Trump Now Gets a $1.8BN Taxpayer Slush Fund to Pay Others

[Political-Junkie]

The leaking of taxpayer information by someone they professed to clear as not a threat is evidence they didn't properly vet Littlejohn.

That's nowhere near true. Littlejohn could have passed every background check with flying colors for all we know. That he stole data is not evidence he wasn't properly vetted.

"for all we know"

So you admit you know nothing about how well he was vetted (even though his actions are significant proof that he wasn't vetted nearly enough) and that a civil lawsuit holds a much lower standard for threshold of proof than a criminal case?

We might be getting somewhere with you peabrained nimrods. LOL

True, I don't know, and neither do you. But unlike you, I'm not pretending to know.

The law still dictates the IRS can't be held liable since Littlejohn committed the crime and he was not an IRS employee.

First, we don't need to "know". We just need to find it likely for the suit to have merit. Secondly, we do "know" that Littlejohn broke the law because he's sitting in prison right now for his crimes. The probability that the IRS missed red flags in the vetting process in hiring him is very high based upon the nature and volume of his crimes. The IRS can and was held responsible for that failure per the settlement. Again, we don't need absolute "proof". Just a simple proponderance of the evidence. We don't have all the inside information right now but the facts here look pretty straightforward. We use facts available to us, not left-wing propaganda.

He did work for the IRS for about 6 years before the theft and nothing's been reported negatively about his employment during that period. Good luck proving he wasn't properly vetted.

It doesn't need to be "proved". It just needs to be likely for a civil lawsuit.

I take it back. You pea-brained nimrods cannot be helped.

The lawsuit wss dropped. But had it gone to court, you think Trump didn't need to prove his case beyond a preponderance of the evidence?

 

[Mick2]

The lawsuit wss dropped.

....because of the settlement. The real winners here are those who will be compensated for having their personal tax info leaked by an IRS-hired contractor (who should have never been hired by the IRS) and others who were victims of government malfeasance. That is something we should all applaud.

It's funny you think that's why the lawsuit was dropped. Thanks for the laugh.

And there's a good chance no one will get a penny from it.
