IRS Whistleblower: Political Taint In Trump Or Mike Pence Audits: WaPo | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
whistleblowers are coming forward… will start slowly and then the dam will crack. Trump has violated our country for too long
@Stephanie Davis
No, you blindly follow a serial liar.
@Raven Stark Actually I’m not. I question everything. Did you know the media can legally lie to us? So why would I believe anything they say? They constantly bash Trump. That’s what propaganda tends to look like. Hillary’s favorite book dedicated to Lucifer was rules for radicals.
@Dee Jeff lol YUP !
Exactly, speaking of which…

I knew it! The Grand Wizard is a reckless gambler and a jerk. The people who are around him love him more than … the country!!!
Tessmage Tessera They are in spin class working on new talking points.
@Sussi Ah Overbloated stock market and tariffs, sounds like the roaring 1920s or more specifically 1929.
The Grand Wizard! LMAO!!!
Andrew L PickfordIII Trump has became a Demigod !
I heard about this quite a while back! But somehow it was hidden! About time it has come out and I hope something is done about it and investigated more! This is a big deal! Trump is so corrupt! It’s embarrassing humiliating and illegal!
@Hazel McCloy source please! You do know what a source is Right? That means a name and face behind any allegation, thats a source
https://old.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/daj5zw/biden_kerry_heinz_and_archer_timeline/ This what a source means! Now what sourced info about DT do you have?
@SNFU Reddit isn’t a source, fucknugget. Get killed.
Hopefully, this means that the smarmy Mnuchin is gonna be bunkin’ with Bubba.
@Noah Bodie why anyone would back these swamp creatures that are getting rich off their hard earned tax dollars is insane. Yet they are lied too daily from propaganda outlets with absolutely no source face behind any claims. Here’s truth, sourced journalism.https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/daj5zw/biden_kerry_heinz_and_archer_timeline/
@mary jones why dont you seek truth and justice for our country
@SouthSide Chicago Too funny…a trumpturd talking about “Facts”. ‘Facts’ don’t matter in trump’s kingdom silly boy! Where in vegas should I go place a bet…trump casino?? Oh right…that didn’t work out so well for the con in chief did it?
Strangely i go back a week ago when Trump snubbed Greta Thunberg at the UN and she glared at him, like she was focusing the entire crux of all that we hate about him right into him… the next day the first whistleblower thing exploded… May be proof that you do not F with mother nature!!
Greta is a force of nature 🙂
You don’t mess with Scandinavian women. Ask tiger woods. 😁🇧🇻
Intimidated by a teenager….that tells us just what a moron he is
@Harald Christiansen Yeah they are Vikings, they don´t take crap – As for Tiger, it was around 180 millions Dollars smacking she gave him 😀
@Mum MoniQ first hand knowledge here, my mother was a warrior. Twin sisters too. Made me the man I am today. 🤫😁
Anyone going against the law to cover up trumps taxes….to cover up his financial crimes…is complicit to treason and should be jailed with trump.

what is disturbing to me as an aussie is the number of public servants, department secretaries, members of white house career staff etc who actively enable trumps illegal behaviour and defend him thus destroying their reputations and their own futures.
@HalfCrazy520 Maybe you need a new party, there!! Like when the corrupt Christ Democrats of Italy disappeared!!!!!
@Phillup Brinkman True, but you need a revival ! US is after all a Democracy and you do have freedom of speech, and lots of engaged citizens by now, I do not count the MAGA´S, and now every American knows the power of a “whistle blower”, the next president will surround him or herself with better people, and probably treat their co workers better than these bunch of Clowns!! You will come out stronger from this, and Americans are tough and positive people, and You have a task ahead of you, to apologize to the world and your allies, the world is so tired of this clown, so everyone will be happy to have gotten rid of him and his cult !
@Maharajji NKB It’s not enough my friend just to call the truth a turn around!
To proclaim that the so called imaginary deepstate, MSM and the Dems are guilty of the very thing that Trump is guilty of is just a FALSEHOOD!
Sure you are entitled to your opinion but the Kool Aid is the very elixer that you drink!
You deny the truth about Trump, you live in alternative reality and yet to justify it you claim that it is the truth that is an alternative reality!
It would be more productive from your point of view to use hard fact to debunk your opponants but instead you just make the existing facts about Trump into so called “Fake News”
I should feel sorry for you but if you want to be a part of a cult alternative reality, then that is your perogative!
@Cassidy Smith 0… He didnt even worked so stfu
the American tryrant will try and get the DOJ to obstruct…
Plural please: American tyrants. Its not just Trump, Pence and every single one in line in the Grand Old Pedophiles PArty are wannabe Mafia and Hitler dictators aka tyrants.
Godless Best,

