Finally, #Schiff talked at length about Trump's ultimate #corruption —
Suing the #IRS (so essentially suing himself since he puts people in power in the IRS) to create a "slush fund" to reward those loyal to him, incl. violent #Jan6 offenders.
Schiff said the "grand total" of Trump's "Top 10" acts of corruption is ~$6 billion to American taxpayers. 👀
Schiff also said that #trump bought #NVIDIA stock BEFORE he approved the company's major overseas sales deal 👀🤯

@ArrowbearMoore Not your exact issue but I got a #IRS 4883C letter, requiring the same type of BS, apparently an identity verification. I've called the number they gave me for DAYS, they say high call volume prevents them from taking any calls. I can't seem to verify online. I made an appointment finally, but it's a 2.5 hour drive for me, each way. OH yeah, I'm hopping mad. I just wrote my congressperson.

Garrett Downs reports: Did IRS chief Frank Bisignano mislead Congress? Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senate Democrats allege his testimony on staffing conflicts with internal memos. The IRS lost over 31,000 workers under Trump cuts, yet Bisignano claimed good employee numbers. Lying to Congress is a crime.

Update in #Trump v. #IRS, (26-cv-20609) District Court, S.D. Florida, the case that was the fig leaf for #ToddBlanche to sign off creating the #Jan6 "Anti-Weaponization Fund" and then the judge was convinced the whole thing was a demonstrable scam on the court and sent Trump's attorneys for sanctions. #SlushFund #LawFedi https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72207870/trump-v-internal-revenue-service/
Well, someone quipped that MAGA stands for Making Attorneys Get Attorneys and Brito now has a replacement (Doc 109) and a lawyer to call his own (Doc 110).
What can this development mean? Are they about to appeal Judge William's Order (Doc 106) to the 11th Circuit?
Can you appeal a referral to your state bar association?
Or are they just here to contest the expected motion for reimbursement from the amici who worked on arguments that never had their day in court due to the sham adversity between the parties? That motion is due by 2026/07/27.

From today's "The Parnas Perspective" newsletter.

Under, "Other News"
The IRS is expected to take a cut of Spain’s $50 million World Cup prize because income earned on American soil is generally taxable by the United States. Since Spain played seven of its eight matches in the US, as much as $43.75 million could potentially be treated as US-sourced, though the actual allocation may be more complex.

Anyone else get a CP53E from #IRS requiring bank account info, 30 day deadline, to receive an unexpected Possible refund, because this year they no longer issue checks?
Anyone else extremely frustrated with having to use a smartphone to upload D.L. or passport image, backed up by a selfie so they can enter your image into a facial recognition data base that #DOGE boys likely leaked or stole, just to access your IRS account?
Not a scam, just bullshit.

Sen. Adam #Schiff (D-CA) ripped into Todd #Blanche, Trump's pick for Attorney General (AG) at the #CongressionalHearing, mentioning how Blanche effectively acted as Trump's personal lawyer with the recent #trump "settlement" with the #IRS
"What happened to you, Todd Blanche?" Schiff said, talking about how Blanche was different as a NY district attorney in the past, and would never have done such a thing then.

And Trump's acting Attorney General broke the law according to a federal judge —
Blanche "violated a federal law preventing the White House from controlling #IRS investigations" when he called for the IRS to stop all tax-related investigations and audits of #trump and his family as part of the "settlement" that TRUMP'S OWN APPOINTED GOVERNMENT made with him outside of the courts.
The US federal government under trump is bathing in #corruption

56-page order from Judge Williams deciding that they agree with Supreme Court and Trump in that Trump was suing himself and none of this is an Article III matter. Trump attorneys to face the flames.
Summary of this order (Doc 106):
pp. 3–5 obviously Trump knew about leaker but statute of limitations ran out. Also, only v. Trump did DOJ not defend IRS.
pp. 6–9 posture of DOJ and "settlement" were preposterous.
pp. 9–11 Despite voluntary dismissal, court still has a role.
pp. 11–17 If no adversity, there is no controversy, if there is no controversy, there is not Article III jurisdiction.
pp. 17–21 Logic and the Supreme Court said Trump is suing himself.
pp. 21–23 Trump's Executive Order says Trump is suing himself.
pp. 23–26 DOJ conduct suggests they were obeying that E.O.
pp. 26–27 Trump reinforced this doctrine.
pp. 27–38 No one involved is operating legally or ethically.
pp. 38–54 All attorneys for Trump and DOJ in this matter should go to hell, but the court will instead bar those that it can, fine those that it can, and refer all to bar associations.
pp. 54-56 Fuck you and your kleptocracy very much.

“In abdicating its responsibility to zealously defend the interests of the United States, the #Government entered into a ‘settlement’ that deviated from its litigation posture in similar actions, disregarded #DOJ policies, & accomplished objectives beyond those authorized, as well as those specifically prohibited, by #law,” Williams wrote.

Today in #Trump v. #IRS (26-cv-20609) District Court, S.D. Florida https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72207870/trump-v-internal-revenue-service/
"Thanks for your concern, but your help is not needed at this time."
Or in Judge Williams' own words:
> This matter is before the Court on the various motions ("Motions") for leave to file briefings as amici curiae (DE 91 ); DE 95 ; DE 101 ). The Court greatly appreciates the assistance that these attorneys have offered through their proposed filings. However, the Court has determined that this case has been sufficiently briefed and there is no need for additional amici briefing.
> Accordingly, the Motions (DE 91 ; DE 95 ; DE 101 ) are DENIED.
91 was Biazzo, a lawyer in private practice who points out that the settlement apology and no-payout terms invalidate the #SlushFund
95 was 4 former DOJ and Treasury officials and 2 public interest groups
101 was 23 current state AGs.

@heidilifeldman Another day, another proposed amici brief. This time from 23 current attorneys general of 22 states with lots of people and Washington D.C.
Their main argument is that Todd Blanche is not even *acting* like an attorney general (see what I did there?).
> Based on amici’s long experience as chief law officers, the Justice Department’s conduct is inconsistent with legitimate efforts to defend a lawsuit under these circumstances. The Department refused to mount any genuine defense to Plaintiffs’ claims or to test their validity, despite the availability of numerous independent grounds for dismissal. Nor did Defendants appear to engage in any fact gathering regarding the scope of purported damages or other relief. In short, the Department did not take any meaningful steps to safeguard public funds or to ensure that any settlement was in the best interests of the taxpayers. In amici’s experience, no public law department with the responsibility for defending sovereign interests and public funds would plausibly litigate as Acting Attorney General Blanche and the Department of Justice did here. The Department’s conduct strongly suggests that the litigation was a collusive fraud engineered to violate the constitutional limits on presidential authority under the veneer of a settlement.
