He didn't. He was responding to Trump's claims that Trump was targeted for an audit. But, he responded with a generic explanation of an audit, and nothing about Trump's specific audit.
And, he didn't use the terms "liar" or "suspicious". That was a fabrication by the author of the article.
The original poster put up this article with no context. Unless you go read the full article AND search for other articles that accurately quote the IRS chief, you can be easily duped into believing that's what he said.
That's exactly what the original author intended, and you fell for it. Don't feel bad, because you weren't the only one. But, maybe the original poster will now understand why I pointed out how her posting perpetuated the attack on Trump.
I understand your point. I don’t feel bad for expecting people to read the article and watch the, supposedly, supporting video and figuring out what they should already know; you can’t blindly trust 1. just the title, 2. journalists.
I haven’t seen any comments here that were attacks on Trump. Most people, who you can tell haven’t read the article, are commenting on the untrustworthiness of Koskinen.
