Top Treasury lawyer quits after $1.776B fund settlement tied to Trump case
A senior Treasury Department lawyer resigned after the administration announced a $1.776 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' tied to President Donald Trump dropping an IRS lawsuit. The lawyer had been handpicked by Trump and was recently brought back into the department before quitting in disgust at the settlement. The departure raises questions about internal legal objections and whether the settlement shields Trump from discovery or constitutes self-dealing, increasing the likelihood of congressional scrutiny.
WATCH: J.D. Vance condescendingly downplays Trump’s $1.776 BILLION slush fund heist for his allies — essentially says they will be judge and jury on which insurrectionists deserve financial rewards… portrays Tina Peters as a victim and won’t commit to not giving 💰 to the ones who attacked cops.
Chris⚖️Justice25🧵 Tina Peters was part of Trump's election fraud team with Gen. Mike Flynn. Not some 'innocent grandmother'. Justice failed to go up the chain bsky.app/profile/chri...
David Butler19Someone just needs to openly say "Your administration is the most corrupt in American history. When are you going to resign?"
Chris⚖️Justice16Who can apply is not the question, who qualifies for payout is. Lying thieves. No Justice
konzun.bsky.social8I think ALL Amercians should apply. Why not? Let the paperwork begin. Also, the WORLD should apply. Pile it on!
DrAtomic4Personally, I think every American should apply for payment from this fund. Swamp their asses.
vanlighet.bsky.social2Oh FUCK YOU! How about we use that money who’ve been WRONGLY CONVICTED and spent time in a prison, were fully exonerated, usually due to DNA technology, and then were freed but received little to NO compensation, help, or support by the govt that locked them up! Let’s pay THOSE PEOPLE FFS!! 😡🖕🏼
E Wade2They say the fund is created to pay J6ers, but we know who will be getting paid. Most definitely Trump! Then, "the Coup Lawyers" (the architects of J6 coup attempt) will be paid. then a few bucks for Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tario, for standing by and ready. Then just a few crumbs to various mice.
Robert Democracy Illes2They were CONVICTED of attacking police officers, not "accused".
Felon Trump has created a $1.776 BILLION slush fund with American taxpayers dollars over which he can exert control. @raskin.house.gov on this alleged “settlement” & why it’s Trump just rewarding his most loyal foot soldiers & maybe bankrolling yet another insurrection. youtu.be/KB2X-Dg9be8?...
Mike Davis • Feed After Midnight3AND the list of people who get $ is NEVER made public? This is the most corrupt act by a president ever. Even before the money is put to "use". There is no overreacting to this. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/trump-to-p...
upchuck66.bsky.social3He’s definitely bankrolling another insurrection! How can we motivate the GOP to help stop him?
Pamela Crossley2There are evidently other provisions preventing IRS from ever investigating the Trump family for fraud? What is the country to do if a president fraudulently obtains protections for himself against fraud charges? We have to have some kind of response.
Feelingantsy 🇬🇧🇩🇪. Maker of Puns2Question: if as a nation we elect terrible people do we as a nation (not as individuals) deserve what happens next?
Insomnia2As a taxpayer, I don't feel that i am being adequately represented here. Who in the judicial system is representing American Taxpayers?
PeggyCrane2No one will see a cent of the $1,776 billion slush fund except Trump and his spawn.
strata72.bsky.social2Narrator “and so the grift continued, despite the rule of law….”
The key House Republican who demanded the Trump Justice Department release the Epstein files just lost his re-election bid after Trump campaigned against him.
communism is just a red herring37Welp, Massie has 7 months now to go berserker and finish that job.
wanda27.bsky.social8So they voted against justice for the women. What else is new in this backwards, sexist country. Sex offenders and pedophiles protect each other.
Annie6He better work fast then.
Over it5Because way less than 89% of Americans actually care about the files. People are lying to the polls.
Roland Gerritsen van der Hoop4It almost looks like the president who signed a law to release the Epstein Files does not want to release the Epstein Files. Funny, not?
PacifiCali 🟦🟧🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇸4If the Democrat doesn’t have much of a chance in the general election, hoping this guy runs as an independent Better to have Massie in Congress than yet another MAGA cult member
Sisyphus' Rock2Almost every Republican who was a prominent advocate for releasing the Epstein files has left or is leaving Congress now, right? Massie, primaried out MTG, resigned Mace, running for SC governor Just leaves Boebert, who Trump apparently just threatened a few hours ago.
