If you’re looking for the IRS to go after Trump, the commissioner is a conservative first and a tax collector second. It will take the states to go after the Trumps under state law.

Emoluments? What are those?

The lede:

I, for one, was only halfheartedly expecting the IRS to actually pursue him. More of a pipe dream, I suppose - not knowing the commissioner’s political leanings or direct ties to Trump, just on the general principle that Trump gets away with literally everything. My only expectation with the revelation of his tax fraud is that SOMETHING happens - he tanks with 25% of the popular vote, the audit winds up getting resolved against him and he owes his entire net worth to the IRS, SDNY arrests him in the afternoon on 1/20/21.
