There was a lot of repetition in that document. Kind of like a Catholic service. It would be nice to see the IRS do something good for once. Seems like they have an opportunity here.

Some of Trumps loudest (and wealthiest) supporters also happen to be strident Scientologists.. Nancy Cartwright, Grant and Elena Cardone, Robert Duggan, a bunch more important people in his power base in Florida. the IRS won’t touch them with a 10ft pole.

Bart is a Scientologist?

L. Ron Hubbard deliberately used jargon-heavy, convoluted language to confuse, control, and entrap Scientologists—intellectually and emotionally. The shifting definitions and dense terminology weren’t accidental; they created a closed system where your confusion only pushed you to rely more on the Church for answers. These weren’t revelations—they were linguistic traps, designed to shut down your ability to think critically and replace it with unquestioning obedience. Eventually Hubbard went nuts from drinking too much of his own kool-aid.

Well, they did allegedly indulge in psuedo-science, high-pressure sales tactics, slavery, financial abuse, and have a militant "navy" so it's not a shock.[0] I hope FriendlyAtheist picks this up.
