! Senate Judiciary Committee just officially delayed the BLANCHE AG vote, which was scheduled for tomorrow morning. He doesn’t have the votes. Tillis and Cornyn have made clear for weeks and weeks that the DOJ needs to rewrite the Trump/IRS settlement, which still hasn’t happened.

Federal judge Kathleen Williams blew up Tr*mp's IRS immunity deal. She ruled the settlement was unlawful, threw it out, sanctioned Tr*mp's legal team, and referred the matter to the New York bar for possible discipline of Todd Blanche.

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

Trump sued the IRS. His DOJ settled it. Buried in the deal: the IRS can never audit Trump, his kids, or the Trump Org again. A pending audit could’ve cost him $100M+. He paid $750 in taxes in 2016. $750 in 2017. $0 in 2020. You likely paid more than the president. This is corruption as governance.

Trump is considering dropping his $10 billion IRS lawsuit in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion slush fund that he controls (funded by taxpayers) to pay graft, bribes, & kickbacks to allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

McGovern: The Republicans are leveraging the excruciating pain of an international crisis to help rich people who cheat on their taxes. I mean, are you kidding me? Was that hatched at a fundraiser in mar-a-lago? Did some big donor come up and twist somebody's arm pic.twitter.com/PCD1KJYGBR

NEW: The republican Israel funding plan’s IRS cuts will ADD $12.5B to the deficit and has zero funding for Ukraine.
— Mueller, She Wrote (@MuellerSheWrote) November 1, 2023
As I said: it’s a $12.5B gift to their rich friends and Putin.
Let’s be very clear. Weakening the IRS makes it easier for the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

Don’t let House Republicans tell you they’re fighting for working families when their first priority is a giveaway to the powerful & well connected.
Republicans are all in on making it easier for billionaires to cheat on their taxes. https://t.co/2TO0dBZFQW

Having failed to constrain government spending through the democratic process, Republicans have resorted to aiding and abetting tax evasion. https://t.co/C052VdwMno
