Legal experts tell The Independent that the agreement is a blatant and illegal act of self-dealing by the administration.
"There is a federal crime that prohibits exactly what the president did, and for exactly this reason, to prevent a corrupt president from using the IRS to their own advantage," according to UC Berkeley Law professor Brian Galle, a former federal prosecutor with the Justice Department's Tax Division.

An audit centered on a nearly $73 million tax refund Trump claimed around 2010, which the former real estate developer and reality TV host justified by reporting steep business losses, largely tied to his casino holdings and his Chicago skyscraper.
The IRS contended that Trump improperly claimed the same losses twice for the Chicago tower, where he reported losses of up to $651 million.
So, Trumper idiots, is he a giant fraud and conman or just a really s*&^ty bithnithman?
