President Donald Trump is suing the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, and is seeking $10 billion in damages.
Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department in federal court in Miami on Thursday, following the leak of their tax returns by a former IRS employee in 2019 and 2020.
That’s the best part: he doesn’t have to. He can just order IRS to settle.
No he can’t. The IRS legal team isn’t an executive function.
Oh you sweet summer child
Oh you infantilizing winter moron. Make an actual argument not a veiled insult.
Yhe irs’ leadership is appointed by prez snd can be fired at will. They can order the legal team, and or fimd ways to get them out.
I remimd you he sued parts of the federal government already and they settled with him, what did he Sue again I can’t recall at the moment. I think at least two lawsuits one with the FBI was it?
The oig isn’t and the oig is who would appoint outside counsel since everyone involved in conflicted.
He didn’t, and they didn’t. He certainly threatened to I’ll give you that.
I presume you are referring to the office of Inspector general, and they can be fired by the president he is fired several already last year.
That would make the oig as conflicted as the IRS commissioner in which case it would dump out to Congress to choose.
That said the oig for Treasury is a very large office for an oig and that’s a very tall tree to chop down by millimeters, trump would be dead before all conflictions are litigated.
If you say so, I do not share your faith.
Another good news!
Doesn’t matter commissioners do not decide settlements.
Who hires the IRS lawyers that do decide them?
The IRS oig.
OMG! The good news just keeps coming and coming
“On September 24, 2025, federal judge Ana C. Reyes ruled that the administration unlawfully fired 17 inspectors general, but refused to reinstate them, noting that Trump could simply re-fire them after providing the congressionally mandated 30 days’ notice.”
That’s not new, he’s getting sued by a handful of them.
Didn’t you read the part about the judge refusing to reinstate them?
So you still believe the people that decide settlements for IRS are independent of the administration even though Trump can just fire them at will… That’s why everyone laughed at you. Now I feel stupid for providing arguments. I should have just laughed as well.
hahahahahahahaha
That’s not an argument.
Dumb people love memes, look at this administration for example.
