No. Even this is illegal. There's specific legislation about this, which explicitly covers the president. The president is not allowed to tell anybody at the IRS to investigate any individual person or organization.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoI would love for you to be right. Can you point me to the ruling/precedent/statute that covers this?
- boroboro4 2y agoIt's 26 USC § 7217: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/7217 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/7217. However with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States ruling it is, I guess, unprosecutable?
