2. Trump's grounds for action are that the IRS willfully allowed the leaker to release the returns

Here's Trump's problem in a nutshell: If the IRS would have willfully allowed Charles Littlejohn, the contract employee in question, to release the returns they wouldn't have then had him locked up for the very act Trump is suing over.

My recommendation: dismiss with prejudice, sanction for filing a frivolous lawsuit, award reasonable attorney fees to the IRS out of Trump's personal funds.
