If you believe these pardons that have been coming out for the magat criminal tax evaders, is no big deal, here the deal.
These folks are not just evaders, they are money launders, bank thieves, bribery takers, SS thieves and in some cases, violent criminals.
Only the best. MFers. IRS is pissed!

There have been ads by "Stand for Texas" that have been running Rep Wesley Hunt ads asking people in the DFW local TV area to "call and thank Wesley Hunt for standing by Trump." Hunt represents a district that is just outside of Houston. 😐

It was a declaration of war against the American people, a demand for our surrender. Some cowards in law, academia and business have submitted. Many of us never will.
