“Although #Trump & his cronies have been secretive about the fund’s ends, reporting leaves no doubt that it will be used, among other purposes, to pay the nearly 1,600 people charged with attacking the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021,” the lawsuit says.

Dunn & Hodges were among the officers who testified before #Congress about the #violence they witnessed during the attack.

Because #Trump is a #criminal #rapist #fraudster who is a constant source of #misinformation, let’s all assume this obviously #illegal madness [hopefully to be struck down in court] is a distraction from something far worse that he is either currently doing or will soon come to light.

Keep your eyes open.

The additional terms…were quietly added in a hyperlink to Monday’s #DOJ press release that contained an agreement to create a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate people or organizations that have been “weaponized” by past admins — a fund widely expected to benefit Trump’s allies, including #Jan6, 2021, US Capitol #insurgents.

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?

Blanche faces scrutiny over a nearly $1.8B fund to repay Trump allies

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has not ruled out the possibility of compensating individuals involved in violence during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot from a new $1.776 billion fund. During a Congressional hearing on Tuesday, Blanche stated that anyone who believes they were politically targeted can apply for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” The fund, announced Monday, aims to compensate those mistreated by previous administrations' Justice Departments. Blanche emphasized that the fund is not limited to any political party or specific individuals. Some Democrats have criticized the fund as an abuse of power, while some Republicans have expressed discomfort with it.
