Washington Post: IRS whistleblower said to report Treasury political appointee might have tried to interfere in audit of Trump or Pence
An Internal Revenue Service official has filed a whistleblower complaint reporting that he was told at least one Treasury Department political appointee attempted to improperly interfere with the annual audit of the president or vice president’s tax returns, according to multiple people familiar with the document.
Trump administration officials dismissed the whistleblower’s complaint as flimsy because it is based on conversations with other government officials. But congressional Democrats were alarmed by the complaint, now circulating on Capitol Hill, and flagged it to a federal judge. They are also discussing whether to make it public.

WNU editor: I heard from someone and/or I heard from someone who heard from someone else that a political appointee tried to improperly interfere with the annual audit of the president or vice president’s tax returns is in my book a flimsy reason to launch a massive investigation. If hearsay is now good enough to launch an investigation, be prepared for a massive flood of complaints.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
These new standards for whistleblowers are nothing more than a way to tie up the Trump government being that they just established these.
Two can play this game and I would do it to such an extreme that every kid in kindergarten and above will line up to testify against the dimz.
Like the printed media has faded in people's eyes, so have the politicians of the country.
WNU,
They did the same to Sara Palin. As soon as she was announced as a VP candidate in 2008, she was deluged with lawsuits. This is just more of the same. They figured that impeachment due to the Mueller Report would work, so they did not waste effort with Lawfare.
Sad thing is that the more time politicians spend with lawfare learning how to politically shiv their opponents or people within other factions of their own party, the less worldly they will be and America will be poorly served. IMO it is for this reason these partisan hacks must be served with prison sentences, censure and ostracism.
