In January, Trump, along with his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, sued the IRS and Treasury Department for at least $10 billion. The lawsuit accuses the IRS of an unauthorized leak of their tax returns from his first presidency.

Trump’s lawsuit alleges that the IRS failed to protect confidential tax information and the tax information of the Trump Organization. Charles Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor, was sentenced to five years in prison for leaking Trump’s tax records, along with the records of thousands of others.

Trump sued the IRS in his capacity as a citizen, not as the president.

A bit of lawfare BACK, innit?! And look how the TDS kids squeal! Cheesy

[/quote]

Can you explain how those convicted in Court of attacking Police and breaking into the Capitol building are victims? [/quote]

Critics, including President Donald Trump and various conservative legal advocacy groups, describe the legal actions as selective prosecution and a "political witch hunt".
The primary claims include:
Political Bias and Weaponisation: Critics argue that the Department of Justice (DOJ) applied a double standard, treating the January 6 defendants with harshness while treating left-wing protesters from the 2020 civil unrest more leniently.

Overcharging and Civil Rights Concerns: Defense advocates argue that many individuals who simply walked through open doors or committed minor trespassing were unfairly hit with severe federal felony charges, such as obstruction of an official proceeding. Concerns were also raised regarding the prolonged pre-trial detention of some defendants in Washington, D.C., facilities. [/quote]

Really?

Who were these people?

Names and charges? [/quote]

According to Department of Justice data cited by legal analysts, out of approximately 1,270 convicted individuals, 1,009 pleaded guilty. These pleas range from low-level misdemeanors (like illegally demonstrating or parading in the Capitol) to severe felonies (like conspiracy).

So they pleaded guilty, they by their own admission are criminals.
But the trump morons now want to claim they are victims.
You lot are laughable, twist and turn to whatever your criminal in charge tells you to say.
No wonder trump supporters are seen as stupid.

I cannot fathom how Congressional Republicans can support Trump's creation (well, Todd Blanche really) of a $1.8bn slush fund to provide "compensation" to his allies, including the thousands of people convicted and then pardoned by Trump for their role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol building. Astoundingly, Trump continues to proclaim that those J6'ers were victimised by a weaponised Justice Department and that they were wrongly imprisoned. Can you imagine being a Capitol Police Officer and reading about this in the newspapers or watching this on the evening news bulletin? They must be beyond angry and feeling utterly let down.

Frank must be talking about these law-abiding, misunderstood people. The doors were locked so they borrowed a Police shield and used it to open the window and walked through the now open window. Perfectly unfair to be charged over this, right?

Come come, Greggery, the old boy's now getting Gemini to write his posts, but do you know?

One can just use Gemini to provide the source. Here's one:

Quote:

It’s a common refrain from some of those charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and their Republican allies: The Justice Department is treating them harshly because of their political views while those arrested during last year’s protests over racial injustice were given leniency.

Court records tell a different story.

https://www.theindianalawyer.com/articles/records-rebut-claims-of-unequal-treatm...

But of course they do. Besides, when the old boy's AI source was published in August 2021, most of the charges were still under investigation.

Quote:

Only a handful of the nearly 600 people charged in the insurrection have received their punishments so far, and just three people have been sentenced to time behind bars. The vast majority of the most serious cases — involving those accused of assaulting police officers or conspiring to block the certification of Biden’s victory — remain unresolved.

And from the source's source:

Quote:

Conservatives have sought to equate the attack on the Capitol with the Black Lives Matter protests, accusing Democrats of being hypocrites for not denouncing the violence after Floyd’s death as loudly as the Jan. 6 insurrection. And some Republicans have seized on the handling of the protest cases in Portland to suggest that the Jan. 6 defendants are being politically persecuted.

In the Capitol riot, dozens of defendants have been charged only with misdemeanors, and a standard plea deal has allowed many to plead guilty to a single count of demonstrating in the Capitol.

An Indiana woman who admitted illegally entering the Capitol but didn’t participate in any violence or destruction avoided jail time, and two other misdemeanor defendants got one and two months of home confinement. Two other people who were locked up pretrial were released after pleading guilty to misdemeanors and serving six months in jail.

Only one defendant convicted of a felony has received his punishment so far. Paul Hodgkins, who breached the U.S. Senate chamber carrying a Trump campaign flag, was ordered to serve eight months behind bars.

https://apnews.com/article/records-rebut-claims-jan-6-rioters-55adf4d46aff57b91a...

So there you have it. Not only is the old boy a naughty old plagiarist, he's a mendacious one at that. His sources say the exact opposite of his butthurt claims.

Only in America, eh?
