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.

…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.

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.

#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.

The reasons for creating the #SlushFund, #ToddBlanche told lawmakers, “remain as important as they were before.”
[Cornyn & Thillis better stay strong & yovte against this confirming this corrupt lickspittle. More #Republicans should be against him!]

“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.

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].

The #MAGA #SlushFund is Still Active Despite Court Order Payouts to #Trump Allies Continue
A seven-figure “settlement” was announced hours before senators skeptical about the so-called weaponization fund delayed a crucial vote on #ToddBlanche’s nomination to be #US #AttorneyGeneral.

#DickDurbin opened with an impassioned rebuke of #ToddBlanche’s role in creating a $1.8 billion compensation #SlushFund for purported victims of #DOJ “weaponization” under Biden — & slammed him signing off on a deal to shield #Trump & his family from #tax investigations. “One of your first official actions as Acting Attorney General was establishing a nearly $2 billion slush fund to benefit January 6 cop-beaters while immunizing Trump from IRS liability,” he said.

Sometime in the last 100 minutes (actually hours now that I took the time to read it) the filing happened. So here it is, Doc 89 from #Trump v. #IRS and the #Jan6 #SlushFund fake #settlement by the #ToddBlanche #DOJ.
The motion title is preposterous as you only get so many bites at the apple.
The document is signed by Alejandro Brito and Daniel Z. Epstein Trump's run-of-the-mill Florida and D.C. lawyers. Also by Richard C. Klugh, Trump's muscle lawyer for criminal defense and appellate issues. I think I have an opinion as to who wrote most of this.
On the issues of #collusion / #trueAdversity
• The suit has merit (if you ignore the gap between requested relief and the statutory cap *and* the statute of limitations since the date Trump's own lawyer made public announcements about Littlejohn's leaks) (p. 18)
• The Biden IRS issued a press release saying *Trump's IRS* failed to prevent the leak and that security was improved , again on Biden's watch. (p. 18)
• It's really adverse since *some* of the plaintiffs (being Trump's family and business holdings) aren't even in government (p. 19)
• The claims, moreover, presented genuine legal complexity, so complex that the DOJ didn't bother to show up or argue (p. 19)
• Just because all parties agreed on one legal question, doesn't mean that there wasn't #trueAdversity, just no evidence of adversity. (pp. 19–20)
• Just because 35 retired judges and the present judge think there is every appearance of collusion doesn't mean you have evidence of collusion. Where's your evidence? (p. 20)
• They ignore that it has every appearance of a manufactured fake controversy and not a real one. -

Democrats must file claims of weaponization against the slush fund.
Every federal worker who lost their job, every federal person sidelined for voting for Biden . Letitia James , James Comey , et Al who lost jobs or are on trial for doing their jobs, Stephen Colbert too should file even Jimmy Kimmel.
Call it the 8647 Statute Class Action h/t Allison Gill. Sue , sue sue if your politics or Ist A rights have been violated.

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/
