IRS Headed by Trump Shills and Associates

IRS chief counsel Michael Desmond. had “briefly advised the Trump Organization on tax issues before Trump took office.” Desmond also worked in private practice with Trump Org tax counsels.....

You must hand it to Trump. He has al his bases covered on keeping his tax returns secret, and on his stonewalling guy running the DOJ and also with the Supreme Court.
And the Democrats bowed in humble obeisance, to Republicans, when Obama AG Loretta Lynch briefly talked with Bill Clinton at an airport, over Republican protests that "Clinton has prejudiced the legal process...!!!"

The related scoop here, that the confirmation of Michael J. Desmond as IRS Chief Counsel was a higher priority than voting on the nomination of William P. Barr as attorney general for Trump.
Suggests to my mind that he cares more about what's in the taxes than he does about anything in the Mueller "witch hunt". That he feels he can spin Mueller accusations but he can't spin the taxes. And that is along the line of permanent brand to him, not just the presidency. Even if he loses the presidency, he still needs his ego with delusional brand and fans of same. As a narcissist, without that, he's nothing, to lose the delusional self-branding of stable billionaire genius of everything in the world--would be the same as death.

Just ran across bias confirmation for my above analysis @ Daily Beast.com
Trump Is Already Plotting His Post-White House Tell-All Memoir 04.05.19
The president is ‘excited’ about penning a dishy book. So much so that he keeps talking about the scores he plans to settle.

Trump may win in 2020.
He trails only Biden, who has too much baggage for the purity angels. Beto, Bernie trail in polls, will be torn apart by Trump. Any woman nominee will be seized on under the microscope by the media, and would lose the electoral college (not popular vote.).
Big media and Wall Street love Trump, he is made for TV, which will be ok until his crew crash the economy. That will be good for TV news eyeball counts, and Wall Street too, they can buy up more assets on the cheap.

Maggie Haberman has posted scanned images of Letter from Trump lawyers to Treasury in 3 tweets and this comment afterward:

Just months ago he said he wanted to revoke Scientology's tax-exempt status. Another flip flop?

This is not a flipflop policy thing, this is: there's the 72 yr.-old boy king and then there's everyone else.

Mulvaney says "never" on the tax returns, on Fox News natch:
by artappraiser on Sun, 04/07/2019 - 1:41pm
"The voters" were +3 million for Hillary.
For Republicans, "policy" talk means attacking Democrats, while they loot the country.

Let's see how many more votes there should have been via the Mueller Report
(not that that was exactly what he investigated)

And Romney (the guy Trump humiliated wit a "pull my finger" parlor gag) calls it "moronic" to try - Trump always wins. Of course the same was said about Avenatti's suit fir Stormy Daniels - "there's an NDA, what can you do?" Turns out a lot.

Could be wrong, but from what I've been reading, seems to me it is more of a slam dunk that House Ways and Means can get the tax returns than Judiciary Comm. can get the Mueller report. So it's likely that Mulvaney's just playing poker, bluffing and stuff, trying that out, seeing what happens, setting up the base, etc.?
We here would probably like it to happen soon. But then, think-- if it goes to the courts, the longer it drags out, the more it could affect Trump re-election campaign. Especially with the swings he needs.

The 2 competing items in my view are
1) Trump's necessary impeachment and how the timing affects 2020,
2) the damage Trump and the GOP are doing now while under attack.
At this point I think it'd be hard to impeach before end of summer no matter what comes out of the Mueller Report and his taxes and whatever other jackass unconstitutional bullshit he pulls in the meantime, so I'm all for just full out supporting whatever brings him down and kind of assume it's going to be hard for the Republicans to rebrand this time, even if they successfully managed that sleight of hand with the Tea Party.
