I’ll never understand why people are afraid of Trump. He’s a see-through act. Even as President, he was too much of a coward to fire any of the hundreds of people he fired to their face. They were fired via intermediaries or over Twitter. Remember Comey found out via a news report while he was giving a speech?
My only guess is he has privy to some very deep secrets about the R’s that they’re desperate to not have see the light, although most likely they are things only important to them.
Except that they didn’t. The Republican majority said so, but the FBI found no evidence of “enemy hunting”. The Republicans were going to cut the IRS budget anyway.
Heh. It was the results of the audits that were disproportionate. The “Tea party” groups had a lot more problems found than “Occupy” ones.
As with everything Repub, reality didn’t matter. They got the message out there “The IRS disproportionately audits conservative whackos”, and the actual findings didn’t matter.
They got to cut the IRS budget to the point where investigations/prosecutions of shenanigans by people who had enough $ to fight back legally were no longer a viable course of action, and the IRS only had the capacity to investigate and prosecute “the little guy”. Goal achieved. All with the unthinking support of “the little guy”.
Has a bit of French Revolution Reign of Terror vibe to it. I know that seems like exaggeration, but If he’d gotten in for another four (eight, twelve…) years, the comparison might be more apt.
