Former IRS officials call for judge to scrutinize Trump's 'breathtakingly improper' immunity from audits
A group of former officials with the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to scrutinize a controversial deal that granted President Donald Trump and his family sweeping immunity from past tax audits.
They alleged that the deal to resolve Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax documents in exchange for immunity from past audits was "unprecedented and breathtakingly improper."

calling Trump's conduct "breathtakingly improper" might be so light-handed as to risk oneself being labeled a sycophantic apparatchik for failing to call him out for the child (and adult)-raping serial felon he was before even taking office.
as you should be.
IRS officials using language like that is the equivalent of anyone else going completely unhinged.
Former IRS officials.
One might say the statement is an unofficial release for IRS.
lol, I repeat my previous statement
But, yes, I agree
Why did you post an article from a month ago? The judge has already ruled on this.

The fat cunt should be in jail. That is obvious. Not just for this but for everything from blatant corruption to stealing top secret files to inciting insurrection to raping of little girls and boys.
However I will also say that anyone who worked on this for him, and anyone who allows it to happen, should also be arrested and investigated before being sent to prison. I'm at the point where anyone who works for that orange bag of rancid syphilis is nearly as bad and corrupt as that wobbling dementia riddled kiddie fucker.
I'll go you one better: When we claw back power, we should also investigate Schmuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, because they are 50% of the reason that MAGA was able to regain power. They couldn't have done a worse job if they'd been paid, and I think we should find out if that was the case.
Schmuck is sitting on over $200 million that he amassed while telling us that we can't afford Universal Health Care. All he cares about is Israel and Insider Trading. The American people are low on his list of priorities, and he would definitely sell us out for a billion MAGA Bucks in an offshore bank account.
It's wild how little time it took to go from, "Jimmy Carter can't own a peanut farm," to this
Trump had allegedly earned over 4 billion this term.
They aren’t even hiding anymore.
Trump (i.e. people on his behalf) did a trade on average every 6 minutes
The slush fund was just a red herring. Codified corruption was the goal.
Didn't that deal just get nixed?
The slush fund did. Not sure if the immunity part did.
Dammit, you're right. Federal judge ruled that the two parties in the suit were not separate entities, but did not nullify any portion of the settlement.
The ruling explicitly says that the settlement never had any legal standing. There is nothing to nullify.
Grrr reporting on this is all over the place.
Yes it did. It all goes away, and the lawyers may lose their licenses. There is no settlement, because there was no case, and lawyers are likely to be sanctioned over it, and possibly lose their licenses (they won't, but they'll sweat it out for a while).
The slush fund and the immunity deal are officially dead. Now we should investigate how this all happened, who made the decision to actually attempt this ridiculous operation, and put them in prison.
NOW they pipe up?
