Remember the IRS whistleblower who alleged that a political appointee at Treasury may have tried to interfere in the audit of Trump's tax returns that's required by law?

The Senate finance committee is probing the matter and met with the whistleblower.
washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
Remember, the Ukraine complaint is one of at least three credible, alarming whistleblower complaints facing Trump right now.
In addition to Ukraine and the IRS complaint, there's also the complaint that alleges Ivanka and Jared got their security clearances despite objections from career national security officials who raised concerns and urged they be denied reuters.com/article/us-usa…

Trump claims that he just wants to fight corruption, but:

1. The Trump admin has repeatedly tried to slash funding for anti-corruption programs

2. Trump routinely praises corrupt authoritarians

3. Trump's myriad personal conflicts of interest exist
washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/1…
Trump's sincere concern for fighting corruption in Ukraine is clearly illustrated by his administration's repeated efforts to slash funding for anti-corruption programs in Ukraine
To close the loop here, Trump went on TV this morning and raised a debunked conspiracy theory, claiming he brought it up with Zelenskiy because he's "looking for corruption."

"Corruption" here is synonymous with "dirt that helps me"

"I shared concerns of the potential quid pro quo regarding security aid with Senator Ron Johnson"

I've been saying "Insane in the Ukraine" in my head all day to the tune of Insane in the Membrane.

I'm sorry, but I need you all to be infected with this madness too.
Once you repeat it like a thousand times, then you can add "Use Ukraine for my campaign" for the "I'm insane got no brain" part
And listen, I know it's not "*the* Ukraine," but my insanity doesn't care.

Newly uncovered tax documents show Trump kept '2 sets of books' and may have committed financial fraud

Sonam Sheth Oct 16, 2019, 2:24 PM
Newly uncovered tax documents from President Donald Trump contain several discrepancies that real-estate experts said could point to financial fraud, ProPublica reported on Wednesday.
The documents obtained by ProPublica were part of records for four Trump properties in New York City: Trump International Hotel and Tower, 40 Wall Street, Trump Tower, and 1290 Avenue of the Americas.

THREAD is Cyrus Vance, Jr. and what is he trying to do to Donald #Trump?
/2 Cy Vance, Jr is the son of Cyrus Vance ... big shoes to fill ... and was SOS under the Jimmy Carter administration.
3/ He resigned over Operation Eagle Claw, which was a mission to free the Iran Hostages in 1980. The events of that aborted mission ultimately leased to needed change within the military in helicopter training, etc, but I digress.

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:

The DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel released their opinion about the Treasury's refusal to turn over President #Trump's tax returns and they, as expected, agreed with the Treasury.

They do NOT have to turn them over.
They stated that Congress does not have the right to make the Executive Branch provide confidential information without a legitimate legislative purpose.
Democrats can thank themselves and Rep Richard Neal from the House Committee on Ways and Means because they and Rep Neal campaigned on "making Trump's taxes public," which was proof that Democrats were trying to abuse their positions and weaponize his taxes for campaign purposes.

Senate Finance Committee (chaired by Grassley) is now investigating meetings between #Obama admin officials Nathan Sheets & Stanley Fischer and Russian agents #MariaButina and Alexander Torshin that were arranged by the Center for the National Interest.

#ButNothingsHappening
Here's a previous thread I did on Nathan Sheets

In April 2018, the #Trump administration/US Treasury sanctioned Alexander Torshin for "worldwide malign activity."

BREAKING: President Trump learned within the last 24 hours that Robert Mueller would like to ask questions both orally and written for the President to respond to issues surrounding obstruction of justice.

I guess we now know what set Trump off this morning.
Regardless of what Trump does at this point, fire Mueller, dont fire Mueller there is already a dead man's switch that will spring into action should Trump take the additional step in his ongoing obstruction of justice and actually fire him. Furthermore:
Trump has shown his hand and it is weak. While some Trump supporters, especially the QAnon contingent, will believe him no matter what anyone says, no matter how nonsensical/inconstant his lies might be, eventually enough GOP lawmakers will turn on Trump
