Trump sues the IRS for $10 billion over leaked tax records (Update: "settlement" for $1.8B fund for "weaponization victims") (9 Viewers)

[coldseat]

We should have a place to talk about and track Trump and Blanche's DOJ 1.8 billion dollar crony slush fund and all of the other abuses of that settlement, including excluding Trump and his family from any investigation into tax evasion. We can also track all of the challenges to this attempt to outright steal American tax payer money and also all of the degenerates that get a pay out. We can park any of that news and discussion here.

Clearly, this is outright corruption right in our face. No president has ever been this brazen with their depravity and desire to rip off American tax payers. I look forward to seeing Sendia and TampaJoe defend this.

I have no words for this is he suing himself? How do you use the government and knowing trump with the goverment is the goverment going to defend itself against the government? You know he will just be handed the money.. but it was fine sharing other people's tax returns, perfectly acceptable.

The insurrectionist are very happy about this. They can wait for the piece of the corruption.

I hate Trump and this administration so much!

==================
Supporters of President Donald Trump who tried to overturn the 2020 election are among those eager to potentially cash in from the $1.8 billion compensation fund for people the Trump administration believes were victims of government “weaponization and lawfare.”

In interviews with CNN, convicted US Capitol rioters from January 6, 2021, fake electors and prominent election deniers said they’re hoping to tap the massive fund, which they think is long overdue.

“I can’t even find a job answering the phone at a motorcycle dealership,” said convicted January 6 rioter Dominic Box, who spent 1.5 years in jail awaiting trial and was later pardoned by Trump. “I can’t find a way to support myself right now. I lost my career. I look forward to financial compensation. I need it. This will be a welcome relief.”

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told CNN he believes his company lost $400 million due to what he views as government weaponization in the aftermath of the 2020 election. He was perhaps the loudest promoter of baseless voter-fraud claims – drawing boycotts from businesses, defamation lawsuits and even FBI scrutiny.

“I would say we were the number-one company in the world hurt by our own government,” said Lindell.

A lawyer for One America News, the pro-Trump channel that promoted false 2020 vote-rigging claims, also confirmed to CNN that the company is “seriously considering pursuing rights under this fund.” OAN was later dropped by most large cable providers and also settled multiple 2020-related defamation lawsuits.

Top Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, have dodged questions over whether people convicted of January 6-related crimes, including people who assaulted police, should be awarded any of the funds.

If a sitting president can't be sued by citizens, then a sitting president shouldn't be able to sue our government.

I don't think it happens. It will be killed in the Senate. Massie and Cassidy are going to be
a thorn in his side for 7 more months.

does he use his private lawyer who is also the #2 government lawyer? Does he fight for Trump and the government??? There is no way this can work, and he will just get 10 billion in his pocket. its insane.

I hope you are right, for me it is just so difficult to think positive, or have any hope

They are hyping themselves up about getting millions of dollars. They're going to be pissed when they find out they aren't getting any of the money, because Trump and his closest rich allies are going to take all the money. Trump doesn't share money. He says he will and that he has, but he never has and he never will.

These traitors are about to find out.

When he is suing himself too, since he took over all departments.

Someone posted a tik tok video yesterday where a reporter asked a Republican senator
about the slush fund. He said we are going to kill it. You can't do this. When asked how the
senate can kill it he said, we'll investigate the legalities,but you can't do this.

Too bad the United States don't have an AG or DoJ to defend themselves in this suit.

The Senator also said that they were going to kill the Trump IRS immunity deal, because you can't do that either. I hope he's not just saying that because of the midterm elections coming up.
