A judge late Wednesday signed off on the settlement between the IRS and hundreds of tea party groups, closing out the last major legal battle over what all sides now agree was unwarranted and illegal targeting for political purposes.
The IRS agreed to pay $3.5 million to groups that were wronged by the intrusive inspections, and insists its made changes so that political targeting cant occur in the future.
A few issues are still being fought over in the courts including whether former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lerner will be allowed to forever shield her deposition explaining her behavior from public view, and whether the IRS should pay attorney fees but this weeks decision closes out five years of litigation over the targeting itself.
It shows that when a government agency desires to target citizens based on their viewpoints, a price will be paid, said Edward Greim, the lawyer who led the class action case in federal court in Cincinnati.

“I have never filed THAT late.”
Like that matters. 2017 got filed Apr 17 2018. Not a peep on that one either to date.
It seems to be a new pattern against paper filers without hired agents like H+R.
I have filed the last 8 years myself, always late as I dont owe. Never had this delay. Normally it was a month and done.
YES irs should pay Legal Fees. And yes I know these payouts are REALLY OUR TAX $$$. We are screwed already on the 3.5 Million so what are a few Lawyers Fees.
IMO the SKANK SHOULD DO A LONG JAIL SENTENCE. And NOT in some Resort Jail...

This should also be of some help with the Alex Jones situation Jim Posted here on FR. I know the ISP isnt a government entity but it does bring in the 1A on the Freedom of Speech.
Start at the top of the Obama admin and work down taking away pensions until enough is collected for proper restititution
Thanks upchuck.

Great...so taxpayers get to foot the bill of the payout. The punishment isnt felt by the people who perpetrated the awful behavior.
Every cent the government has came from you and me. So when it comes time to pay a fine, taxpayer dollars have to be used.
Where else do you think the gvt can get $$ to pay?
Prison time for gvt employees who break the law is a great idea that’s not used nearly often enough.
