Trump makes 1:38 AM EMERGENCY FILING over “HIS SUFFERING”
Donald Trump made an absolutely deranged. emergency filing at 1:38 a.m. to the. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Donald. Trump was demanding that he be able to. continue to refer to that unlawful. settlement agreement that he entered. into with the IRS and the Treasury. Department as a settlement agreement. You'll recall previously Judge Kathleen. Williams issued an order that the. so-called settlement agreement was. collusive, that it was essentially.
predicated on fraud, and that it could. not be referred to as a settlement. agreement. That took place in connection. with the case before her federal court. where Donald Trump sued back in January. of 2026 for $10 billion. Judge Kathleen Williams said the federal. case was a sham, and it was basically. being done by Donald Trump in essence to. pilfer from the taxpayers and then enter. into this collusive settlement.
agreement. Donald Trump is now filing an. emergency appeal to the 11th Circuit. saying that he wants to be able to refer. to the so-called the collusive. settlement agreement. He wants to be. able to say this is a real settlement. agreement. He's saying that he's. suffering. That's why he had to file it. at 1:38. He says every day that he can. refer to what took place as a settlement. agreement and in essence not pay his. taxes because the settlement agreement.
waves his obligations basically to pay. taxes from the date of the settlement. agreement going back or what it says is. you can't do any criminal or civil. investigations or audits into him not. paying taxes. And remember that was. something that he wanted to preserve and. protect and the MAGA Republicans in the. Senate basically allowed him to get away. with that in terms of confirming Todd. Blanchett. The federal judge in the. Southern District of Florida said, "Uh-uh, this is an unlawful settlement.
agreement." is what she said a few weeks. back. Then, you will recall that in. Virginia, the same group of plaintiffs. who sued Donald Trump to block the. January 6th slush fund, and there was an. injunction issued to block that. They've. amended their camp They've amended their. complaint, and they cited the prior. order by Judge Kathleen Williams, and. they said, "Look, this federal judge. ruled the settlement agreement was. unlawful and collusive, and she referred. the lawyers of Donald Trump to the state.
bar for an ethics investigation. So, therefore, Donald Trump should not be. able to get. tax immunity, and Trump's kids should. not get tax immunity, and Trump's trusts. and Trump's organizations should not get. tax immunity based on a collusive. settlement agreement." So, they uh filed. an amended complaint in Virginia federal. court citing what took place in the. Southern District of Florida. So, then. at 1:38 a.m., Donald Trump said,
"Emergency, I'm suffering at 1:30." And. I kid you not, he said that he is. suffering professionally right now. "We. need your help, 11th Circuit Court of. Appeals. You need to stay and pause. Federal Judge Kathleen Williams' order. that prevents us from saying this is a. real settlement agreement. We want to. say it's a settlement agreement. We want. to enforce it. And by the way, to all of. those MAGA Republican senators who were. like, 'Oh, well, Todd Blanche, he says. that he's not going to revive the. January 6th fund.' Well, they want to.
make it clear that that settlement. agreement is in effect right now. That's. the 1:38 a.m. filing where Trump asked. the 11th Circuit stay all further. action, pause everything that the lower. court Federal Judge Kathleen Williams is. doing." And when that You say, "Well, Ben, where do you say that he's. suffering?" Look at page 19. Here on the. Midas Touch network, we look at the. footnotes. We read every damn page. One. of the best of pieces of advice to me. when I was becoming a lawyer was a law.
firm partner said, "Hey Ben, you have to. have a a hard ass when you're a lawyer.". I like, "What do you mean by that?". You're going to have to sit in your seat. and you're going to have to sit in an. office and you're going to have to read. the damn opinions. Not give your. opinion, read the opinions, read the. motions, read the footnotes. So, let's. take a look at it. This is Donald. Trump's emergency time sensitive motion. for stay of sanctions order and fee. proceedings by Donald Trump, Eric Trump, the Trump Organization, and Trump's. lawyers and Don Jr. The movements The.
movements, meaning Trump, his kids, the. Trump Organizations, are suffering. irreparable harm right now. Page 19. Think about what a pathetic weasel this. guy is, right? He is so terrified of. Iran that he's sneaking out through. catering trucks in Turkey. and pretending he was on Air Force One. But, look what a weak thing he is. He's. He's saying he's suffering irreparable. harm because the settlement agreement. has been voided where he can.
get tax immunity. So, now he can't get. tax immunity. even though he's going to try to claim. it anyway with Todd Blanche. The. sanctions order is inflicting. constitutional and professional injuries. that no later reversal can repair. A. stay will mitigate this damage. First, the prior restraint clearly supports a. stay because the loss of First Amendment. freedoms for even minimal periods of. time uncons- unquestionably constitutes.
