Umm… say what now???

🚨🚨🚨

The agreement the #DOJ made with #Trump to settle his lawsuit against the #IRS includes a provision BARRING the agency from pursuing #tax claims against Trump, his family or his businesses. The new provision was released a day after DOJ agreed to settle Trump’s lawsuit by creating a $1.8 billion compensation fund for people *he believes* were wronged by federal investigations or prosecutions.

Live Updates: Trump's Deal to Settle Lawsuit Blocks I.R.S. Claims Against President and His Family

The New York Times

[This is effing nuts. We KNOW #Trump cheated on his #taxes. Just look at the NY v #TrumpOrganization lawsuit where he was found liable for decades of #fraud.]

In a one-page document signed by acting AG #ToddBlanche & quietly posted on the #DOJ website, officials vowed not to pursue any matters, including those involving Trump’s tax returns, that are currently pending.

#law #criminal #fraud #DOJ #JudicialProcess #theft #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState #MAGASlushFund #SlushFund

Neither the #DOJ nor the IRS responded to requests seeking comment. The top lawyer at the #Treasury, Brian Morrissey, resigned on Monday after the DOJ announced the settlement with #Trump.

DOJ officials have in part defended the creation of the “anti-weaponization” fund by pointing to the fact that Trump & his family members will not be paid by it.

But protection from audit would be hella remunerative for Trump. In 2024, NYT reported that a loss in an IRS audit could cost Trump >$100 million.

It is unclear if that examination has concluded or if #Trump, his family members or affiliated entities are under other audits. #IRS procedures call for the mandatory audit of the president’s tax returns annually.

‼️FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS the president, vice president & other executive officers from instructing the IRS to start or stop specific audits. But that broad prohibition does appear to include a carve out for the attorney general.‼️

US government agrees to drop tax claims against Trump

The U.S. government has agreed to permanently drop tax claims against President Donald Trump, according to a settlement document that is part of a deal to resolve Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns. As part of the settlement agreement, the U.S. is “forever barred and precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump organization’s current tax issues, according to a one-page document posted to the DOJ website on Tuesday.

Also, during today’s testimony in front of #Congress, Acting Attorney General
#ToddBlanche on Tuesday wouldn’t rule out the possibility that violent #insurgents at the US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, will be considered for payouts from the new $1.776 billion fund to compensate individuals who believe they were targeted politically.

Blanche faces scrutiny over a nearly $1.8B fund to repay Trump allies

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has not ruled out the possibility of compensating individuals involved in violence during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot from a new $1.776 billion fund. During a Congressional hearing on Tuesday, Blanche stated that anyone who believes they were politically targeted can apply for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” The fund, announced Monday, aims to compensate those mistreated by previous administrations' Justice Departments. Blanche emphasized that the fund is not limited to any political party or specific individuals. Some Democrats have criticized the fund as an abuse of power, while some Republicans have expressed discomfort with it.

Nice work if you can get it…

#Trump - #IRS settlement 'forever' bars audits into past #tax claims for Trump, his family & #business

The #DOJ has "forever barred" the IRS ⁠from pursuing ANY audits into PAST tax claims for Trump, his relatives & his companies….

The sweeping doc, signed by #ToddBlanche, said the #US #government could not audit Trump's tax returns filed before Monday or ‌any ⁠matters "that were raised or could have been raised."

CNN coverage of the #madness:

The #IRS cannot bring claims against #Trump, his family or businesses for past #tax issues, acc/to additional terms added Tuesday to the “#settlement” the #DOJ reached with Trump to “resolve” his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.

New settlement term bars IRS from investigating Trump, his family for past tax issues

The Internal Revenue Service can’t bring claims against President Donald Trump, his family or businesses for past tax issues, according to additional terms added Tuesday to the settlement the Justice Department reached with Trump to resolve his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.

CNN

The additional terms…were quietly added in a hyperlink to Monday’s #DOJ press release that contained an agreement to create a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate people or organizations that have been “weaponized” by past admins — a fund widely expected to benefit Trump’s allies, including #Jan6, 2021, US Capitol #insurgents.

Because #Trump is a #criminal #rapist #fraudster who is a constant source of #misinformation, let’s all assume this obviously #illegal madness [hopefully to be struck down in court] is a distraction from something far worse that he is either currently doing or will soon come to light.

Keep your eyes open.

Video of him fucking kids?

HeatherTX 1d ago

@Nonilex It’s all so totally insane. And let’s consider that for the past ten years, the Trump family & administrations have blatantly ignored, or changed, laws to favor their grifting & treason, so why should we uphold this unethical agreement? 🤬

David Esposito 1d ago

@Nonilex the sad thing is the left doset do stuff like this because to do this they would have to fund anti-capitalist sentiment

RichardInSandy 1d ago

@Nonilex how does that hold up in a couple of years when, all being well, he and his gang are out of power ?

FurballsNHairballs 1d ago

@Nonilex
Fuck that
If we get majority...impeachment is the least we can do...file RICO charges against administration and DOJ leadership.Forfeiture of all assets should be in there as well.

Doreen32128 ready to rumble!1d ago

@Nonilex My mind is blown!

@Doreen32128 @Nonilex i'm not easily shocked anymore by this bullshit but my jaw actually dropped.

Republicans...

Doreen32128 ready to rumble!1d ago

@Finitum @Nonilex Same!

@Nonilex it's just rape after rape of the people, scotus and Congress are cheerleading.

