The Justice Department confirmed on Monday that it is creating a $1.776 billion fund to send taxpayer money to “victims of lawfare and weaponization.”
According to a statement from the DOJ to MeidasTouch, the fund would “consist of a Commission of five members appointed by the Attorney General. One Member will be chosen in consultation with congressional leadership” and “the President can remove any member.”
Hours before the announcement, President Donald Trump withdrew a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, paving the way for the creation of the fund in an attempt to skirt concerns about the president’s attempts to use taxpayer funds to compensate himself. Last week, ABC News and CNN reported on internal White House discussions regarding the president’s desire to drop the lawsuit in exchange for the massive fund to compensate allies and other individuals he feels have been wronged by past administrations — particularly former President Joe Biden. According to CNN, the settlement would also kill any existing IRS audits on Trump, members of his family, or associated businesses.
I’m getting really sick of all his winning.

But when fascism comes it will not be in the form of an anti-American movement or pro-Hitler bund, practicing disloyalty. Nor will it come in the form of a crusade against war. It will appear rather in the luminous robes of flaming patriotism - John Thomas Flynn As We Go Marching
