So what should be the proper punishment for the IRS and their mishandling of this situation?
The theft and disclosure of Trump's income tax data was the fault of an independent contractor, who is currently in prison.
One question is whether the IRS can even be held liable for the independent contractor's actions. I believe it can, but only if you show the IRS's actions were unreasonable under the circumstances.
Obviously the IRS security measures were insufficient, since the data got out, but insufficient is not the same as unreasonable. Reasonable security measures can fail, and its the fault of the criminal, not the security measures.
I have no idea whether the IRS acted reasonably.
There is also the question of the 2 year statute of limitations and whether that expired before Trump filed his suit. That is a legal question regarding when the two years started. I think the 2 tears started when Trump learned of the breach in 2022, meaning his case is time barred. Trump says the 2 years started in 2024 when he received notice from the IRS regarding its internal investigation. I dont know which argument wins.
Given all that, if the IRS were found liable, then obviously it would need to take corrective measures, including firing anyone responsible. Some of those measures have already been taken.
Trump is entitled to monetary damages. He claims the statutory damages are $10B, which is absurd. The statutory damages are $1,000 per disclosure. Data involving Trump, his two sons, and the Trump Organization were disclosed for multiple years. Even if you count each document as a separate offense, the statutory damages likely do not exceed $100,000.
Trump is free to prove his actual damages from the breach...damages to his reputation and brand, maybe emotional distress...but that would be a few million, not billion.

Is there any truth behind the weaponization claims of this administration?
Thats a matter of opinion. But as I have stated in this thread, anyone who believes they have been a victim of weaponization is free to file their own lawsuit, and Im sure Trump will direct the DOJ to offer them a generous settlement. And Congress won't even try to stop him.

Havent you learned anything from Trump yet
This was bait to expose the swampish 20 Republican senators who opposed it, it also exposed the Deep State lawyers still in the DOJ
The storm is coming. And they will be outside.
I've learned that he has brainwashed his supporters to turn every failure into a win.
You people are beyond saving at this point

This would be the 286th storm that's produced no rain so far.

Do you feel that any of the people imprisoned after the Jan 6th incident have a case or anyone anywhere?

Probably lip service to get those worthless senators to calm down and pass a bill.
They went absolutely batshit over this. More so than anything else I’ve seen them care about.

The Trump administration plans to drop its controversial $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund
Where does Trump say that? I've seen nothing from him about it.

It has been attributed to "someone close to the situation" on Bloomberg.

You think he really needed to pull this off to find out who is against him? This sounds like Qtard to be honest.

Good rundown...Proving financial damage would be difficult given Trump & his family's tremendous net worth growth over the past few years.
Posted on 6/2/26 at 4:38 pm to RelicBatches86
People on this website don't think that way. It's always either black or white here on the legendary TigerDoppings.

I honestly dont know what constitutes "weaponization", but I think many of the Jan. 6 participants can make a case for civil rights violations. And even if their case is weak the DOJ can settle with them.
I wouldnt want to see them get paid for case that is time barred or legally specious, though.

The asshat who agreed to give it to him works for Trump, and was just following orders from his boss.

To suggest nothing happened and that the Biden DOJ did not weaponize the law against Americans is inaccurate. However, creating a new system that is untested is problematic.
Therefore, I am proposing that we create a weaponization fund that will be available to those who can prove their claim against the federal government through the Federal Tort Claims Act. We have a legal system already in place for people to make claims against the government. That does not need to be reinvented.
However, it is imperative that we allow people with meritorious weaponization claims to come forward and receive compensation through this fund. We have to recognize there was a wrong that must be made right if you can prove your claim through the existing process.
