and two weeks after the supreme court ended the federal right to abortion, the nightmare scenario is playing out across the country as we get new evidence of hope and growing backlash. all in starts right now. good evening from new york i m chris hayes. you know, it may be 2022 but today we have a new story in the official investigation into an apparent or possible trump administration s conduct. today, the irs announced it is asked the treasury department inspector general to look into audits of the two who dared to cross donald trump. james comey and andrew mccabe. they were both selected by the irs, supposedly at random for very rare intensive financial audits. to give you a sense of just how rare this invasive random audit is, just one out of 30,600 taxpayers i selected for in any given year, and all the sudden interment us occasion with the irs is still run by the trump appointee commissioner claims it is quote, ludicrous untreated suggest that senior irs officials are
