Exclusive: Mueller Enlists the IRS for His Trump-Russia Investigation

Special counsel Bob Mueller has teamed up with the IRS. According to sources familiar with his investigation into alleged Russian election interference, his probe has enlisted the help of agents from the IRS’ Criminal Investigations unit.
This unit—known as CI—is one of the federal government’s most tight-knit, specialized, and secretive investigative entities. Its 2,500 agents focus exclusively on financial crime, including tax evasion and money laundering. A former colleague of Mueller’s said he always liked working with IRS’ special agents, especially when he was a U.S. Attorney.
And it goes without saying that the IRS has access to Trump’s tax returns—documents that the president has long resisted releasing to the public.
Potential financial crimes are a central part of Mueller’s probe. One of his top deputies, Andy Weissmann, formerly helmed the Justice Department’s Enron probe and has extensive experience working with investigative agents from the IRS.

psych! 
what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine. Gee, it seems I could go on and on
There are so many revelations one after another I can't keep up! 
I'm not getting much sleep tonight, I can tell already.
...Mueller replied "I'm already THERE."
This is probably Trump's worst fear. He expected a sort of immunity, and invincibility, in running for office. Instead, things are happening that never would have happened if he'd kept his bloated orange backside in the Apprentice boardroom chair.
I read it the first time, then I went back and re-read it, and it kept getting funnier. Touche.
“The fact that there is not a senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division, and that the Trump people have disregarded it despite warnings as far back as December that they needed to fill the AAG’s spot… shows what a self-created mess the Trump administration has found itself in,” said the former prosecutor, who requested anonymity to speak candidly. “They have no one to keep Mueller and his Brooklyn team honest. They should be concerned about that.”
The former prosecutor said it could have benefitted Trump if he had an appointee in the division as these proceedings unfold—and that he’s now missed that opportunity.
“They could have picked any two people in the world,” he added, “and they picked nobody.”
They're like Eliot Ness and the Untouchables.
Trump and his staff are ones we have to worry about, for at least a little while.
Pretty soon it won't matter any more.
