A group of former officials with the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to scrutinize a controversial deal that granted President Donald Trump and his family sweeping immunity from past tax audits.

They alleged that the deal to resolve Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax documents in exchange for immunity from past audits was “unprecedented and breathtakingly improper.”

    Yes it did. It all goes away, and the lawyers may lose their licenses. There is no settlement, because there was no case, and lawyers are likely to be sanctioned over it, and possibly lose their licenses (they won’t, but they’ll sweat it out for a while).

    The slush fund and the immunity deal are officially dead. Now we should investigate how this all happened, who made the decision to actually attempt this ridiculous operation, and put them in prison.
