Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department in federal court in Miami on Thursday, following the leak of their tax returns by a former IRS employee in 2019 and 2020.

    The judge can’t, it’s not that they won’t. It’s portrayed in the media as refusal but if you actually read what’s in pacer you’ll find out that’s not the case.

    Reinstatement would also be challenging, because the Senate has begun confirming some of their successors.

    Yeah that doesn’t change the fact they were removed illegally nor does it have anything to do with the judge being a factor.

    They don’t need to at this point and it would behoove them to wait as long as possible because back pay is from the time of notice, the judge is technically just helping them make a case for far more backpay.
