Trumpester on a roll

 Trump may have committed “serious federal crime” with “targeted” IRS audits of Comey, McCabe: expert

Comey, whom Trump fired in 2017 while he oversaw the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, and McCabe, who was similarly terminated after investigating Trump over the Coney firing, were selected for a "random" audit known as an "autopsy without the benefit of death," according to the report. Out of about 153 million individual tax returns filed in 2017, only about 5,000 people are selected for this type of invasive audit each year.

Man, Trump really exposed just how easy it is to corrupt the federal branch. What kind of braindead lackey at the IRS agreed to this blatant retaliation? You think trump was actually gonna check if they were audited or not? Of course not. They should have just ignored him. 

This deserves investigation - if one can direct the IRS to audit, one could also direct the IRS not to audit. And I suspect the latter would be used much more frequently.

I wonder who Trump might tell the IRS not to audit?


Georgia Official, Trump Cyber Chief Subpoenaed in Fox News Case

The voting-machine company falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election against Donald Trump is seeking to question two former administration officials and Georgia’s elections chief as part of its $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox News.

The GOP have been accusing others of doing exactly what they are doing. Saying the Dominion machines are rigged comes straight from the GOP playbook. https://www.dcreport.org/2020/12/19/mitch-mcconnells-re-election-the-numbers-dont-add-up/ 


Will Trump Run in 2024? There’s a Reason Why He Won’t Say

The former president’s hesitance to declare his candidacy involves — you guessed it — money and skirting the law

"Trump very much seems like he is running for president in 2024, which according to campaign finance law should prohibit him from coordinating with super PACs like MAGAA, or his leadership PAC Save America, which together brought in north of $80 million in the first half of this year. Trump is able to coordinate with those PACs, though — and use their money to finance his travel, his campaign-style rallies, his God knows what else — because he hasn’t yet officially declared his candidacy. The former president is then, in essence, running what appears to be a shadow campaign designed to skirt campaign finance regulations while holding the still-distant race for the Republican nomination hostage." 


Federal officials to Donald Trump: Your political money numbers don't make sense

Trump's Make America Great Again PAC made several mistakes in its first-quarter 2022 financial report, including discrepancies in its reported cash on hand in addition to calculation errors, according to a July 6 letter the Federal Election Commission sent the committee.

Trump is lining his pockets with his ignorant base.
