CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

From the article:
From the outset, Judge Williams, an Obama appointee, had profound questions about Mr. Trump’s suit against the I.R.S. Because the president was seeking damages from a part of the federal government that he controlled, the judge was concerned that he was effectively suing himself and was on both sides of the case.
She spent much of her order fleshing out why that was indeed true, ultimately concluding that this suit lacked what all valid lawsuits must have: an actual controversy between two opposing parties. Judge Williams pointed to the fact that the Justice Department never raised several possible defenses to Mr. Trump’s claims, including that he filed the suit after the statute of limitations for doing so. She also highlighted that Mr. Trump has sought total control over the executive branch.

Any lawsuit is self-dealing if you think about it. I do think that the family's desires are over the top compared to past awards for disclosure.

No, usually a lawsuit has opposing sides, plaintiff and defendant who argue against one another. In this case, the two sides were on the same side and colluded to defraud the government. In this case, Trump claimed the government - which he was in charge of at the time - was negligent for having an employee who exposed his tax returns (which he had promised for years and years and years to release himself). The government's supposed lawyer instead of putting up any defense, agreed to an outrageously generous settlement.
