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.

This judge has my vote for supreme Court justice
Unfortunately we the people will be on the hook for all the expenses. Theses cases should include firing all government employees involved in the action and having them pay the expenses and barred from government employment forever.
Justice served !
You mean there is an honest judge in America. WOW
true
Our gov’t should go back and dust off their history books….if I remember correctly, we threw the Brits out for very similar reasons….people just have to get more in tune to what’s really going on and ignore the manufactured crises that pop up every time something is going down.
This happens more than u think
great.
thank goodness this judge is not in Ovomit’s pockets…good for you Judge
The government stole so much from him, they should have to pay him a million of their vacation pay per day until the guy dies of old age.
