believe when we see. – Editorial

NEW YORK TIMES
— The Trump Impeachment Inquiry: Latest Updates (DIERSEN: Have you ever been
“under investigation?” To get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors
had me “under investigation” 1974-1977. SEE GAO DECISION: http://www.gao.gov/products/463866 During
the 1970s, IRS purposely kept its definition of “commuting area” vague so that
it could use it to punish or to reward its employees. When my IRS Democrat
superiors succeeded in getting rid of the IRS manager who had promoted me in
1972, 1973, and 1974, they used a narrow definition of “commuting area” to
disallow my partial day per diem claims. They hinted/implied/argued that my
partial day per diem claims were fraudulent. Needless-to-say, that ended my IRS
career. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a
female, or a veteran.)