irreparable injury. What a freaking damn. snowflake this guy is, huh? What a. pathetic weak freaking loser he is. Oh, you've infringed on my First Amendment. right to refer to a collusive unlawful. agreement as the settlement. My rights. are taken away. Shut up, freaking loser. He goes on to say, "Second, the. professional sanctions on the attorneys. inflict equally irreparable harm because. the court's findings carry an immediate.
judicial imprimatur." Yeah, when you. file a case in federal court, guess what. happens? That's called a freaking order. It has a judicial imprimatur. It's. called an order. That's what happens. every day in court, you freaking losers. "Mr. Brito was referred to disciplinary. authorities, tarnishing his reputation. and imposing career-altering. consequences. No later reversal can. fully undo." Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Wow. Then it goes Even my dog's like,
"Oh my gosh." Then it goes on to state, "The public interest supports a stay of. the sanctions order and related. proceedings. The public interest" We're. doing this just for the people. This is. what the American taxpayers want. They. want Donald Trump to have tax immunity. That's what the the public interest. demands it. The public interest strongly. favors suspending sanctions orders. because it punishes legal advocacy. It. suppresses speech. It improperly. disciplines counsel without due process.
and it restricts plaintiffs and the. government in future official. proceedings. A stay will preserve. meaningful appellate review appellate. review and prevent irreversible harm. while this court considers the appeal.". The public The public The American. people are being harmed. Donald Trump. wants his tax immunity right now, everybody. How pathetic. The public? How dare you? "This appeal arises from the District. Court's extraordinary abuse of its.
sanctions power. In this action, Donald. Trump, Don Jr., Eric Trump, and the. Trump organization sued the IRS and the. Department of Treasury pursuant to a. congressionally authorized remedy over. the undeniably authorized and illegal. disclosure of their confidential tax. return information to the press. After. reaching a settlement with the IRS and. Treasury, plaintiffs voluntarily. dismissed the action, which the court so. ordered. After 35 former judges moved.
under rule 60 to improperly reopen the. case, falsely alleging fraud on the court, the. court wrongly decided that the president. cannot sue the federal government in his. personal capacity, and that this. prohibition somehow extended to his. sons, who are private citizens, and his. business, which is no longer running. What do you mean his business is no. longer His sons are running the. business. Dude is making billions of. dollars. And the court's order isn't. that you can't file a lawsuit, although.
no former president, while they were in. office, would ever conceive of such a. thing. It was that the way the lawsuit. was carried out was clearly collusive. You filed a lawsuit after the statute of. limitations, where the alleged harm took. place when Donald Trump was in office. during his first term. So, he's. ultimately the supervisor of the alleged. employee, where the tax information. leaked. It wasn't just Donald Trump's. taxes. It was hundreds of thousands of. other people. There is no remedy. Trump.
Trump has no claim. As I said, the. statute of limitations passed by years. Even if you had a claim, at most the. damages are $1,000. max damages. So, no, the way it and so. any normal, non-collusive litigation, the. Department of Justice, on behalf of the. Treasury Department and the IRS, would. easily file a motion to dismiss and. probably rule 11 sanctions for the case. being filed in the first place. There.
would not even be any conceivable. concept of a settlement agreement. So, when the court assessed the totality of. the circumstances, the court said this. was a fraudulent deal. This settlement. agreement was tainted from the outset. And by the way, you all dismissed the. case from me, the federal judge. You. didn't alert me of a settlement. Then in. the settlement agreement, you drafted. the agreement by citing the case and. citing the judge as though I gave you. the judicial imprimatur that I blessed.
this settlement agreement when I never. agreed to the settlement. That's what. the judge said. So, what the hell is. this crapping again? Isn't this such a. loser behavior? 1:38 a.m. they're filing. this. Then they go on to say, "Even. worse, the court improperly treated the. filing of the complaint as proof of. collusion and bad faith, neither of. which existed." The court did not deem. the filing of the complaint to proof. The court deemed the way the damn case. was carried out. The complaint was one. indicia of it. Donald Trump suing after. the statute of limitations expired on a.
case where the max remedy any event. would be $1,000. But it wasn't just, "Oh, you filed the complaint, therefore. fraud." It was how the whole behavior. went down in front of the court. So, just be freaking honest with what's. taken place. Oh, wait. All you all do is. lie, no matter what, all of the time. Time about everything. The theory. underlying the sanctions order is wrong. Trump sued in his personal capacity. alongside his sons and the Trump. organization to vindicate their own. statutory rights over the theft and.
release of their tax information. Trump. was in office then. And this has. happened to hundreds of thousands of. other people, and the remedy's 1,000. bucks, and you blew the statute of. limitations. The IRS and the Treasury. represented the US separate interests. The court wrongly held that Article 2. collapsed those distinct interests into. one. A fully realized unitary interest, somehow eliminating adversity. altogether. No. If the Treasury. Department and the IRS filed a motion to.
dismiss and raise the argument that any. actually practicing lawyer would have. raised, maybe there wouldn't be the. collusion. The court waited to see, ah, that's what this plan was, to use my. court to give the stamp of approval to. this collusive agreement. Nah-uh, the. court ain't going to be used to aid and. abet this behavior. Then then they go on to say, "Long-running illegal and politically. motivated conduct precipitated this. action." And they talk about how this. went down when Trump was in office in.
