Dan GillmorThe most corrupt president in American history, despite a law requiring IRS audits of sitting presidents, apparently ordered the IRS not to audit him while he held office. This was revealed when Trump's tax returns were released a few days ago, but Big Journalism has almost totally moved on. Here's one reporter who thinks maybe this -- and so much more in Trump's sleazy dealings -- is a problem. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-01-03/trump-s-tax-returns-reveal-murky-global-business-deals
"Extinct" Onceler@dangillmor Independent news organizations should investigate corporate newsrooms for what they didn't bother to properly report or investigate about Trump.
Roger Hammer@dangillmor The article's author Tim O'Brien is starting a new podcast January 10th called Crash Course.
@dangillmor It’s amazing what he has gotten away with, plus the number of people who have taken the fall for him.
Alice@dangillmor and so many more elected gop.
Dr M@dangillmor please provide evidence of this claim. This OPINION piece does not make this claim let alone provide any proof of it
Tofu Golem@dangillmor
But if Republicans face criminal consequences just because they broke the law, that would hurt the feelings of Republicans.
Surely you're not cruel enough to think that saving the republic is more important than the feelings of Republicans. How could anyone be that uncaring?
Won't someone think of their fee fees?
TransitBiker@dangillmor emails from the RNC claim the tax return release was a “dangerous democrat political stunt”. Naw dude, you hiding shit is the dangerous political stunt.
Argot_Robbie@dangillmor @CRSG If a President Hillary Clinton had done this, NYT would be closing multiple bureaus and reassigning journalists to the Clinton IRS Scandal beat.
Beanie MacIntosh@dangillmor I m still shocked that grabbing women by the pussy is acceptable behaviour in a leader in the US. Weird
LeaBug@dangillmor if there's a law and it wasn't enforced then why wasn't it and who needs to go to jail?
@dangillmor If he didn’t want his dodgy finances looked into he shouldn’t have become president
CurlingWhisper@dangillmor in addition to keeping IRS from auditing him, DJT also kept security forces from protecting the Capitol building. No big investigation there, either.
Roz Derors@dangillmor need checks and balances on the Inspector general’s. Or better Presidents.

So the oft mentioned reason of his tax return being audited was an even more blatent lie than the obvious lie.
And he's still free.

Ove_@dangillmor when did reporters stop trying to “tell news” and just become stenographers? Thank you for your work.
Gen X-Wing@dangillmor We should ask ourselves if the democrats would allow Biden to act like this. Trump isn’t the cause, he doesn’t wield this power. GOP does, and media is either with them or too kind to them.
