'An unambiguous felony': Trump at risk in IRS audit probe

Donald Trump's legal problems may be growing exponentially because there appears to be evidence he attempted to use the IRS to persecute political enemies before he lost re-election.

the former president demanded the IRS look into tax returns filed by, among others, former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Any communications the Secret Service had with the Oath Keepers—a far-right militia group that played a central role in the insurrection—ahead of January 6, 2021 should be made public.

Reports indicate that a Secret Service agent was on multiple phone calls with Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes in days before attack on the Capitol, no records of such calls have been made public

@McMarkerson I've noticed many of the alternatives to the bird seem to be mobile only. I never use social media on a phone. I'm on a computer. Not sure they can compete if they dont allow other ways besides a tiny phone screen.

This article on ZdNet rates CoSo as best alternative to Twitter. #CoSoNews

This is the thing about Twitter that has always bothered me the most. Public, Civic, and Government, entities should NEVER have depended on Twitter. It's not a public service like the Post Office. It's a commercial, for profit company that is virtually 100% unregulated by government.

Only a tiny portion of Americans ever had or used Twitter accounts.

It's high time to realize Twitter is not THE American town hall communication system.