@Nonilex Truly staggering corruption, and I fear it's just the start.

Gerrit 🇪🇺🌍🍉🔻1d ago

So, the mafia says, you can't touch the mafia. Go figure.

George Liquor, American 1d ago

@Nonilex Good thing the Democrats are going to fight like hell to stop this obviously criminal shit.

Right?

Strider Uwe 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽1d ago

@Nonilex These stupid mofos really do believe that they can just give themselves a get-out-of-jail-free card, and then they’re good no matter what they do to the system. They just cannot conceive that they might be breaking the substrate of civilization, and that there might be bad consequences in all directions, including them… and that they are seriously outnumbered, if it comes to that.

Steve's Place 1d ago

@Nonilex Gangsters. The government is just gangsters raping kids and the treasury. There is no law enforcement, so there are no laws. It's all nonstop corruption and racketeering without end.

Jonathan 2d ago

Non-stop corruption. Once this is done, the whole weight of the law has to come down on him and his family.

Jonathan 1d ago

I await that day and when it arrives I will call it "lawfair"

@Nonilex
it's f****** horseshit and so is the piece of paper it was written on these m************ are going to be held to account
so help me

Fuck todd
No lube

Shdwdrgn 1d ago

@Nonilex Since there was no legal "settlement" as observed by the judge overseeing the case, it seems like this statement has no legal basis and can be ignored by any non-corrupt government that follow.

FinchHaven sfba 1d ago

We now have a transaction that is corrupt self-dealing simply unheard of in United States history:

Nonilex -- @Nonilex

"This is a FOREVER thing!

As part of the #settlement agreement, the #US is “forever barred & precluded” from examining or prosecuting #Trump, his sons & the #TrumpOrganization’s current #tax issues, according to the one-page document posted to the #DOJ’s website on Tuesday.

"...the US is “forever barred & precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons & the TrumpOrganization’s current #tax issues..."

"forever barred"

This is not "get out of jail free"

It's nothing less than "continue your corruption for as much as you can steal, for as long as you can continue stealing it"

Is there simply no way to control, to rein-in such obvious Trump Family corruption?

@Nonilex this is an admission of guilt, right?

Pusher of Pixels 1d ago

@Nonilex another reason the US is finished as a country. Literally making him above the law.

Pinchy63 🇨🇦1d ago

@pixelpusher220 @Nonilex
He’s a king now. All he needs is a gold, jewel encrusted crown.

@Nonilex Well Kavanaugh said that Roe was settled law. So I say that when we get law abiding people back into public office, that we take a page from the Supremacist Court of the United States and honor that "agreement" in the same way.

I would like every Trump enabler feeding at the trough to know that they will be held accountable - financially and criminially as appropriate.

I want every cent stolen from the American people repaid along with penalties.

That Dud Bloke 2d ago

@Nonilex What a shame the SCOTUS is so useless.

Michael Wyman 2d ago

@Nonilex next administration should start an audit of the Trumps, and if/when they sue then litigate that the “settlement” was illegal and void. Then persue all the insurrectionists and grifters having been given taxpayers’ stolen money.

Layan🍉ayoub🇵🇸1d ago

Jim Hubbell 1d ago

@Nonilex
This can be reversed if we ever agin have a DOJ that follows the law.

𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight"2d ago

@Nonilex surely nothing can go wrong with giving a felon convicted of multiple counts of tax fraud total immunity from tax fraud.

Allan Chow 2d ago

@Nonilex and plenty of people are ok with this.

@Nonilex but will that hold in the future?

Alex Lubertozzi 🇺🇦2d ago

@Nonilex This can’t possibly be legal. I mean, at least not in the quaint, old-fashioned meaning of the term *legal*.

AnnieBuddy 2d ago

There's a reason Parker Brothers included a "get out of jail free" card in Monopoly.

They knew Trump types would make full use of them.

Tom DB 🦣2d ago

@Nonilex I saw this one earlier and it sums it up really nice: If you elect a clown, do not be surprised when you are governed by a circus.

Better: if you elect a violent criminal don’t be surprised when you get violated

Zalasur 🐸🇺🇦2d ago

@Nonilex Yeah that will be one hundred percent enforceable and honored by a future administration

@Nonilex turning his family into a monarchy one step at a time

@Nonilex I see a lawsuit in the future that Trump and his family won't be able to stop

@Nonilex
How is any of this remotely legal or constitutional?

zemsgram 1d ago

@Nonilex I was wondering where that line was that they wouldn’t or couldn’t cross and now I know there is no line. It’s a free for all for Trump.

Virginicus 1d ago

@Nonilex As Popehat always says, if you are not bound by the law’s constraints, you are not entitled to its protections.

So that turd officially is King or Emperor now or what? 🤔

Francis Mangion (M)1d ago

SecondUniverse (she/her/they)1d ago

@Nonilex I don't believe a government agency can agree to disapply the law. Aside from anything else, Trump's competitors would likely challenge this - how do they compete against an organization that can can commit unlimited fraud?

SpaceLifeForm 1d ago

Smoking Gun. This should be a Red Flag to the IRS.

@Nonilex Welp! I'm out guys. It's been a good run. I don't see any resistance anymore.

#ToddBlanche needs to go to fcking prison.

Find me a candidate for president that promises to put these fuckers in Guantanomo and have them tried for treason in 2099.... they can be waterboarded every day until then.
