There is a systemic problem with the Trump administrations - boot licking sycophants everywhere are willing to break the law to suck up their golden god, and Trump is on record encouraging it.
What is it with you and congress? What do you think congress does?
Ready for a civics lesson? Pay attention. The constitution prevents tyranny by instituting a definitive segregation of powers. This allows each branch of government to be a check and balance against the other two. It's a brilliant system, and is probably one of the top 5 ideas mankind has ever had.
So follow me now. The legislative branch makes the laws. The executive branch enforces the law. The IRS works for the executive branch. Congress has no right to be demanding that the IRS do anything. The IRS takes orders from Trump, and that's the way it should be. If it were not that way....it would be hell.
Trump is under no obligation to turn over any personal/business documents without due process. That pesky constitution again...insisting on due process and protecting people's rights against self-incrimination. DAMN that 5th amendment!! And screw the 4th too!!
Explain to me Oskar, why you think it's ok to disregard the constitution, re-arrange the separation of powers, give congress ultimate authority to do everything....all because orange man bad!!!
