The biggest political criminal in US History

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed a broadly worded addendum that appears to end the president’s long-running disputes with the IRS.

Get a load of this:


"However, a one-page document posted on the DOJ website early Tuesday includes a sweeping release under which the IRS is “forever barred and precluded” from pursuing “examinations” of Trump, “related or affiliated individuals,” and related trusts and businesses."

Since "acting" means he is temporary and not approved by the Senate.

All the more reason why he should not be making sweeping rulings

Hey Joe
