Yo, there's a second whistleblower, who alleges Trump tried to interfere with the IRS audit of his taxes

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-tax-whistleblower-irs_n_5d8bafc6e4b08f48f4ae8978

The tax whistleblower, meanwhile, went straight to Congress ― specifically to the House Ways and Means Committee, which had sued the Trump administration for refusing to provide copies of the president’s tax returns in response to a formal request. Democrats say they need Trump’s returns to make sure the IRS properly enforces tax laws against the president.

But Ways and Means Chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.) is far less outspoken than Schiff, and his approach to the tax case has been cautious. He decided to stay focused on the lawsuit, using the whistleblower’s material to bolster that case.

In a brief last month, the committee told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that a “federal employee” had approached them with “evidence of possible misconduct” and “inappropriate efforts” to influence an IRS audit of the president. The document provided no further detail about the whistleblower, but in a footnote, Democrats offered to tell U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden all about it in private.

A spokesman for the committee said this week that McFadden, a Trump nominee who donated to the Trump 2016 campaign and volunteered for the Trump presidential transition, has so far not asked to hear more about the whistleblower. He denied a Democratic motion to speed up the case.

1. Wait, what?!

Oh my goodness!

[tavalon]

28. OMG

If I listed all of his impeachable offenses, I would be writing a novel.

[Frustratedlady]

42. Nobody would read it because this whole administration (plus Trump's life) are beyond belief.

Can you even imagine trying to put the last few years into a book? How could you even begin to write it?

[bdamomma]

62. it would have to

be in continuous volumes.

[Roland99]

44. You'd take out the rest of the Amazon for the paper

[lagomorph777]

54. Soon it will be an entire orchestra of whistleblowers.

Time's up, Trump. Off to Mar-A-Gitmo you go.

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Whoa

Wow, this guy is going down.

[sunonmars]

3. He's really up against it, the dam is bursting wide open.

Not sure GOP are going to want to save him.

[Locrian]

53. it's like a fish feeding frenzy!

[Vinca]

4. Have them form a line to the right.

[warmfeet]

31. Nice!

[spanone]

5. He's AMAZING!!

[Leghorn21]

6. I - er, well, I'm not able to - I mean I simply have no - wait, I just

yeah, I’ll sit quietly in the corner now

[trueblue2007]

50. Butt but but but ...... HER EMAILS !!!!!

[BootinUp]

7. We may have to deal with this judge later. Nt

[Raster]

10. we may have to deal with a whole bunch of judges later...

Moscow Mitch and his band of Senatorial Deplorables installed approx. 120 judges to various federal benches, many with questionable judicial training and skills.

[Mike 03]

22. Yes, the Judge Problem is going to last a generation.

It's the worst aspect of the "legacy" this sick president has left us.

[Raster]

25. And that was PRECISELY their intention...

...The GOP*s owners realized they are a dying brand, and opined that stacking the courts was the only way to maintain power and influence.

[DENVERPOPS]

32. all they need they have

All they need, they have........THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

And if something happens to any of the older good judges, it will get even worse.

I cannot imagine it can get worse than Gorsuch and Kavanauh, but I'm sure they can find one that is even worse.....

The US Supreme Court doesn't even need jurisdiction or a need to have the legal right to jump in and decide a case.
Case in point, the 2000 election when they ordered the re-count to be stopped in Florida.

[lagomorph777]

55. Count on it, EVERY Trump appointee is a criminal, and suitable for impeachment.

There's going to be a lot of cleanup to do.

the only thing worse would be a story breaking that Dump paid off hookers for their silence. Oh wait...

[TexasBushwhacker]

56. I'm still waiting for an old girlfriend he knocked up

to come forward to say he paid for h e r to have an abortion.

[malaise]

11. Why is why Speaker Pelosi is correct re all Committees

investigating this piece of shit

[Chakaconcarne]

12. There's a 2 week recess coming up....

This will all blow over.....

[Roland99]

16. That damn well better be canceled!

[yaesu]

19. The committees involved in the impeachment may stay behind according to one House Rep. nt

[ecstatic]

34. They better. We're in danger right now. nt

[tavalon]

29. I dunno

I think that might get canceled.

[Lulu KC]

57. Schiff said they're not taking the recess

Not sure if he meant his committee or entire House.

