The U.S. Department of Justice bars the IRS from conducting any investigation or probes into any past tax declaration of Trump, his family, or any of his companies, for ever.

    How is this even possible? How can an autocratic admin simply except itself from justice? What happened to checks/balances? What happened to “We the people”?

      So I found more articles on it and apparently it is just those tax returns SPECIFICALLY, in the future they can audit different taxreturns

        I had read somewhere that Biden wasn’t going to, but his people convinced him a lot of people who did a lot more woudl be pardoned by Trump just because, so just be with your dang son.

          Also, it was pretty reasonable to expect that with trump on the way in, he might go after hunter just for shits and giggles. It was also perfectly fair to assume that the law and justice were both about to be sidelined.

          I read somewhere that Biden super duper never ever would pardon his own son because “honesty and integrity really mattererd to the DNC” but then he did despite nobody wanting him to.
