On The Money: IRS whistleblower said Treasury official might have tried to interfere with Trump audit
The background:
The Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee mentioned in an August court filing that it had received credible allegations from a federal employee.
The employee reported potentially inappropriate attempts to influence the IRS's mandatory audit program for presidential and vice presidential tax returns.
The court filings are part of the Ways and Means Committee's lawsuit to obtain six years of Trump's tax returns, which the panel says is relevant to potential legislation relevant to how the IRS audits presidents.

Key phrase might have!
so you admit it!! IMPEACH!!!!!! reeeeeeeee
While the whistleblower refused to discuss the specifics of the complaint, "I have some legitimate concerns about reckless statements being made about whistleblowers," he told the paper
Those types of comments "attack the messenger when the focus should be on the facts that were presented," the whistleblower added. "I am concerned also by the relative silence of people who should be repudiating these dangerous attacks in the strongest terms."
Got to have the next scandal on deck...just in case the current one fails.

All this "alleged" crap is getting old.
Remember when the media would break real news and not speculation?

Never used the word alleged. Only stated the Verifiable Facts from a middle of the road source.
I, for one would like to know more on this and the Ukrainian issue as well. Whistleblowers are a necessary part of holding government accountable and Congress is the oversight body for the Federal government.
These complaints deserve an honest hearting.

Funny how whistleblowers deserve to be heard, but when a Democrat (Obama) held office they prosecuted whistleblowers with the espionage act, which included journalists. Just another example of the extreme hypocrisy of the left.

Is this "whistler" getting paid out of the same fund
as the other "whistler"?
Like the accusers of Kavanaugh that were lying,
it is hard to trust anonymous sources that are being paid!