[bdamomma]

63. I think it was his committee

I wonder if the other committees working on this will stay behind too

[Lulu KC]

64. I read that many House members are standing by to return to Washington if needed

Sorry that it was during an insomnia interval last night so I have no sources!

[SunSeeker]

13. K & R for exposure.

[TeamPooka]

14. The IRS one was first. I've been waiting for it to come back

Plus the guy is in violation of his contract on the post office hotel. It says explicitly no government office holder can be a party to the contract. How did we lose that one?

[yonder]

20. It's just not possible

to keep up with the OOOZE.

I know I can't.

[Me.]

15. Wow & Double Wow

[Initech]

17. Man I'm gonna have to buy stock in Orville Redenbacher! And Land O Lakes!

[tavalon]

30. And then you will be rich

[B Stieg]

18. This HAD to happen! tRump is pure corruption. nt

[Ligyron]

21. We need to proceed cautiously.

Hard not to get excited 'cause this is more icing on the cake but remember Shrub's DUI set up? I wouldn't put it past them for one minute 'cause I think they're desperate to save him. Hope I'm wrong and they cut him loose but...

Where's Roger Stone now anyway?

[Leghorn21]

26. He's in court getting rejected, poor t'ing

A federal judge has rejected Roger Stone's request to
suppress all evidence gathered through 18 search warrants
at his November trial, finding that DOJ properly obtained
court approvals before charging Stone with lying to Congress
and witness tampering.

[warmfeet]

35. I certainly wouldn't want

a 16 ton stone to fall on Roger's head.

Oh wait, of course I would.

Lock the rat fucker up. Throw away the key.

[Ligyron]

38. ...and hit him with the dead chicken anyway.

[Ligyron]

37. Bwahahaha!

Hey, thanks for that it made my night and Trump made my day.

[Leghorn21]

40. My pleasure, and some guy named Jerry Falwell got a tad of bad news today as well!!

Enjoy!!

23. John R. Cash...

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone

When I was just a baby
My Mama told me, "son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away

[YOHABLO]

48. Lots of symbolism and analogy in that song and so appropriate for this time in U.S.history.

[regnaD kciN]

24. Fine, but Pelosi has reportedly already told House members...

...that the impeachment inquiry will only be about the Ukrainian matter, so doubt this will get any play.

[StevieM]

36. I am not sure if that is exactly what she said.

As I understand it, Pelosi said that it might be better that way, and indicated that she would prefer that it take place under those terms.

But ultimately it will be up to Gerald Nadler and the Judiciary Committee.

[Roland99]

43. Perhaps that allows a faster timeline?

[Hekate]

41. Six (6) committees are hard at work.

What do you make of that, kciN?

[Lulu KC]

58. I believe she said "for now" or words to that effect

Things continue to unfold.
We know she doesn't strike until the iron is hot.

[Takket]

27. add it to the pile................

[uponit7771]

33. "He denied a Democratic motion to speed up the case." ... this is what we're dealing with in ...

... judicial branch right now.

[mysteryowl]

39. This has yet to make it to main news sources, I wonder why?

[kwolf68]

45. Id exercise caution

This could be a setup to divert from the things we know, sorta a false flag operation. Just take it one day at a time. The fascists won't go quietly into that good night.

[NewJeffCT]

49. I don't know - Trump is still vociferously fighting release of his tax returns

but, turned over the whistleblower complaint and the notes of his call really quickly and those were pretty damning

[colsohlibgal]

46. Of Course He Did

He is a sleazy shyster who thinks everything is alright if he does it. He is the living definition of a rich spoiled brat.

[B Stieg]

47. Again, serving himself, not the nation.

IMPEACH then INDICT!

[IronLionZion]

51. Good, more of them should come forward

Pelosi might limit the impeachment inquiry to Ukraine, but these other crimes can take him down on criminal charges later to justify removal from office and hopefully imprisonment.

[bigbrother05]

52. This supports obstruction charges across the board

While in an individual case, they might argue it's within the purview of the office, recurring instances on multiple actions point to a pattern that reinforce each other, i.e. 6 counts of obstruction of Congress (one for each Committee).

[triron]

59. The media doesn't seem to be able to handle covering 2 at the same time.

[Roland99]
