One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

AOC: Trump should be having congressional leaders in the WH. Do you see that every day? No, you don't because they're playing golf and they're going to mar-a-lago and the Republicans in the house have been on vacation for weeks now

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

Exclusive | Trump Team Plans IRS Overhaul to Enable Pursuit of Left-Leaning Groups The effort would install a Trump ally at the IRS’s criminal unit who has drawn up a list of investigative targets.
