Who said anything about any original legal documents from the trial? I certainly didn't. I was pointing out that Mr. Cryer's arguments weren't just some inane ramblings from a disgruntled taxpayer. They are actually very nicely explained and referenced. The point was that the IRS lawyers were unable to come up with any legal reasoning to counter his arguments.
Like it or not, the tactics worked and should encourage us to study them as a means of further limiting a Federal entity that has way too much abusive power.
I am interested in the fact that someone managed to do something against the IRS that was unthinkable twenty years ago. I am further interested in whether or not those four agents named in the lawsuit did violate federal law during the investigation. If so, they must be held accountable and that should be used as a precendent to hold accountable any other agents who may violate federal law in the future.

In other words, you believe everything Mr. Cryer posts without any independent verification and you would be willing to risk huge fines or jail time on that basis alone?
All I have every asked for on these threads is a link to the original legal documents on this dispute. NO ONE so far has been able to do that. Doesn’t that raise any questions?
