This is some next level #corruption.

"'I am unaware of a single precedent where the #IRS has agreed in advance to permanently forgo examination of previously filed tax returns for a specific person or business,' said Danny Werfel, who was IRS commissioner under former President Joe Biden. 'People expect the same tax rules and enforcement framework to apply to everybody.'"

About that lawsuit —

"Aquilino Gonell, who retired from the Capitol Police after sustaining injuries on Jan. 6 said the litigation was 'shockingly unsurprising.'

"'It took them long enough since they have seen other insurrectionists being rewarded with government jobs, settlements and praises for their violent attempt to overthrow our democracy and elevating them as heroes and villains at the same time.'"

Per the article:

~ "In defending the deal, the Justice Department (DOJ) pointed to a fund established by the Obama admin to compensate Native American farmers who said they had experienced racial discrimination."

#MyThoughts –
Okay, what now? That's a different thing. And a red herring.

Oh good, the article calls it out:

"But that fund was not created with a goal of benefiting allies of the president who’d been previously investigated for potential criminal conduct.”

Those particular rules haven't changed as far as I know, though many still seem to be pending on Georgia's government website (no doubt being fixed up now after Governor Kemp quietly signed the voting rule changes into law on Tuesday). The current rule of how the candidates are listed on the ballots only helps Republicans, so I don't know why it would change at this time.

/2 - Of course it could only help Republicans —

who are listed at the top of #Georgia ballots (except in primaries and special elections) because of an elections rule where the name of the candidate who is of the same party as the current governor is shown at the top.

Voters who haven't researched candidates might just pick the most prominent one at the top of the list.

'Free market' doesn't mean that the president personally promotes business deals...

#MyThoughts

/3 - Strange.

Sure, other presidents (like Reagan) have promoted capitalism in #China and trade with the country, but did they bring an entourage of #business people with them on diplomatic state visits?

And would they have personally invited a giant US #tech company's CEO to accompany them on the trip?

I wonder what deals are being made. And #trump seems to favor some companies over others.
