BREAKING: NOT SO FAST! Federal judge reopens Trumpโs 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 โ a case Trump had voluntarily dismissed last week specifically to avoid her scrutiny โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ appointed by presidents of both parties โ 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 canโt wait to see the Justice Department try to explain itself, please like and share this post everywhere.
@primetimeblvck@QasimRashid No racist evil white people did it no matter their affiliation. It would be the sane 1s that ran to modern Republican party after passage of Civil Rights legislation. The ones like you, parents and grandparents.
@West_reclaimed@QasimRashid What about it? It's made up bullshit. Show proof? If anybody that deserves to be enslaved, it's you. All heinous acts and atrocities done by WYPIPO like mass genocide, colonization and enslaving human bodies. There is nothing historically benevolent done by you spawns of Satan.
@CopeIsClutch@QasimRashid WYPIPO haven't created shit. They stole it and committed mass genocide and enslaved of humans bodies. You ought to be grateful that minorities aren't like you and take it out on your fragile ass. Buy that day may changing mediocre wyboy.
For all his authoritarian tendencies, in the end Orban did the right thing: he conceded the election, did not make phony accusations of fraud, and called his opponent to congratulate him. That's the lesson American conservatives should take from Viktor Orban.
@nfreal96@AfricanHub_ You sound ignorant. Many African countries were still colonized after slavery. Do you know what colonization is? Do some research and look up the Berlin Conference. See who does the real looting.
@SheepleFarmers@KillianMWright There are more Mizzou grads in STL than SLU. Get in a real conference with a real media contract and maybe you'll attract NIL donors. Switch records and Mizzou is a 3/4 seed and SLU is a 5/6 seed in the NIT.
