This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.”
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

@Killinmebigs not now either.....2 tragic accidents....but who goes to harass law enforcement physically while armed? I'm an NRA instructor, FFL and I would advise nobody do that.
Nothing to see here folks. Just like he tried to hide his drone strikes in the first admin.
“Most transparent admin ever”…

@Killinmebigs@rukambaditiro@EndWokeness bwahahahahahahahaha....man, the indoctrination runs deep! John's writing is public....he documents the whole Russia hoax crime. substack.com/home/post/p-16… You won't read unless you really want the truth.Maybe you will? He sources everything.
@Killinmebigs@nypost@ComfortablySmug Mangione kills a guy blaming him for high insurance costs? Ha! The pinnacle of victimhood....try Odumbocare and other gov intrusive meddling.
@ski2die56@nypost@ComfortablySmug 1. Not a lefty genius
2. Nowhere did I say I was fine with it
3. You stalking me bro? You are going way back on the timeline.
@ski2die56 Funny how you your ignorance is showing. Dems protested Obama and some of his immigration policies.
But then again ICE wasn’t arresting Americans raiding citizens homes without warrants and killing them so…..
@Killinmebigs lots was shut down....and much more should be....slash gov in half, especially the welfare you're on. Funny ICE wasn't crazy when dems were deporting 3M under Obama. bwahahahahah.....42? Ha!
@theDigitalCCH@optiontrader001@PCoyne2@MikeLevin Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. My point is he told someone else to do it for him…as in him wanting the trades to happen then he promoted the companyafterwards to raise the price.
@ski2die56@MikeLevin@brhodes That’s weird since I retired at 42. But that doesn’t matter.
Notice how you had to pivot away from the talking point? Imbeciles can be rich, trump is proof of that.
So anyways….tramp would be in jail if it wasn’t for his minions.
Now that’s fucking retarded. I didn’t say those trades weren’t made on his behalf by his trust. I said he didn’t personally make them. It’s also pretty crazy how financially ignorant you people are. The stocks he’s buying are the same stocks everybody is buying. Those stocks are in almost every fund you can buy, because the MAG7 are the stocks that drive the market. Anybody involved in the market is buying those stocks. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@MikeLevin Like them or not the proud boys and antifa are member of society and deserve the same equal rights as everyone else.
Violating their rights because you hate them is not ok.
@MikeLevin lmao. You lefty t*rds attacked a candidate and a sitting prez criminally en masse for a decade....and he/we fkn beat your wimpy g*y asses so bad that now all you can do is TDS and whine...waaa waaa waaa! Aint over b**ches! We're coming after you even harder. Whine more! @brhodes
