The ease with which Todd Blanche can lie to Representatives' Faces

I'm not a lawyer, but he said (paraphrasing) that it's standard that the IRS has agreements not to investigate individuals or their families.

I wish someone has asked him, " Name one time in US History when the IRS made an agreement not to investigate a president or his family." "In fact, name a time when any elected official and their family was immune from any IRS investigation."

The usual Trump administration tactic. Say something so outrageous and in a tone that makes it sound like a fact that people don’t respond. I don’t get it.

... Republicans have to lie, because only lies can support and defend such a diseased belief system.
Any group that eschews honesty, empathy, and kindness does not deserve to exist. Conservatism has metastasized into a malignant cancer, and should be treated as such. It has polluted and defiled nearly every aspect of life in this country, and the treachery of its adherents must never be forgotten or forgiven. Nothing good will ever come out of conservatism. NOTHING. They conserve nothing but their unearned privilege, and their "right" to attack and demean anyone with the temerity to disagree with them.
Trump's ugly visage is the true face of conservatism now, and they will NEVER live that down.
