The justice department quietly added a provision barring the IRS from auditing Donald Trumpās tax returns on Tuesday, amending a widely criticized agreement that creates a secretive and loosely controlled $1.776bn fund to compensate allies of the president.
The addendum, signed by Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, says the government is āforever barredā and āprecludedā from examining the tax returns of Trump, his family, company and ārelated companiesā. The agreement applies to anything filed before the agreement was reached. It was posted on the justice department website on Tuesday morning, a day after the department announced creation of the fund.
How are we letting this become normal? Most of the American public will believe anything just as long as they donāt have to think too much about it.
Because if you try to discuss what needs to be done on the typical means of communication in the 21st century (i.e., fascist-controlled social media), youāll be censored (and possibly referred to the FBI for prosecution as a āterroristā) before you can even begin to get organized.
Normal is what got us here. Itās been a long time coming. Time to start lobbing mortars at the White House when heās in the shower.
