It looks like at least one person in our judicial system remembers that they serve the people, not the government.
Ruling in favor of North Carolina convenience store owner Lyndon McLellan, US District Judge James Fox said that the government is to cover the full cost of the legal fees and expenses he accrued defending himself in court. The amount to be paid is estimated to come in at over $20,000.
McLellan’s legal problems arose in May of 2014 when the IRS raided his bank account and seized $107,700 from it. Shortly after taking McLellan’s money however, the government ceased all action against McLellan on account of Justice Department policy changes and returned the money to him.
During the period the IRS was holding his money, McLellan prepared to sue the government only to find himself saddled with a considerable bill after his case was suddenly dropped. Feeling that he shouldn’t have to pay for the government’s mistake, he filed suit.

Shut the Damn IRS down, all they are are money grabbers that support$#%&!@*that doesn’t have nothing to do with us!!
This stuff happens way more than we realize (asset forfeiture before you have been convicted of a crime). The idea is to clean you out so you can’t afford to defend yourself. Many times they do it before you have even been charged with a crime. Meanwhile, prosecutors get bonuses based on how much they can take from people.
Good!
I have six children, at $2.70 for lunch at school= $16.70 daily. With that being said, with the new lunch laws, my kids come home hungry many days.
Karen Shelton bless you –
Why have we NOT done away with the IRS yet? They are a corrupt power hungry institution, who have outlived their time.
The US Government is the biggest crime syndicate in the world and they hate for their victims to be armed.
Think they care, all they do is take it from the tax payers. No skin off their backs.
This administration is dirty.
Good!