The Tangelo Tinted Taint Tumor….. There fixed it for ya….
p boat He probably will but Barr is in enough trouble as it is. The more he does for Trump, the more likely he’ll end up behind bars.
@Antony Stringfellow That is my thinking as well.
nixon was a kid that stole hubcaps compared to this CROOK.
@cyanleopard Poor kid. I feel bad for you, so ignorant and you don’t realize what’s going on around you. Melania might run in 2028 after her husband serves his 8 years. If not Melania, they will have some woman. Everyone in America knows crooked hillary failed because she was caught red-handed lying and failed. Warren has ZERO chance and even most democrats know this. Just remember that Trump is YOUR President, and there’s nothing that will stop him from winning again, not even impeachment attempt #3, which will happen after this hoax is debunked lol.
SouthSide Chicago so when you get back on your meds and you start to see what really is going on around you don’t cry too much.
Trump has nothing to run on in 2020. His foreign policies is a disaster. The Middle East is on fire, North Korea is a bigger threat to this country now then its ever been, and China is about to run the world economy into the ground. Trump is a dumpster fire and everyone can see it but his cultists. Trump will not be president in 2020. You’re a delusional little boy.
@cyanleopard No no honey. You it all wrong. YOU are the one on medication LMAO. It’s obvious. So do yourself a favor, stand up, go into the bathroom, and take your meds. Everything you just said is a lie and can be proven if you just look at the statistics. All you do is express your feelings, and guess what? Facts don’t care about your little feelings darlin. If you don’t think Trump will win the 2020 election then put your money where your dirty mouth is. Bet on it! You won’t lmao.
SouthSide Chicago what a sad pathetic little child you are.
With respect ,they were very different crooks. Nixon for all his awful flaws was an American patriot . He was dishonest and conniving but he wasn’t a two faced coward or a racist.
The sound of whistles was never quite so soothing
@EricSmokeTheTires
He was holding up 400 million in aid until he got confirmation on the favor he asked for. That’s extortion.
Lynn Johnson but Eric knows Don so well, they’re like best friends and they’d never keep secrets from each other. If anyone knows if trump is doing illegal things or not it’s our friend Eric here on YouTube.
@Lotus Auer
Maybe he could try and ask trump to loan him some money since they are such good friends and all
@Lynn Johnson If that was the case then you are also saying that the President of Ukraine is also in on the corruption because he would have had to go along with it. If that was the case all the President of Ukraine would have to do is contact the United States media and others and tell them that Trump was doing that. That’s not what is going on though. So like I said nothing illegal is going on.
@EricSmokeTheTires
That really just sounds like a lot of mental gymnastics. This is not a joke. While trump held up that aid money 50 Ukrainian soldiers died fighting russian Invaders. Congress had approved that aid package months before, it might of saved some lives.
Quote: – ‘Taxes are for Suckers’…Al Capone…I would hazard at a guess that 45 thinks the same way as he treats everybody as SUCKERS
@Margot Stewart He is paying now!!! For his sins!!!

RUSSIAN SALAD DRESSING
Except Carlson is NOT a journalist….just a talking head that speculates. BIG DIFFERENCE!
We know he does. He said so.
Goodness me. Trump corrupts everything and everyone he touches.
@David McCarron I know i know. $150+m in 8 days raised from small donors, yeah he’s slowly dying alright. Don’t worry, OUR President will be just fine. I hope the democrats keep this up, all they are doing is pushing people away from the left. Nobody wants to be a part of losers that feel the need to lie and make up hoax after hoax that are all proven to be wrong. I’m happy with being on the side where we focus on America’s issues, and making this country great again.
@SouthSide Chicago I would agree but the Ukraine debacle is the one he’s not happy about. He’s in trouble. New York will indict him for fraud. Billions of dollars illegally obtained. Purported unsavory sexual attention towards his own daughter. Lashes out at people seeking the truth. Trump isn’t what this country needs. I prefer moderates, I don’t care what side of the aisle they come from. Quality, intelligence, and knowledge. That’s a president. Maybe not yours.
@David McCarron lmao i get it. You’re confused and angry. Just let it go and stop listening to the media.
@SouthSide Chicago What media? I’ve stopped watching NBC,MSNBC,FOX,CNN. I watch a lot of what Trump says to the public. I’m telling you friend. He has massive issues. He needs professional help. He’s crumbling. Don’t support his lies, and treasonous path to destruction. Back away slowly. Please! Good health my friend!

Trump said he´d drain the Swamp ! Sure, he is “the Swamp Thang” and “the Monster in the black Lagoon”, personified !!
*If Trump drained the swamp, he’d be homeless!*
Its ironic.. If Trump goes down and stays true to form he will throw his supporters under the bus for failing to save him.. Thus draining the swamp and actually fulfilling one of his campaign promises. I hope y’all liberals do this right so the conservative party can have four to eight years to try to purge the racists, incels and edgelords.
Sounds like July 2019 was QUITE the month, even by Trump-level-corruption standards!!
Impeach. Indict. Incarcerate!
@Raven Games You for to list obstruction 9 more times…
@Da Choppah collusion obstruction asking for dirt on a political opponent from a foreign country which he did on national TV
I have a feeling this will be the “straw that breaks the camels back” cause all people dislike paying taxes, and when someone doesn’t pay their fair share, that angers the voters.
Nah, Republicans only get angry when poor people don’t pay taxes.
@Greasyspleen It is your choice to be poor. Just look at Eminem for example he was poor and now he is rich or Richard Montanez he was poor and now he is rich. You are just hating on people that worked hard and are successful. Moral of the story is don’t be poor.
@EricSmokeTheTires I’m not poor, but thanks for confirming what I said.
You’d think, but it won’t upset his cult. They’ll like him more for ripping them off.
Trump: Russher, if you’re listening…
Abraham Lincoln: Hold my beer.
The US lecturing Ukraine about corruption. That’s rich…
lecturing Biden also, all he ever does is project
@saddleupbike yeah, all his children have done these few years is profit from their dad twisting the arms of other countries.
Trump blew the whistle on himself like 3 times in the past 24 hours, lmao!
I am legit confused how his mindless followers cant understand this.
The corruption never ends. The whole administration needs to go. This is just insane.
Twitter later: “It was a perfect tax return!”
Phone later: “Rudy who do i blame this one on! Should i say the dems asked the IRS for a favor??”
