The IRS taking taxpayer dollars and allotting it to people who have been victimized by our government will NOT prevent it happening again. It’s NOT the IRS’ money! Taking American citizens money and paying it out to American citizens accomplished absolutely nothing. This country is so f’d up!
At least one J6er (Nejourde Meacham) killed himself after he was presented with this penalty. He was 22 years old.
It is drawn from the federal Judgment Fund (a permanent appropriation for settling claims against the government) as part of resolving Trump’s $10 billion IRS lawsuit over the unauthorized leak of his tax returns. Trump and his co-plaintiffs (Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization) receive a formal apology but no direct monetary damages; they dropped their suit and other claims in exchange for creating this fund.

This looks like one term of surrender that your govt has had to put in place because of the long train of abuses and usurpations that’s been happening, especially since Trump came down an escalator.
