The DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump, his family and his businesses from IRS audits
This is outrageously corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar.
CREW President Donald Sherman breaks it down.
BREAKING: NOT SO FAST! Federal judge reopens Trump’s IRS case and demands to know if her court was defrauded.
Judge Kathleen Williams has had enough.
In a brief but devastating order Friday, the federal judge in Miami reopened Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — a case Trump had voluntarily dismissed last week specifically to avoid her scrutiny — and ordered Trump's lawyers to explain by June 12th why she shouldn't find that the entire scheme was a fraud perpetrated against her court.
The judge's language was pointed and precise. She said she wanted to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to resolve the case was "premised on deception." She asserted that she was "empowered to investigate serious misconduct" and demanded answers to two devastating questions: was "the court the victim of a fraud," and did Trump collude with his own government to settle the case specifically "to avoid judicial scrutiny"?
The answer to both questions, based on everything that has already been reported, appears to be yes.
Judge Williams had been circling this case for weeks before Trump pulled it. She had openly questioned how Trump could sue an agency he controls, with government lawyers who answer to him, producing a settlement negotiated with officials he appointed. She ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually adversaries or secretly colluding. Trump dismissed the case the day before those briefs were due.
Then, after she closed it, the Justice Department released not one but two extraordinary agreements — a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies, and a separate one-page document permanently barring the IRS from ever auditing Trump, his family, or his businesses. Agreements that had apparently been negotiated while the case was supposedly active before her court.
Judge Williams cited the New York Times report revealing that the IRS had prepared a 25-page memo outlining strong defenses against Trump's suit — defenses the Justice Department never raised in court, never filed, never mentioned.
Her order came directly in response to the filing by 35 former federal judges — appointed by presidents of both parties — who called the scheme a fraud and urged her to reopen the case.
She listened.
"We stand ready to work with the court as it investigates this matter," said Norman Eisen, who represented the former judges.
Trump tried to flip the table before she could see the cards. She just put them back on the table.
If you can’t wait to see the Justice Department try to explain itself, please like and share this post everywhere.
We took the President to court and won.
Today, the over $200 million owed to continue the Gateway Tunnel has been released, and hardworking men and women can finally get back on the job.
BREAKING: @CongressMin says that not a single Republican Congress member showed up for the deposition of Les Wexner today.
They literally don’t care about Epstein and his co-conspirators. What kind of sick people are they?
Wexner also said he hasn’t been contacted by the FBI or DOJ at all
🚨 BREAKING: Not a single Republican showed up for Les Wexner’s deposition today — the billionaire longtime Epstein associate whose name appears repeatedly in the files.
Zero. Oversight. From the GOP.
Wexner also says the FBI and DOJ have never contacted him.
After years of “release the files” rhetoric, they won’t even show up to question one of Epstein’s closest financial backers.
@SenFettermanPA Wishing & Hoping was a great song back in the day, but it is not a successful principle that will yield your desired food security results, given a compliant GOP that bends the knee & subscribes to the cruelty promulgated by Steven Miller and OMB/Project 2025 author RussellVought
@ABC@abcWNN@jimmykimmel STOP THE INSANITY! Jimmy did not dishonor Charley Kirk - he properly commented on MAGA’s one sided efforts to disown the shooter and paint him as a leftist terrorist. FREE JIMMY KIMMEL!
Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”
