legitimate gripe.

When is Trump and Co going to bug out of the White House for the Shite House (Mar-a-Lago)?

Maybe some place overseas. Watch the kids and see if they are setting up digs elsewhere. Possibly next to a senior care facility.

IANAL, but assuming Trump is aware of the general content of the complaint [that’s what he sent his lackey to do, after all, stifle the audit], his comment about executing whistleblowers as spies sounds like witness intimidation.

It’s Mnuchin. Count on it.

Fuck Neal!! I hope he loses reelection. he could have gotten Trump’s tax returns from NY, but declined and allowed time for Trump to sue. I would say foiled again but he barely tried.

But go(!!!) WaPo. It’s billboard reads: We do excellent Deep Throat(s) and leaks R Us.

“His complaint focuses on allegations that at least one political appointee at the Treasury Department attempted to interfere with the IRS’s mandatory audit process, in which it audits the tax returns of the president and vice president each year.”

“I cannot reveal the culprit’s name,” he said, “but it rhymes with Schmeven Scmnuchin.”

Trump spent three years shoveling dirt onto the public consciousness of America. We had to pay attention to it to have a hand in stopping it (like the 2018 Elections).

But what it has done is to normalize it. Not normalize like accepting it. Rather normalizing it like kids playing amidst the rubble of Warsaw in Sept. 1939.

For sanity’s sake

And, unfortunately, even for us, diminishing the unprecedented robbery of America’s National Honor that this criminal unleashes every hour he is president.

Another hour, another questionable act…political appointee meddling with mandated IRS audit! The CORRUPTION is BOTTOMLESS!

What is the Extorionist-In-Chief and the Christian-Hypocrite-VP hiding in their tax returns?

Maybe this will light a fire under Neal to publicize the complaint, because that sounds like one pissed off whistleblower who is infuriated at political interference in government operations where there should not be. This one is going to be a big deal, and probably will get the tax returns released as well. Once again, it’s going to be the cover up that sinks the administration, and it’s civil servants who believe in the principles of the US that are doing it.
