Did the IRS actually admit wrong doing? I work on many corporate settlement agreements and one it is a point to ensure that the settling party specifically state in writing that they do not admit wrong doing or liability of any sort.

It doesn’t matter either way, but now I’m curious.

Yes, they apologized and admitted wrongdoing as part of a settlement in 2017 per reports.

Speaking of lies about 2020: Dinesh D'Souza has admitted that "2000 Mules" was false and misleading.

Not exactly. This what D'Souza admitted.

“True the Vote provided my team with ballot drop box surveillance footage that had been obtained through open records requests. We were assured that the surveillance videos had been linked to geolocation cell phone data, such that each video depicted an individual who had made at least 10 visits to drop boxes,” D’Souza writes. “We recently learned that surveillance videos used in the film may not have actually been correlated with the geolocation data.”

In other words: he's trying to cover his a** from a defamation lawsuit.

Maybe but he's not denouncing "2000 Mules" which I assume is a documentary. He's saying only that at least one video presented is misleading.

So, he was lazy and careless and ruined a man's name.

A great fellow you're defending, there.

No defense - just looking to present accurate statements instead of made-up BS.

The film was based on false information; he's admitting that; and apologizing for it.

Dunno how else it can be seen as anything else than "he was full of sh*t and admits it".
