A federal employee sent a letter at the end of July to the House Ways and Means Committee alleging "possible misconduct" and "inappropriate efforts" to meddle with the Internal Revenue Service's audit of President Donald Trump, reports CNN.

"On July 29, 2019, the Committee 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," committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., wrote in his letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin dated Aug. 8.

"This is a grave charge that appreciably heightens the Committee's concerns about the absence of appropriate safeguards as part of the mandatory audit program and whether statutory codification of such program or other remedial, legislative measures are warranted."

Hilarious. SO predictable.

Same MO, the rats are becoming increasingly shrill, especially as Barr's investigation progresses. But thanks to their nonstop mewling they've pretty much immunized Trump against any of their media BS - no one's listening.

Now, the reasons behind the "whistleblower" rules changes are becoming apparent.

What changes?

Absolutely none, @edpc.

Predictable BS-by-frivolous-complaint. Expect more, because the Dems will expose their game by overplaying their hand. Hatred and self-control seldom work hand in hand.

I wonder, though, whether the Dems realize this confirms Trump's claim that he is under more or less continuous IRS audit, a claim the Dems formerly mocked as untrue.

Just repeating what you hear and offering nothing of substance to validate it. What a surprise, @Sanguine

Uh huh.  Substance is wasted on you @edpc.  You make comments only to provoke a response that you then think you can knock down with your witty repartee.  I have no desire to engage with you.  You are immune to learning and I'm not really sure why you post here given that you disagree with almost anything and everything discussed here. 

Put me on ignore and move on.

Washington D.C. has turned into a "whistleblower" Party, as long as it is all pointed at Trump or any Republican.
And since the 'news' media and papers no longer care what is true or not, and will print any damn rumor or anything they simply make-up, all the whistleblowers go straight to print as an absolute indisputable "fact".

A 'whistleblower' just reported that he personally saw President Trump eating a hamburger with a knife and fork! *gasp*
That's frontpage stuff! Alert CNN and the NYT!

America has become a silly farcical nation.

I post here because of head up their ass, sanctimonious jokes like yourself who are perfectly aware of what the IC IG said about the law and reporting criteria in his four page release, but parrot fraudulent talking points, anyway. Someone has to go against the grain and call out your BS.

Eric(k)  Personal insults are frowned upon by this establishment.

Completely uncalled for, @edpc. You really ought to dial it back.

@edpc....take @Sanguine 's advice and put her on ignore.....and stop the insults please

[edpc]

I’ve never put anyone on ignore and I say whatever I think is right. It’s always mod prerogative to edit things. One thing’s for certain - the exodus of people who formerly posted a lot didn’t have anything to do with something I ever said.

@Sanguine is a HER!?
I always pictured an old guy smoking a pipe in a leather chair, from the posts that is.
Of course no insult intended. It is just you seem so wise, rational, thoughtful, and level headed, the last one to fall into hysteria, I never imagined a woman?

I'm vacillating between being massively insulted or massively flattered.

They have transgender ed now?

Anyway, back to the topic at hand; could the committee demand to see the tax returns in question, of course to determine if there was misconduct?

Mattel needed to do something with all those Malibu Barbie dies & fixtures.
