Wow. A group of former judges is calling on the court that oversaw Trump's bullshit IRS lawsuit to examine whether the "settlement" creating the slush fund and giving IRS immunity to Trump, his family, and his businesses constituted fraud on the court.

"The ruling came after a bipartisan group of 35 former federal judges asked Judge Kathleen M. Williams to investigate the circumstances of Trump's questionable settlement"

Well, you know what that means, don't you?

The DOJ is preparing another 35 indictments!

In Texas state court a "nonsuit" (plaintiff's motion to voluntarily dismiss) is self effecting and generally non-reviewable. www.google.com

In federal court it's a bit more complicated. www.google.com

I hope there are many people out there as cynical as I am about how the legal system handles a dictator wannabe. The truth of the matter is, MAGA and the billionaire billies, sorry, bullies, got him back in the White House to destroy our constitutional republic not save it. The damage has been done, SS and medicare and medicaid and the Defense Department and the Department of Education, and Health and Human Services, and so many other needed protections for the American people...murdered.

The Judge did not appear to have a good opinion about the so-called "settlement."

... A federal judge ordered US President Donald Trump to respond to "grievous allegations" that his deal with the government to create a US$1.8 billion fund to resolve his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service was the result of a "fraud" on the court. ...

Good. Coming up is another round of humiliation for DOJ lawyers p, who in private practice would be known as first year associates. Unless they too quit to become public defenders, so as to clear the stain on their resumes ...
