    This one will be interesting. Unlike the other departments, the IRS and the SEC are used to working with hostile partners.

      And, Trump is generally known to be a tax cheat, and the Democrats have been funding the IRS where the Republicans including Trump have been starving and attacking it. I have no idea but you are correct that it could be interesting.