2019 and 2020. Procedural history. leading to the improper sua sponte. sanctions. You know, one of the things. that they repeatedly mentioned is they. said, "The parties are good with the. settlement agreement. The plaintiff and. the defendant didn't ask the court, didn't ask Judge Williams for the remedy. that Judge Williams ultimately gave.". Yeah, that's why Judge Williams said it. was collusive, because they should have. asked for the remedy if they were. non-collusive. The fact that you have. Trump suing Trump Trump suing the Trump.
government, where Trump controls via. executive order all of the way the legal. processes work from the Treasury. Department and the IRS, and then they. behave the way they do. Yeah, the judge. is aware that plaintiffs and defendants. both want a stay, that plaintiffs and. defendants wanted to improperly end, as. the court says, unlawfully utilize the. federal court as a. for the trappings of legitimacy to this.
collusive agreement. But but that's how. they tried to frame this thing. It goes. uh it goes over here. It says, "On. January 29th, 2026, plaintiffs timely. filed a complaint." And false, it wasn't. timely filed, well past the statute of. limitations. "On April 17th, the parties. jointly sought additional time for. defendants to respond, explaining they. were negotiating a resolution of this. action." Oh, Trump negotiating with. Trump. Oh, that makes a lot of sense. That was a massive red flag right there.
What would you. Why wouldn't they just file a motion to. dismiss? That's what any sane Department. of Justice would have done. On May 18th, plaintiffs, the Trumps, voluntarily dismissed the action with. prejudice. The dismissal extinguished. the claims. The court canceled the. jurisdictional briefing deadline and. closed the case. Okay, well, if you. extinguish the claims, if the if the dismissal extinguish the. claims, then why would you enter into a. settlement agreement for extinguished.
claims that don't exist? How does that. make any sense? Oh, wait a minute. Then. And why would the settlement agreement. reference the filing of the case and. reference the court and say the. settlement is in conjunction with claims. that were filed? But you're saying it. was extinguished. So, if you have. extinguished claims, what are you. settling then? Doesn't that also Doesn't this filing. prove the collusion at 1:30? They're not. even good at this. They're not even good. at Doesn't the argument collapse right. there? Nine days later, 35 former judges.
under Rule 60 moved to improperly reopen. the case alleging fraud on the court. Federal judges on a bipartisan basis. alleged the fraud on the court. Then. they go on to say, "Each of the federal. court's findings of collusion, improper. purpose, and bad faith flow from a. single predicate legal error that. presidential supervision under Article 2. supposedly eliminated Article 3. adversary." This is wrong. Your argument. is wrong. That's not what the court.
said. The court didn't say, "In every. single circumstance, a president can't. file a lawsuit." It would be It's odd. and pathetic that you would in your. individual capacity file a lawsuit, but. the court looked at all of the. circumstances surrounding this and said, "Because you engaged in this behavior, you didn't file the motion to dismiss, you said it was with prejudice, you. entered into the settlement agreement. You cited the court's name. All these. circumstances equal collusive settlement. agreement. Oh, and by the way, who.
signed the settlement agreement? The. signatory was actually not even Donald. Trump. It was a lawyer for Donald Trump. who did not even enter an appearance. into the federal case, who did not even. seek the pro hac v who did not even seek. pro hac v j admissions. So, that So, all. of the circumstances the court looked at. in a very very significant detail. Then it goes on to say, "This court. entered a sweeping unconstitutional gag. order binding the parties and broad. categories of affiliates and referred.
Mr. Brito to the state bar." And it goes. on to talk about how the sanctions order. rests on this legal error. The sanctions. order cannot stand because it punishes. the movants for advancing bonafide legal. positions merely because the court. disagreed. Now, it wasn't a mere. disagreement. I I just I wanted to read. it all to you so you can hear the words, the specific words that Trump is saying. in court at 1:38 a.m. I don't freaking.
care if you're a Democrat, if you're a. Republican, or an independent. If you. care, even a little bit, about law and. order, then that should be a big deal to you. That should be a big freaking deal to. you. This should be making you so damn. livid. I hope I broke it down in a way. that you would appreciate. Hit. subscribe. Pre-order WTF America right. now.
