How many in Congress are *not* violating ethics, oath of office, or law? And it rises to the top, where the stinking fish head rots downward into our economy and our world standing. Sad.
Paxton's. but one fitting poster child.
Even Sir is apologizing for him (he's not a 10 in the appearance department). Sick. -
So sad. So sick. So corrupt and evil. And so brazenly illegal, as if that matters now. :- (

Vapid depravity’: Rudy Giuliani

#Vapid #Depravity - seems like the key words for the whole #TrumpVirus / #GQP / #Kleptocracy #cult
But Rudy #Giuliani, like Sir, is special. Perfect vapid depravity. Like so many stars of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles and Cabinet of #Corruption

Yes, all jokers!
The only apt metaphor with cards, for this Stable Genius who managed to bankrupt casinos and everything he touches...
"He's playing without a full deck."
And as has been pointed out (Late Nite), these cards are UNO. A game whose goal is to end with the FEWEST cards. "Like bragging about the highest golf score."#TrumpVirus #Truth #BrainSpurs #emoluments #WarCrimes #TrumpEpsteinFiles #coverup #sedition #Jan6 #Kleptocracy #nepotism #law

Still, even in its new form, #ToddBlanche’s order for the #IRS to abandon any audits of #Trump’s previous tax returns is an
unprecedented & “potentially” (definitely) illegal benefit to a sitting president, worth tens of millions of dollars in lower taxes & avoided penalties.#law #criminal #theft #fraud #JudicialProcess #judiciary #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState

The unsigned #IRS document posted by #ToddBlanche said that only #Trump, 2 of his sons & the #TrumpOrganization would be granted #immunity from audits, excluding a broader pool of Trump family members & their associates who appeared to be eligible for protection under the original #DOJ deal. Blanche also stipulated that their future tax returns could still be audited.

#ToddBlanche, the acting US #AG, confirmed in writing [1 unsigned] on Sunday night that the #DOJ would abandon “elements” of the deal it struck with #Trump to “resolve” his lawsuit against the #IRS, conceding to demands from Republican senators who had threatened to block his nomination as attorney general.

“In abdicating its responsibility to zealously defend the interests of the United States, the #Government entered into a ‘settlement’ that deviated from its litigation posture in similar actions, disregarded #DOJ policies, & accomplished objectives beyond those authorized, as well as those specifically prohibited, by #law,” Williams wrote.

Williams’ 56-page opinion blasted the behavior of both the #DOJ — stating that the admin’s response to the case disregarded DOJ policies & potentially the #law — & of the private attorneys who brought the lawsuit on #Trump’s behalf.

"This action was never about a party seeking judicial resolution of a legal issue or a factual dispute," Williams wrote. The judge said it was instead an attempt to "provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer #immunity to people & entities affiliated with the president & to earmark billions of dollars from American #taxpayers to redress grievances not defined in the #law."

US District Judge Kathleen Williams found that #Trump & the #IRS, which he oversees as president, were not truly adverse to each other as is required in #civil lawsuits under the #US #Constitution. Williams referred a Trump lawyer in the case & senior #DOJ officials who signed off on the settlement to state #bar authorities to determine if their actions violated #LegalEthics rules.

US judge voids Trump's settlement with IRS
A US judge on Monday voided #Trump's [totally illegal] #settlement with the #IRS that gave him & his companies sweeping #tax protections & initially set up a nearly $1.8 billion government #SlushFund to pay victims of so-called government weaponization.

#Trump & his family have spent decades aggressively avoiding #taxes…. The newly won ability to escape from #IRS examinations could be worth tens of millions of dollars∶ One audit, ongoing in the days before the new #immunity for Trump was announced, could have resulted in a bill from the government exceeding $100 million, NYT has reported. Other authorities have had questions, too∶ In 2022, the #TrumpOrganization was convicted of #TaxFraud in #NewYork.

#Impotent #Senate OKs $70B #immigration bill after rejecting efforts to permanently ban #Trump #SlushFund
The Senate passed legislation to fund Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies early Friday, after weeks of delays & fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.

