This is a weakening of the IRS as an institution, and yet more destruction by Trump of the principles and norms in the US. Punishing the investigations and rewarding his allies, further emboldening the naked corruption seen throughout his second term. A truly terrible sign for stability in the US, and another precedent that will be increasingly difficult to restore after the midterms or in a future Democratic presidency.
This kind of blatant corruption is anathema to stability and prosperity, as is this ruling through threats and lawsuits to any perceived Trump enemies.

> The commission overseeing the compensation fund would have the total authority to hand out approximately $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds to settle claims brought by anyone who alleges they were harmed by the Biden administration’s “weaponization” of the legal system, including the nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack as well as potentially entities associated with President Trump himself
