Trump sues IRS and Treasury for $10 billion

[Anonymous]

A federal judge found that the IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.

If Trump is suing for $10 billion because of leaked info from the IRS, that means the government is on the hook for about $427 trillion here — more than its total budget over U.S. history.

It’s always 10 billion. He sues everyone for 10 billion.

They will settle for 100 billion dollars.

Trump drops suit. Unclear if it's due to settlement or due to Trump giving up after failing to provide the basic minimum evidence to continue wasting the court's time.

Read the article you posted. He got $1.7bn taxpayer dollars to pay out his tax dodging cronies.

The filing came shortly after ABC News reported that Trump was expected to drop the suit in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund made up of taxpayer dollars that would be used to compensate the president’s allies who have argued they were wrongly targeted by previous administrations, including those charged in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol.

In my experience, you need the judge’s permission to drop a lawsuit. Its usually routine, but I would hope the judge would question this one.

He needs to spend years in jail for financial corruption.

When will it be enough? What will it take?

This might be the biggest fraud case by an administration ever.

He’s literally just backing a truck up to the UD treasury and loading it up. Pure unfiltered corruption. And all the MAGAs who pretend to care about fraud and abuse are no where to be found.

I am not an expert on these things but it seems politically fraught for the president to use our tax dollars to pay off the people who stormed the U.S. Capital at the same time his tariffs and war are making everything we buy more expensive.

And the “Board” who decides on any awards is hand chosen by the AG and its decisions and records will be sealed and not shared. Nothing wrong here.
