There is a possibility that Donald Trump could find himself in even more legal trouble, possibly
facing very serious federal criminal charges for something that has absolutely nothing
to do with January 6th or the 2020 election at all.
And of course, I'm talking about the, uh, scandal that was revealed last week, the IRS
scandal, where Donald Trump's political enemies, including James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and
Michael Cohen were all on the receiving end of very rare forms of IRS audits that only
happened to, uh, well, in Comey's case about 8,000 people a year McKay about 30,000 people
a year.
So very rare.
It's like being struck by lightning the day after you got struck by lightning, after you
had just been struck by lightning, that's about how rare this would be.
And we're not talking about your average run of the mill audits, where you have to go into
your local IRS office, go over your numbers.
And then they say, okay, thank you.
We're good to go by now, these audits, according to the reports, uh, force individuals to produce
bank records, copies of checks, receipts, and letters effectively recreating their finances
for the year.
In question, the process takes months and often costs thousands of dollars in accountants
fees.
So again, not simple audits, these are very intense, very involved.
They want every document you've ever had with regard to your finances for whatever year
they're auditing you for.
So where does Donald Trump come in his handpicked appointee to run the IRS?
Char Charles Reig is the guy at the center of this scandal.
And of course the inspector General's office has announced that they're going to, uh, you
know, be investigating this.
So maybe we'll get answers.
Inspector general investigations usually are garbage anyway, but redig is the guy that
Trump put in power to run the IRS.
Redig claims that he, of course doesn't control any of the audits that's done by the career
civil servants, right?
You know, the, the underlings, basically the other ones who pick these people, I got nothing
to do with this.
Fair enough, right?
Maybe we'll fare that out during the investigation, but Harvard law professor and legal experts,
excuse me, Lawrence tribe had this to say about the whole thing.
He said, there's no coincidence for sure.
Odds are 30,000 to one.
This kind of political targeting is a serious federal crime.
The question is who committed the serious federal crime, if a serious federal crime
was in fact committed.
Now, obviously all fingers right now, wanna point to Donald Trump, right?
He's the, obviously the most obvious guy via guy, but could we prove that in order to pin
any of this on Donald Trump, you would have to be able to
Show that Donald Trump specifically directed redig to direct his underlings, to audit these
individuals, to make their lives miserable, which means you'd have to have it in writing.
You'd have to have a text message in email, a DM, whatever it is, you've gotta have that
hardcore smoking gun evidence in order to link Donald Trump to any of this.
If you do not have that, if you only have witnesses saying, oh, well, I heard him say
to do that.
I'm not gonna cut it in a criminal trial.
It's simply not.
You've gotta have again, that hardcore smoking gun evidence.
And I don't know that it's going to exist here.
That's the problem.
Like I seriously doubt Donald Trump wrote down, Hey, redig please go audit McCabe, Comey.
And Cohen probably didn't happen if it did happen.
It was probably a verbal communication.
In which case we can't prove that in court.
I say, we like, I'm a lawyer.
I'm not a lawyer.
And I'm certainly not even gonna be working on this case.
But anyway, then of course you have Redding himself.
Now, if he directed any of his underlings to do these audits, then yeah, you've got
him stone cold retic, by the way, is still actually in charge of the IRS.
Not, not sure why, why Biden hasn't done anything to, you know, correct that, but he's still
there.
But again, if there is that smoking gun evidence, then yeah, this is serious federal crime.
This is abuse power.
This is all sorts of different things that you could hit Donald Trump for.
But that's a big if, while I think personally my opinion did Trump probably order this.
Yeah, he probably did, but would we ever be able to prove it?
Unfortunately, I seriously doubt it.
