  1. The deal also extended unusual tax protections to #Trump, his family & their businesses, shielding them from all past tax claims — an extremely lucrative benefit for Trump who has repeatedly complained about burdensome #IRS audits.

  3. …At issue for both senators is the agreement #ToddBlanche & the #DOJ announced in the spring to resolve #Trump’s lawsuit against the #IRS over the leak of his personal tax returns.
    
The deal, which was NOT approved by a #court, would have created a nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded pool of money to reward people who claim they were victims of politically motivated prosecutions.

  5. Crap. Now #Trump is saying he’ll just wait until #JohnCornyn & #ThomTillis leave the #Senate, & then he’ll re-nominate #ToddBlanche.

    Trump suggested Thursday that he could withdraw Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, as a standoff continues with the 2 Republican senators who are demanding concessions from the admin before supporting Blanche.

  7. #Trump said Thursday he may pull the nomination of #ToddBlanche for Attorney General, looking to avoid concessions to holdout #Republicans. Lawmakers on Wednesday scrapped a planned committee vote after key Republicans demanded more assurances about the “settlement” of Trump’s lawsuit against the #IRS.

    That would give the Trump admin 3 AGs in less than 2 years.

  11. “This answer is, at best, misleading &, at worst, disingenuous. The court was available to review any pleading by any party at any time during this lawsuit,” the judge wrote.

    Another federal judge, Leonie M. Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia, has left alive a lawsuit seeking to dismantle the #SlushFund.

  13. As senators delayed a crucial vote on #ToddBlanche’s nomination to be attorney general over the so-called weaponization fund, a million-dollar payment the #DOJ made to an #AntiAbortion activist underscored how it could still funnel #TaxpayersMoney to people who claim to be victims of government persecution [& whose politics #Trump agrees with].

    Damn right it should be criticised! Grenfell, BSE and the poisoned blood were broad government issues.

    #Partygate is Johnson breaking HIS OWN LAWS during a crisis that he mishandled. Why are we finding his defence when he has knowingly done wrong? 😒

  21. Quite expectably corrupt "Republican" Texan senators acquit "the most corrupt attorney general in Texas history on 16 charges of bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of office."
    Shared values oblige — be it even to obstruct justice.

    "No, the senators weren’t all that concerned about Paxton’s misdeeds. What they are concerned about are a couple of West Texas oil billionaires, Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, who fund many of their campaigns. Christian nationalists dedicated to destroying the Texas public school system, among other far-right aims, they’ll do what it takes to accomplish their mission. Paxton is their point man."

  23. After a 10-day trial, #Texas #AttorneyGeneral #KenPaxton was #acquitted Saturday by the state Senate on 16 charges of #bribery, #unfitness for office & #AbuseOfOffice. He was immediately #reinstated, ending a suspension that began in May w/his #impeachment by the state House.
    
The verdict could propel the #conservative #Republican’s political future at home & potentially on the national stage.

  25. @panamared27401 McCarthy, pseudo-independent puppet & student of insurrectionist #1 has obviously learned to be upset the way the thief of masses of federal classified property wants him to be, no matter, if McCarthy throws shit at the U.S. President for no justifiable reason whatsoever to damage presidential office & the only political party, which has demonstrably been working to improve Americans' lives after 4 years of a career-criminal fraudster's sociopathic carelessness, looting, betrayal, lies, subversion, incitement & driving countless wedges between the American people - for what? To serve Putin, out of hope of being given the chance to build a Dump Tower close to the Kremlin, & out of hope to be the almighty powerful a$$hole he always wanted to be - not the pathetic loser he always turned out to be.

    "You lack a basic understanding of the law, its practice, and the ethical obligations of attorneys generally and prosecutors specifically."

  31. @LilHulkQ "GOP lawmakers'" (/obstructors') interference with Fani Willis's work would equate to an inadmissible attack on the Separation of Powers (Legislative vs Judicial branch).

    "Seven agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), traveling in four different SUVs apparently rented by the state at our expense, squired DeSantis to a small campaign event in Tennessee on Tuesday."

    Why wouldn't Floridians know as should be normal? Because his majesty ConDeSanting made his personal "lawmakers" enact a law, that declares all his travel records — even retroactively — to be secret.
    Fraudulent Unfreedom of Information à la DeSantis & his parliamentary accomplices, to the disadvantage of Florida's taxpayers.

  41. @BlueWaver22 Jack Smith was certainly as interested as we are to learn more from the defendant's body language & prepared argumentation of Trump's attorneys — and if Trump understood & internalized any of it.

    As expected, the attorneys of a wealthy defendant with profound disregard for right & wrong would plead "not guilty" on all charges brought.

    If given the opportunity, he'd do it again any time. No matter the possible cost of lives & other harmful consequences.
    The people need to be protected against sociopaths wrongfully given power.
