This one will be interesting. Unlike the other departments, the IRS and the SEC are used to working with hostile partners.
Except this time...
And, Trump is generally known to be a tax cheat, and the Democrats have been funding the IRS where the Republicans including Trump have been starving and attacking it. I have no idea but you are correct that it could be interesting.
You're dreaming if you think any of that is going to matter.
It’ll definitely matter for how things go down. Whether it will, in the medium-term, make a difference or prevent the IRS from being weaponized against anyone who displeases Trump or his successor is uncertain, and seems a little unlikely, true.
