There is a difference between "income taxes" and "damages" resulting from a civil infringement/contractual breach. If LA or his team (US Postal) violated the terms of their contract with the US Postal Service (a taxpayer owned entity), then the DOJ's civil division is obligated to recover some damages, provided it's a feasible case, and there is enough/substantial money to be recovered.
