The Justice Department is reportedly exploring a novel and innovative new legal doctrine in which the president sues the government he controls, then orders that same government to pay him with your money.
The New York Times reported that the DOJ is considering settling the $10 billion lawsuit that Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his 2019 tax returns. Trump contended in the lawsuit that the IRS should have done more to prevent his returns from being publicized.
"Mr. Trump has long maintained that the federal government was weaponized against him by political opponents, and he has spent much of his second term seeking retribution against, and sometimes compensation from, those he holds responsible," the report reads in part. "But depending on its terms, a settlement with the I.R.S. could be among Mr. Trump's most brazen efforts to bend the government to his personal will — an agenda often carried out through the Justice Department."

In days now a memory, the US government would attempt to hide behind a curtain or fake mustache; now, corruption is a live stream.
I guess justice isn't just blind, now it's stupid.
