. johnson picked up where kennedy left off and took it further. he use the irs against his political opponents and used the fbi. that johnson actually had hubert humphrey's phone tapped running for president of the united states because he was concerned what hubert humphrey would say about the vietnam war. johnson had the goldwater campaign tapped. the fbi an atlantic city convention monitoring his opponents. getting regular feedback from j edgar hoover. although i'm disgusted i'm not surprised that the democrats in the house have learned a lot from fdr, john kennedy, it and johnson because they want to see trumps tax returns. they don't control the executive branch but they control the house. we have a chairman of the committee elijah cummings. he has sent a letter to the chairman and ceo of the accounting firm of the president. who handled his businesses among everything - - other things so to assist our review by the way we have the irs that is not the job of the democrats of the house. with respect to donald j. trump the trust the trump organization llc, the trump corporation dj
