This is an excerpt from the documentary Judges Under Fire by Abby Ginzberg and Ken Schneider. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams’ ruled to void IRS’s a $1.776 billion settlement with President Donald Trump. "Lead Plaintiff and Defendants are public servants—the pinnacle of the Executive Branch—sworn to uphold the law, faithfully perform the duties of their office, and protect the interests of the American public. The issue is whether they did so to gild their efforts to gain unprecedented access to the public fisc with the patina of legitimacy. There is nothing “ordinary” about this case; it is the very definition of sui generis." #donaldtrump #judgesunderfire #kathleenwilliams #irstrump #settlement
