The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has withdrawn a lien on Roger Stone for over $1 million after President Donald Trump, a longtime friend, commuted his 3-year prison sentence.
Detroit News court reporter Robert Snell on Monday revealed documents which showed the IRS had erased a lien that was placed on Stone after he failed to pay $1,035,319.95 in income taxes dating back to 2007.

OP
They didn't have to do this, so someone told them to. This looks like corruption.

Is it legal what they did? (they have the authority to do this on their own?)

It's not their SOP.

Trump has his toady running the IRS now. Charles Rettig is as dirty as they come. Not only did he hide the money he personally makes off of trump properties, he has massively cut the IRS headcount and crippled its ability to audit the wealthy (specifically, wealthy trump doners and trump himself.)

I simply dont believe that the IRS did this without a legal reason to do so. Trump cannot make it happen.
