A top Democratic senator said Wednesday he fears the IRS may be too biased to handle the audit of President Trump’s taxes, saying the fact that the agency is led by an acting commissioner who is also a top Trump political appointee at the main Treasury Department is worrisome.
Sen. Ron Wyden, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said an agency already roiled by problems of political taint stemming from the tea party targeting needs to be extra careful to avoid conflicts now.
“Yet, we now face a situation where the acting IRS commissioner is concurrently one of the president’s principle tax advisors,” Mr. Wyden wrote in a letter to David Kautter, the man in question.

Unlike Wyden and many Dems, President Trump and people he appoints have priciples.
The IRS was Zero’s personal servant.
I vividly remember the concern and outrage expressed by Sen. Wyden over the tarmac meeting between AG Lynch and Billy-boy Clintoon.
Oh . . . wait . . .
So, who would the democrat choose, Pelosi? Or some other fair-minded tyrant?
Since Congress willingly allowed Obama to weaponize the IRS, its only fair that Trump have his turn at having the IRS do whatever he asks of them.
Hey jackass, wasn’t the IRS tainted by Koskinen and Lerner when your guy was in the White House?
Sorta like the FBI under Obama, Senator?
Unlike audits of conservative PACs that were totally non-partisan during Mullah Obama's reign.
I remember the Democrats screaming about Reagan’s “BLOATED TAX CUT!” years ago.
These pathetic Dems have to lay awake at night trying to figure out what their next lie will be to denigrate President Trump.
Once again, a Democrat charging our side with something that didn’t happen, with something that has clearly happened under them.
This is a constant dynamic with Leftists.
Sorry for the language but Liberals are total dick heads.
I know, let’s get Lois Lerner to perform the audit.
If the IRS is tainted by the presence of anyone associated with Trump, isn’t the Mueller investigation tainted by all the Hillary people it’s stuffed with?
Right on.
I can’t remember another president that’s been so maligned in my lifetime and I remember back to Ike.
Okay, Ron.
Want to remove any suspicion of impropriety by a “Trump IRS?”
How about we have the IRS audit every single member of congress, every single member of the federal court, every executive branch official, and all of their immediate family members, from the day they were born, until the day they die?
If Ron won’t agree to that, then he’s just another POS socialist-democrat troll looking to score a hit.
Pure BS by a half wit moron demosuck.
Wyden offers further proof that liberalism is a mental disorder. He wouldn’t recognize the truth if it bit him in the butt. Wyden was telling everyone that Obama’s “keep your doctor-keep your plan-save $2500 on medical insurance” were all lies. Then I woke up and knew I had been dreaming.
Wyden— ya mean, like how Muller and Comey were in the tank for Hillary, and were charged with investigating her?
