  • Trump beats the odds!

    Somehow both FBI Director James B. Comey and Andrew McCabe were
    "randomly" selected for the most intrusive audits available to the IRS.

    "Out of the 153 million returns filed for the year Comey was audited,
    only 5,000 tax returns were targeted for the audit. For the year McCabe
    was audited, 154 million people filed returns and 8,000 were selected
    for the audit."

    I'll leave it to the amateur statisticians to work out the chances but
    I'm impressed 1971 still returns Scott's calls to remind him of Nixon's
    enemies list.

    Trump still ruled in 2021 inside Stephen's little head.

    Poor, dumb scottw is oblivious to the machinations of the republicons he loves.

    Turns out every "election denier" running for state office was defeated this year. When the prosecutions start, that's the time to celebrate the snuffing out of Trumpism.

    Covered by the article:

    "Comey was informed in 2019 that his 2017 returns were being audited,
    and McCabe learned in 2021 that his 2019 returns were being audited. At
    the time both audits occurred, the IRS was led by a Trump political
    appointee."

    Yes, carrying out illegal orders can be a crime.

    More from the article:

    Kelly said that among those Trump said “we ought to investigate” and
    “get the IRS on” were former FBI Director James B. Comey and his deputy, Andrew McCabe. His account of Trump’s desires to use the IRS against his
    foes comes after the revelation by the Times this summer that Comey and
    McCabe had both been selected for a rare and highly intrusive audit by
    the tax agency in the years after Kelly left the White House.
