Good. If he made no money, he pays no taxes. Is there proof that he lied on his taxes? You know, the "innocent until proven guilty" crap that liberals like to spew when it comes to THEIR guilt, but "guilty until proven innocent" when it's Trump?

It's not a wealth tax, it's an income tax. No income=no tax

How can there be punitive damages against the IRS when the IRS didn't leak his records? And there was no harm done to Trump by releasing records he said for years he wanted to release.

This was outright theft of our Treasury between a president and his former personal attorney who he placed into a position to steal almost $2 billion from the Treasury.

If you want to appreciate how outrageous this is, just look inward how you would feel if Obama or Biden pulled off a stunt like this.

Contractors employed by the IRS. Therefore, the IRS is liable.

The guys an idiot. He doesn't understand liability law. Or much of anything else, for that matter.

Same with Clinton, same with Hunter Biden, same with Comey. Want to keep going? Above the law defines those people.

I guess why we call them "elites"? Over decades and generations they have constructed a system that gives them immunity. ZOG is part of it.

Trump was a victim of his own irresponsible actions

Yes, how dare he be so irresponsible to beat Hillary.

Certainly for the dems. Republicans get charged with crimes that don't even exist, in districts that hate them, and then the dems use the "gimmy" convictions as proof of criminal behavior.

Yet we've seen time and time again that democrats only seem to accuse republicans of that which THEY are themselves guilty.

Isn't this nice? It looks like part of the deal of dropping the suit is he can't be investigated by the IRS, him nor any of his companies.

I guess when you are investigating him solely because you don't like him, it's known as lawfare and will fall apart as soon as a Trump friendly DOJ takes over.

"It is, quite simply, a scam.

Only Congress has the power to appropriate federal dollars. Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution states that “no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law.” But Mr. Trump and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche seem to think they can conjure this giant slush fund into being without congressional approval."

Because the records belong to the IRS. It is the IRS's responsibility to keep them secure. Failing to do that makes them guilty of at LEAST a civil crime, violation of privacy rights.

Trump didn't sue over the release of the years he approved, dumbass.

The law says if the violation is committed by a non-government employee, which is who leaked his tax returns, you can sue the individual. And it indicates how much you can sue for. This case was never going to trial because Trump would get nothing from the leaker. So he got his former private attorney to hand him $1.8 billion instead.

 

[Political-Junkie]

There doesn't need to be a trial. There can be a SETTLEMENT. You don't get a 10B settlement or agreement to drop the lawsuit and these kinds of agreements unless the case had merit.

Sorry, we know you hate Trump, but your TDS has you blinded.

Didn't say there does need to be a trial. What I have said is there was never going to be a trial because Trump would have gotten nothing from the US Treasury. The only way he could steal that money was for his former private attorney to hand it to him.

 

[Political-Junkie]

No he didn't, that's to pay other people who were the victims of lawfare. Like the woman who was sentenced to 10 years in prison, when the facts of the case, AT BEST, support misdemeanor trespassing charges.

He's not taking any of it. Fuckin liar.

Of course he took the money. It was his lawsuit and only he could collect it
What he does with it is irrelevant, he already stole it.

 

[Political-Junkie]

It's true that Trump isn't getting any of the ~$1.8 Billion directly.

What he does get is having his personal defense attorney (now acting AG) shutting down the IRS case against Trump with a $100 Million tax liability for claiming loses on a Chicago tower twice. Inflating the loses and therefore under paying taxes.

CONTRACTORS IN THE WORKPLACE

Contractor employees often work alongside Government personnel in the Government workplace, a situation that can present unique challenges. No matter how long they have served in an office, contractor employees are not Government employees.

The law proves me right.

The law sir, is an ass.
