IRS whistleblower case advances as Senate staff looks at whether political appointee meddled with audit of Trump or Pence
Two senators are looking into a whistleblower’s allegations that at least one political appointee at the Treasury Department may have tried to interfere with an audit of President Trump or Vice President Pence, according to two people with knowledge of the matter, a sign that lawmakers are moving to investigate the complaint lodged by a senior staffer at the Internal Revenue Service.
Staff members for Sens. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Wyden (Ore.), the chairman and ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, met with the IRS whistleblower earlier this month, those people said. Follow-up interviews are expected to further explore the whistleblower’s allegations.
It could not be learned to what extent the senators consider the whistleblower a credible source. Trump administration officials have previously played down the complaint’s significance and suggested that it is politically motivated.

Another whistleblower.
Thankfully everyone isn't on board with whatever this fascist leader does

I don’t think I like this new “whistleblower” culture. Everyone’s always telling on everyone else. What happened to loyalty and minding your own beeswax? When I was growing up and one of us kids tried tattling on another, Mother would always say “snitches get stitches,” and that’s the child who got in trouble.

I’m just talking about whistleblowers in general.

This is interesting, but it’s not clear what the whistleblower’s complaint was. Was the official trying to stop the audit?

Someone should've stitched up "Mother's" snatch so you wouldn't be here!

Your mother would tell little kids that "snitches get stitches," i.e. they would get shot or knifed or something for tattling, and they would deserve it?

My mother said, "Always tell the truth." Were you born in the maternity wing of a prison?
