Judge Kathleen Williams ruled that .

Plus according to
26 U.S. Code § 7217 - Prohibition on executive branch influence over taxpayer audits and other investigations
(a) Prohibition
It shall be unlawful for any applicable person to request, directly or indirectly, any officer or employee of the Internal Revenue Service to conduct or terminate an audit or other investigation of any particular taxpayer with respect to the tax liability of such taxpayer.

That's all that's necessary to obtain full exemption from IRS tax audits forever.

Got it. Now please call me at: 867-5309 with the necessary IRS form numbers.

Thanks, Jenny.
