Just as Nucky had said, the illegal liquor business had become an interest group tangled with countless people's benefits, some of whom had never met each other, yet they were still in the same interest group.
The IRS wanted to investigate him, which actually meant investigating the entire interest group.
On the surface, the struggle was about Coshek Kevin trying to use the investigation as a stepping stone to become the head of the IRS.
But if one thought about it more deeply... the people at the IRS must know how powerful the interest group behind his illegal liquor business was, and Kevin wasn't foolish; he would know that challenging this group would bring enormous pressure on him.
Yet he had done it anyway...
There had to be a deeper issue behind it.
Perhaps it was the most common type of struggle in the politics of the United States, the power struggle between the White House and Congress!
