Mcneill sent the letter. we expected president trump and the entire administration to push back and to use delay tactics, after all, that has been his method and just every aspect of his business enterprises to delay, and try to outweigh people on the other side. the negotiating table. i was just grateful, and ultimately the supreme court ruled in this case, in time for us to finish our work before republicans take control. because i dont want to protect what they may do, but my expectation is t...

Stymied by the first and foremost, the irs itself. led by trump appointee, charles, until october of this year. left a few months ago, interesting lee. they then fought a long legal battle that went up to the supreme court. with a lot of can kicking by various judges who delayed, the, lay delayed. and now, on the last working day of the year, with the clock ticking and just days remaining until republicans take back the house, control of the house. we finally have the data, the six years of retu...

Campaign, when that is a standard thing that candidates to. and we should note here that presidents do, it and have been doing it going back decades. its a standard thing, president show, its one important thing for a the sake. i already feel like i have a lot of questions about charles reddick, have-ing learned that the fact that in violation of federal law, his agency had not audited donald trump while he was the head of the irs. do you have some questions for him? >> we do have a lot of quest...

That was just a pretext. turns 0 ut there was something big there that they discovered. >> so, charlie, dysfunction is one thing. could you explain the tenure of charles reddick, a california tax lawyer donald trump appointed to head the irs who recently left the position. maybe it was forced out of the position. whatever. but could you explain his role, his potential role in this, if any? >> so we dont know. we talked last night to the commissioner of the irs in 2017, who was returning the agen...

Well there is a chance that at the director comey or mccabe may have been selected, the fact that both of them were really stands out in terms of it being an extraordinarily rare events. it sends it into the stratosphere in terms of rarity. there may well be legitimate x for nations as far fetched as it may seem. this could be that there are salaries went from private -- that metric or something. the ig at the treasury may be able to figure that out, and determine whether or not that was in fact...

Where he earns between 100 and 200,000 a year. he didnt disclose this when he was nominated. he admitted to be in the person who turned down a congressional request to release trumps taxes that they could look at that for impropriety. at the end of the day, this really smacks it absolutely inappropriate behavior. on the one hand, the irs is acting from the top to shield donald trump from any sort of oversight. congressionally or otherwise. at the same time, theyre going after these people who ar...

Returns. in 2019, the year that mccabe was audited for, there were 8,000 returns that were selected by the irs for this, out of 153 or 154 million returns that were from that year. so these are very, very low numbers. and what i and former irs people that we talked to said, what are the chances that the people on top of trumps enemy list, people who had overseen some of the most controversial decisions in the fbis history, remember a lot of people blamed comey for the election of hillary clinton...

President trump and he had an op-ed that president trump did not have to provide personal tax returns before he was appointed. what do we know about him and any potential role of the selection of these two men to be part of this random audit? >> the irs in response to questions from us says the commissioner plays no role in the selection of this, that he had no discussions with the white house, any white house, about any particular type of audit, or law enforcement matter, so they pretty forcefu...

Allowed him to stay in his position. so when biden came in, he could have replaced pretty much anyone that he wanted in the executive branch. but i think going along with trying to restore some of the norms, he allowed the fbi director to stay in his position, even though trump had appointed him and he allowed commissioner to stay in at the irsz, his team is scheduled to expire toward the end of this year in the fall. so biden could have replaced him but allowed him to stay. >> michael, thank yo...
