@Heathme is afraid. He clearly lacks the capacity to do what thriller does.

A federal employee turned over “credible” evidence to House Democrats of possible “inappropriate efforts to influence” the IRS presidential audit process, House lawyers said in a court filing Tuesday.
In July, House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., sued Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin after the latter rejected the panel’s request for six years of Trump’s tax returns. On Tuesday, House lawyers cited the new evidence in a motion asking a federal judge to rule without trial that the Treasury Department is required by law to turn over the president’s tax returns.
The motion included a letter from Neal to Mnuchin revealing that the committee in July received an “unsolicited communication” from a federal employee “setting forth credible allegations of ‘evidence of possible misconduct’ — specifically, potential ‘inappropriate efforts to influence’ the mandatory audit program,” Politico reported.
In a response two weeks later, Mnuchin rejected Neal’s request for records related to the matter and urged him to take it up with the IRS inspector general.
House lawyers said in the motion Tuesday that the new evidence has heightened the need for the committee to receive Trump’s tax returns. The IRS is required to audit the president and vice president each year. Democrats argue that the new evidence requires them to see Trump’s tax returns to ensure the IRS audit process is legitimate.
“The Committee needs the requested information to evaluate the integrity of the IRS’s existing program for auditing Presidents’ tax returns — a need only heightened by the Committee’s receipt of whistleblower allegations about improper influence in that program,” the attorneys said.

Nice try. Polls showed nothing like this in 2006.
Socialists tell capitalists what to do all the time.
Socialists tax the hell out of consumers all the time with tariffs.
Gotta love TrumpSocialism.

Ya got me there. Madcow wasn't even on MSNBC in 2006. But ever since she has been she's taken every piece of news, slanted it as if the entire world was going to tip over, and then blown the analysis out of proportion to a degree that boggles the mind.
I typo'd that, meant to be 2016 when she was around. The polls are quite different. I rarely watch Maddow (I'm cable free and only catch cable news when I'm traveling). Maddow is and will always be highly biased. But she does a nice job of drawing attention to Trump's many foibles.
"Madcow" really? Come on, dude, don't stoop down to POTUS-level elementary school insults, you're better than that.

It's not really socialism, it is the kind of authoritarian behavior seen in dictatorships around the world, and across ideological spectrums.
