I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

(Which also underscores the absurdity of Trump’s nonsensical “I can’t release my tax returns because I’m being audited” excuse. EVERY president is ALWAYS being audited. Didn’t stop anyone else.)

2020 issue: COVID cases. To see fewer COVID positive results, "slow down the testing". 2026 issue: Trump corruption. To see less corruption, don't audit the taxes of anyone in the Trump crime syndicate. This is how the felon in chief "solves" problems.

Donald Trump and sons granted ‘forever’ immunity from existing tax audits. https://www.ft.com/content/57334fae-a475-4ab0-a202-8df3766927e4?syn-25a6b1a6=1

I assume this is related to Agnew's corruption?
