The IRS "whistleblower" is a "career IRS official", the complaint is already "circulating on Capitol HIll", a federal judge has been flagged, "multiple people" are familiar with the document. Complaint received in July.

Where have I heard this before?
The whistleblower handed in his complaint to the Treasury Department Tax Inspector General For Tax Administration on July 29, 2019.

The whistleblower was interviewed at some point this week, not necessarily today.

washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
"The Post has been unable to verify the allegation in the whistleblower’s complaint of improper communication between Treasury and IRS on the tax audit program. "

Oh.

washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
Deputy Inspector General James Jackson said "we are not aware of any misconduct" back in September.

washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
"I'm not politically motivated" says man who interviewed with The Washington Post to make his complaint a lot more public while also decrying Trump's recent comments about the Ukraine "whistleblower".

washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
August 21, 2019.

"Dems cite whistleblower claim of possible improper 'influence' in Trump tax audit"

nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
So on July 2, 2019, the House Ways and Means Committee sued the IRS and the Treasury Department for access to Trump's tax returns, and then on July 29, the IRS whistleblower files a complaint.

nytimes.com/2019/07/02/us/…

politico.com/story/2019/08/…
"Section 6103(f)(5) is a whistleblower exception to the general rule of nondisclosure. It permits disclosure of tax returns to one of the tax-writing committees by 'any person who otherwise has or had access to any return or return information under this section..."
"... when that person believes that 'such return or return information may relate to possible misconduct, maladministration, or taxpayer abuse.'"

Huh, Section 6103(f)(5) really is a thing, it's right there.

Gee, I wonder why the whistleblower stepped up all of a sudden.

In order to combat the dangerous Impeachment Task Force, a team so powerful that it has me quaking in my boots, I have decided to form...

THE LEGION OF BLUMPF

Together, we must conquer the world- I mean, fight back against these heroes- I mean, these villains!
We can, and we must, stop the Impeachment Task Force with everything we have!

If they want us to be the villains, then the villains we must be! But we know we are the heroes!

Myself and Comrade K. J. M. Fudge will lead the charge against these nefarious evildoers!
HEROES like Superman and The Punisher hide behind aliases and so do we!

Villains like Lex Luthor and Thanos don't!

The difference between the Legion of Blumpf and the Impeachment Task Force has never been clearer!

So the Impeachment Task Force has the following on its team:

* Tom Arnold
* Debra Messing
* Alyssa Milano
* Rosie O'Donnell
* Ron Perlman
* George Takei

The website for this effort will launch next week.

Tom Arnold was responsible for hosting and creating "The Hunt For the Trump Tapes", which he never found and then the series was cancelled.
Debra Messing is a fan of blacklists.

Outstanding.

Guess Burisma should be added to my FTI Consulting list of connections.

ML Strategies LLC lobbied the United States Government on behalf of Burisma, which lasted from May 20, 2014 to April 19, 2016.

Buckle up here they come with a new so called Whistleblower

washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
An IRS official has filed a whistleblower complaint reporting that "he was told" at least one Treasury Dept political appointee attempted to improperly interfere with the annual audit of the president or vice president's tax returns, according to multiple people familiar with it.
White House officials dismissed the whistleblower's complaint as flimsy because it is based on conversations with other government officials. But congressional Democrats were alarmed by the complaint, now circulating on Capitol Hill, and flagged it to a federal judge.

1/16 It has begun. The GOP is spinning that the sole transcript Trump says he will release is more important than the #WhistleblowerComplaint as a tactic to insist everything should ride on this one supposed piece of evidence.

#ImpeachTrump #ImpeachmentParty #UkraineTranscript
2/16 All reports indicate this was a months-long conspiracy Trump and Giuliani were engaged in, subverting & bypassing officials who tried to stop them.

A single call does not BEGIN to give an accurate depiction of the events that lead up to this. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
3/16 And Trump already has a shady history with releasing information.

Forget the obvious like his tax returns, school grades, and secret meetings with Putin.

Actually, a reminder of those secret meetings:

Federal judge is not buying Michael Avenatti's argument that it's inconvenient to be tried on Indictment No. 3 in SDNY given he's already got Indictment No. 2 there.
Federal judge REALLY REALLY not buying the "basically the cases are the same" argument and you maybe shouldn't have gotten him started on it frankly
Never follow a federal judge to a footnote.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (25 – 31 August)

1. Time for another dose of the real news that the legacy media continually sweep under the rug because it doesn’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. Speaking of the legacy media, let’s start off with a look at all the former Obama regime CIA and FBI officials now working at CNN and MSNBC:

<quote>
2A. CNN added to its deep roster of former FBI and CIA officials-turned-analysts Friday with the hiring of Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director fired for lack of candor during an investigation last year.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
