There’s a Way to Stop Trump’s #IRS #SlushFund
by #JamieRaskin
These days it takes a spectacular burst of #corruption to get the attention of our scandal-weary nation, but #Trump & his admin have managed, once again, to transfix Americans by establishing a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund in the #DOJ that will undoubtedly be used to line the pockets of Trump’s partisans & foot soldiers — with your tax dollars.

Blanche will face questions from #Congress over a nearly $1.8B fund to compensate #Trump allies
Acting AG #ToddBlanche will appear on Capitol Hill for his first congressional testimony since taking over #DOJ. The agency faces intense scrutiny over plans to create a $1.776 billion fund to pay allies of Trump who believe they were political targets.

Umm… say what now???
🚨🚨🚨
The agreement the #DOJ made with #Trump to settle his lawsuit against the #IRS includes a provision BARRING the agency from pursuing #tax claims against Trump, his family or his businesses. The new provision was released a day after DOJ agreed to settle Trump’s lawsuit by creating a $1.8 billion compensation fund for people *he believes* were wronged by federal investigations or prosecutions.

#Jan6 Police Officers Sue to Block #Trump $1.8 Billion #SlushFund
2 officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, sued the Trump admin to try to stop the creation of a $1.8 bn fund they argue would benefit #insurgents who committed violence to support Trump. The lawsuit argues the admin exceeded its authority to create the fund without #Congress’s authorization.

Senate Republicans appeared increasingly unlikely to meet their self-imposed deadline for passing a ~$70 billion immigration enforcement bill as disputes over “security” funding for the Trump #ballroom & the $1.8 billion #MAGASlushFund derailed progress.

Ex-prosecutor & other “#Trump critics” [sane humans who believe in the #law] sue to block payouts from $1.8B 'anti-weaponization' #SlushFund
A coalition of “Trump’s critics”, including a fired prosecutor & a college professor acquitted of assaulting federal agents at a protest, sued Friday to block payouts from the $1.776 billion “settlement” fund for Trump allies claiming to be victims of a weaponized government.

We now have a transaction that is corrupt self-dealing simply unheard of in United States history:
Nonilex -- @Nonilex
"This is a FOREVER thing!
As part of the #settlement agreement, the #US is “forever barred & precluded” from examining or prosecuting #Trump, his sons & the #TrumpOrganization’s current #tax issues, according to the one-page document posted to the #DOJ’s website on Tuesday.
"...the US is “forever barred & precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons & the TrumpOrganization’s current #tax issues..."
"forever barred"
This is not "get out of jail free"
It's nothing less than "continue your corruption for as much as you can steal, for as long as you can continue stealing it"
Is there simply no way to control, to rein-in such obvious Trump Family corruption?

🚨🚨🚨
A federal judge in Virginia has temporarily blocked #Trump #SlushFund
The order from US District Judge Leonie Brinkema says the admin cannot take any action “pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; & the disbursing of any funds from the Fund.”

I should think so since 2 courts have ordered it so.
#Trump's 'weaponization' #SlushFund is on hold, sources say
…On Friday, federal judges in Virginia & Florida dealt the admin a pair of blows, issuing orders that temporarily halted the fund until June 12 & called for further review.
In a statement Monday, a #DOJ spox said the DOJ "disagrees strongly" with the temporary halting of the fund but, "the Department will abide by the Court's ruling."

#ToddBlanche’s announcement that he plans to kill the anti-weaponization #SlushFund but keep in place a deal that shields #Trump from past #tax #liability [#fraud] is likely to break the #Senate impasse over passage of an #immigration bill.
But the tax agreement—which could save Trump >$100 million, per a NYT analysis—could be highly damaging for #Republicans forced to defend that they supported a deal that enriches a billionaire with #TaxpayersMoney.

Minority leader Sen Chuck Schumer introduced the motion as the Senate considered #Republicans’ $70 billion #immigration enforcement bill. #ToddBlanche, the acting AG, previously said the fund was dead, but Trump expressed his support for it as recently as Wednesday, saying, “I love it.”

#Trump Saturday said that he would “push hard” to enact #legislation that would offer #payouts to people “badly treated” by the #Obama & #Biden admins, his latest threat to resurrect his illegal #SlushFund.
“It will immediately be back on the table, & I will get it done,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, vowing to pass “the Anti-Weaponization Bill.”
