Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

The other two EO's would take aim at individual large donors and charitable organizations.

It is only speculation but these EO's may name:

Ford Foundation
Bloomberg Philanthropies
Gates Foundation
Open Society / Soros

+ other individuals admin sees as key progressive donors.

1. I wonder if we will hear a parsing of "taxpayer" since

Nonprofits don’t pay taxes.

2. Didnt Trump ask the IRS or order someone in his administration to look into someone's taxes during his 1st term?

I seem to recall that coming out in one of the many books that were written about his 1st administration.
