“Trump sues IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over leaked tax records.”
Any number of people have suggested that Trump has no case, so DOJ will probably settle the case for $20 billion.
Todd Blanch losing all credibility in one fell swoop.
On top of saying they have no idea who patronized Epstein’s bordello, he says “Men abusing girls? What does that mean?” It means you are the worst kind of toady, Mr. Blanche. The worst.
1) We should have a law that keeps POTUS from suing the govt while in office. The conflict of interest is way too obvious.
2) Had the news on while baking. Trump threatened severe action against Iran if they keep killing protestors. That goes beyond irony. What about our protestors? America First?

That Pew poll amused me with the thought that there were 4 points worth of folks that thought Trump (very much, extremely) respected democratic values, but thought he only somewhat acted ethically in office.
I figure that 20 percent that says he acts ethically are basically acting out of defiance, and lowered standards.
@steve222:
How in the holy hell can the US President sue the the US govt?
If a British PM tried to sue the Crown the entire judiciary would die laughing.
And Parliament would spend half an afternoon giggling before removing said PM from office.
US politics and law is really odd, sometimes. 😉
@Jay L. Gischer:
Got to account for those who think respecting democratic values means acting unethically.
“I elected him to be a unethical incompetent a@@hole! And he is fulfilling my democratic wishes!”
I wonder if there are any NSDAP voter satisfaction polls, from Germany, 1934.
