BREAKING NEWS: A Federal Judge Voided Trump's IRS Settlement, Ruled No Real Case Ever Existed, and Referred His Lawyers to the Bar

I Read All 56 Pages of the Trump IRS Ruling. It's a $1.776 Billion Fraud on the Court, and on Every American Taxpayer. Here's what you need o know.

Take 'the document' and a RED 'void' stamp and voila!

COMPLETELY VOUD AND ILLEGAL. PERIOD.

No argument here, 100%.

Any American who has paid a penny in taxes, or has been held accountable under the law, can sue to stop this ridiculous buddy settlement. For what? Trump was obligated to voluntarily release his tax returns (and disclose any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts).

Mitch Jackson's avatar

Hopefully he will be held accountable pursuant to many of the laws and regulations I cited in my recent post. Until then let's make sure we get everyone to register and vote in the midterm elections. That's our best bet moving forward right now.

Americans have a class action against Trump and Musk for the illegal access and distribution to third parties of all our personal data, too. Then, all those Americans and estates affected by COVID-19 may have a claim against Trump for being pivotal in the dissemination of disinformation (based on the Public Trust Doctrine and commercial enrichment). The districting map manipulations have little to do with the popular vote. What they are trying to rig is the electoral college vote, I believe. Good, honorable attorneys like us will be busy. Let us hope we can blow out in the midterms.

I’m not sure a class action is available in this case against the U.S. Government but I like idea. Keep me posted.

Doge was not a government entity (authorized by Congress). If you mean that the main class action would be against individuals rather than the government, then I think the answer is that the causes of action are against both. Musk was not an official government employee, and under agency law, is responsible for the illegal dissemination and mishandling of personal information. This is an example: “Last week, a federal judge https://www.eff.org/document/afge-v-opm-opinion-and-order-motion-dismiss the government’s motion to dismiss our Privacy Act https://www.eff.org/cases/american-federation-government-employees-v-us-office-personnel-management against the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE). OPM is disclosing to DOGE agents the highly sensitive personal information of tens of millions of federal employees, retirees, and job applicants. This disclosure violates the federal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_Act_of_1974, a watershed law that tightly limits how the federal government can use our personal information.”

Thus, the limited scope of this already filed lawsuit, either could be a class action for everyone whose data was illegally accessed and retained, or it leaves open for another class to be created. How many Americans?

Mitch Jackson on Substack is WORTH following! Thanks for this solid, understandable oral summary.

Mitch Jackson's avatar

You are too kind. Thank you. Your support is very much appreciated and my team and I will be bouncing back and forth between our written post and supplemental audio posts depending on our time.

Go after the IRS CEO NOW!!!!!! Take him down.

Mitch Jackson's avatar

That would be good to see David. Maybe after the midterms, with the new majority in Congress, we'll see these knuckleheads be subpoenaed and called in to testify under oath in public hearings on video. That's the kind of oversight we'll have if we can prevail in the November election. Justice isn't always fast but in most cases it does happen. In this case I see it happening in 2027 and 2028.

David Pilkinton's avatar

Unfortunately we have been subjected to two Presidential Justice Departments on both ends of the spectrum. Biden's Justtice Department, feckless in prosecuting Trump and now Trump's Justice Department, corrupt as hell. I hope your right.

Mitch Jackson's avatar

Biden’s was too cautious about following the law in an independent and constitutional fashion. Trump's is part of a criminal enterprise controlled and managed by everything he says and does. Not even close to being the same thing.

David Stevens's avatar

Perhaps my math is suspect: please double check.

$1.776,000,000 divided by the approximate (but close enough) 340,000,000 American population, ends up as $5.22 for every American man, woman, child, and infant. The 2026 American president has a 250th Anniversary grift for ALL of his subjects.

Mitch Jackson's avatar

David, the number should be zero. That's my math. I know you don't disagree but this entire case was fraudulent from the very start and it looks like I'll be a guest this upcoming Thursday on a national radio show to discuss the details. Should be interesting.

This INFURUATES me, a senior citizen, who cannot even get in touch with a REAL human at the now-DOGEd-IRS to follow up on my 2025 tax return appeal of the IRS not accurately crediting 2 of my 3 estimated tax prepayments for which the Musk-crippled lRS only credited me for ONE, despite ALL three cleared & deducted from my bank!

Mitch Jackson's avatar

I'm sorry this is happening to you, Tracy. Totally get it and do hope things improve after we vote in a new majority in Congress in the midterms. Keep your fingers crossed.

Tracy Alexis's avatar

I know l am not the only one. If this is happening to me, l am confidant that it is happening to others too! It's just an underhanded way of stripping American's of their rights (like the right of accountability / transparency from our tax-collecting entity and our UNdiluted right for representation for taxation paid)!!

Mitch Jackson's avatar

That's why we need to be loud, insist our elected representatives do their damn job and all of us vote in the midterms.

Helen Nowlin's avatar

Why should t-rump or any billionaire get more privileges than the average Joe or Jane!?

Mitch Jackson's avatar

The guy was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. That's all he knows. If we can take back a majority in the midterms, we'll be better positioned to hold him accountable.

Mike Hughes's avatar

So how does Trump get to be held accountable for this besides putting Democrats in charge of the House?

Mitch Jackson's avatar

He doesn't. The Department of Justice and this Congress won't do anything. That's why the midterms are so damn important. Justice isn't always fast but it can be complete and thorough with the right people doing the oversight and pulling the levers. I do see that happening in 2027, 2028.
