I had noticed the sloth and torpor of the Trump-damaged IRS in releasing information about local non-profit groups. Thanks to ProPublica for documeneting the prroblem persiss. No wonder dodgy demagogues like U.S. Rep. KEVIN McCARTHY (R-Mar A Lago?) and other dupery dopey DONALD JOHN TRUMP cultists who obnoxiously oppose empowering IRS to go after tax cheats. The idle rich, like putative "billionaire" DONALD JOHN TRUMP own the sere remnnnts of the once Grand Old Party. Pitiful,

The IRS Hasn’t Released Nearly Half a Million Nonprofit Tax Records
If you’re trying to evaluate a charity this year, you might have a hard time. The IRS is behind on releasing Form 990s, limiting access to key financial information the public uses to evaluate the nation’s tax-exempt companies.
As Americans scramble to make their year-end charitable contributions, they may have to do so without a key tool for understanding how those charities spend their money: their most recent tax forms.
According to a ProPublica review of public IRS data, which powers our Nonprofit Explorer database, the agency is behind on releasing nearly half a million tax records, known as Form 990s, for tax-exempt organizations. The delays, which began two years ago, are stymying access to key financial information that governments, the public and grantmakers use to evaluate the nation’s tax-exempt companies.
The gap in reporting has become so profound that state charitable enforcement officers are sounding the alarm. In November, the National Association of State Charity Officials sent a letter urging the IRS to address backlogged 990 data releases.
Trump crippled and corrupted government in every way that he could. There were Trump trolls who wreaked havoc within the federal government during his phoney presidency. It will all come out in the wash. They're still firing Trump trolls as we speak.