#Republicans appear to be in a holding pattern while they figure out how to address the issue of the $1.8 billion #SlushFund. We are still waiting on votes from 3 Republicans: #BillCassidy of Louisiana, #JonHusted of Ohio & #DanSullivan of Alaska.
Husted & Sullivan are both up for re-election. Cassidy recenty lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger.

Senator #SusanCollins, Republican of Maine, just voted for Schumer’s motion, the first #Republican to vote “yes.”
This motion can still fail if three Republicans vote for it, if everyone is voting. Collins is up for re-election in a critical & competitive state.
Senator #ThomTillis, who voted no, is not running for re-election.

During the #House #Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, #Democrats repeatedly requested that #ToddBlanche commit in writing to rescinding the order creating the weaponization #SlushFund.
“I’m not committing to putting anything in writing,” he said, saying only that he would abide by his word.

She also noted that only #ToddBlanche signed the tax audit provision. The separate, 9-page agreement laying out the $1.8 billion #SlushFund was signed by Woodward & Frank Bisignano, who is serving as the “chief executive officer of the #IRS”, a newly created role [created by the #Trump admin in October 2025] that is not subject to #Senate confirmation.

Lawyers for the fmr #judges hailed Judge Williams’s decision.
“The judges & their counsel greatly appreciate the seriousness with which the #court is addressing these grievous allegations,” said Norman Eisen, who represented the fmr judges for the nonprofit group, Democracy Defenders Fund. “We stand ready to work with the court as it investigates this matter.”

In her order, Judge Williams asserted that she was “empowered to investigate serious #misconduct” in any case before her, & ordered Trump’s lawyers to tell her by June 12 whether the lawsuit should be formally reopened because “the #court was the victim of a #fraud.”
She also wanted Trump’s lawyers to respond to the question of whether he had #colluded with his own government to settle the case “to avoid judicial scrutiny.”

Before she closed the case, Judge Williams had in fact questioned whether the lawsuit presented an actual conflict that she could adjudicate, given that #Trump was on both sides of the suit, bringing claims against a federal agency that he controlled. When she closed it, she noted there was no “settlement of record,” but shortly after, the #DOJ released its “agreement” foreclosing the action.

Judge Williams’s decision came in response to court papers filed on Wednesday by a bipartisan group of 35 former federal #judges who urged her to bring the case back to life & dig into the details of the agreement to settle it.
The former judges said that Trump’s “#settlement” agreement raised serious questions about his “candor toward the court & manipulation of the judicial system.”

After #Trump “withdrew” the suit, senior #DOJ officials released a pair of extraordinary agreements that settled the case by establishing a $1.8 billion #SlushFund to compensate people who claimed they were victims of government “weaponization” by Democrats.
The deal also conferred extremely lucrative tax benefits on Trump, his family & his businesses.

But wait, there’s more!
A federal judge in Miami reopened #Trump’s $10B case against the #IRS in a striking turnabout, saying she wanted to investigate “grievous allegations” that the hasty deal to resolve it was “premised on #deception.”
The ruling by Judge Kathleen M. Williams to revive the case shortly after closing it was a significant blow both to #Trump & to the #DOJ.

No money has yet been handed out from the #SlushFund. Acting AG [aka #Trump henchman] #ToddBlanche has not yet named the 5 “commissioners” who would be assigned to evaluate claims for compensation. The #DOJ has said the $1.776 billion in #TaxpayersMoney it intends to use for the payments would be drawn from a separate legal compensation fund managed by the federal government before July 17 [um, no. Can we halt that please as well?]

The creation of this fund is a stupefying feat of self-dealing—part of a “settlement agreement” between the Department of the #Treasury, which #Trump controls, & the plaintiffs—Trump, 2 of his sons & their family business—who sued the #IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. It will very likely result in an undeserved windfall to a legion of #Jan6 rioters who have already unjustly received #pardons from Trump.

Why doesn't this lead to Donald Trump's impeachment already? Has the Overton window widened so much that our sensibilities have become dull to the fact that this obvious slush fund makes every American endlessly taxable? Will someone please go stop the wrecking ball that is currently in motion before it wreaks further havoc? https://reason.com/2026/05/21/trumps-corruption-is-brazen-obvious-and-costly-will-enough-republicans-try-to-stop-him/
