But there are few details of how this will play out. And unlike the announcement of the so-called \u201cAnti-Weaponization Fund,\u201d Blanche refused to put it in writing, nor does its demise appear on the DOJ website. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou started it; you established it in writing, so it just makes sense to rescind it in writing,\u201d New York Democratic Rep.Grace Meng told Blanche.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not committing to put anything in writing,\u201d Blanche replied.<\/p>\n<p>Are we really supposed to believe these people? <\/p>\n<p>On top of that, Blanche confirmed that the part of the \u201csettlement\u201d in which Trump and his family get immunity from tax audits for dropping the $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, is staying. Let me remind you that none of the others among many wealthy people whose whose returns were leaked when Trump\u2019s were leaked by an IRS contractor\u2014during Trump\u2019s first administration\u2014got anything. Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin sued the IRS and settled\u2014for an apology, that\u2019s it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing has changed with that,\u201d Blanche sad at the hearing regarding the Trump family\u2019s immunity from audits for the rest of their lives, which is insane. President\u2019s are routinely audited each year by the IRS. Trump is estimated to own $100 million under an ongoing audit. Now it disappears, even as his administration claims they\u2019re not paying out the $1.8 billion to the domestic terrorists who attacked the Capitol and bludgeoned police officers.<\/p>\n<p>It makes you wonder if that had been the plan all along. But I doubt it. Trump wanted this slush fund to create his own armed militia, looking toward the elections. And he\u2019s going to have to find another way to do it. Don\u2019t think he won\u2019t try.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s true that those of us opposed to the authoritarian regime had a big win, helping to raise the temperature enough on Trump\u2019s terrorist slush fund to the point at which Republicans in the Senate came to see it as a liability. <\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he went to Trump and \u201cmade clear\u201d that the $72 billion budget reconciliation package to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol through 2029 wasn\u2019t going to pass unless Trump dropped the slush fund. Getting the ICE funding, even though ICE has lots of money from the big, bad bill, has been a priority, and keeping the agency shut down was hurting the regime\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>And when unnamed sources in the White House fed the media the story that Trump was dropping the slush fund, it wasn\u2019t enough for Republicans in the Senate, knowing Democrats would still have impact in forcing the issue. So Blanche was hauled up to the House to say it publicly\u2014even though he wouldn\u2019t put it in writing\u2014while Trump still hasn\u2019t addressed it.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=927\">Senator blasts Rubio for attending UFC \u2018party\u2019 as Iran negotiations collapsed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Democrats executed a great strategy on the ICE funding bill. They blocked funding, forcing the GOP to try to pass the funding bill under budget reconciliation, a process that would only require 51 votes. And after Trump demanded his billion-dollar ballroom be added into the bill, the Senate parliamentarian ruled that Trump\u2019s ballroom couldn\u2019t be added. There weren\u2019t enough votes for the ballroom anyway. <\/p>\n<p>Democrats had planned to introduce amendments on the ballroom, but when that was dropped, they switched to the slush fund. It caused the GOP to go home for the holiday without taking the ICE funding vote, fearful of the amendments. <\/p>\n<p>After two rulings by judges that dealt blows to the fund late last week, and after the blowback from the GOP, the White House began to cave. But Chuck Schumer said Democrats will still add amendments to the ICE funding bill. And they\u2019re right to do so. <\/p>\n<p>Those amendments need to say that the slush fund can never be brought back in any way, shape, or form. We can\u2019t trust the word of this administration. <\/p>\n<p>The New York Times reported before Blanche went to the hill that \u201csome administration officials privately expressed relief\u201d at the judicial rulings but then added,<strong> \u201cAs with all things involving Mr. Trump, he could still decide to reverse course, especially as he tracks media coverage of his decision.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s an indication that Trump won\u2019t let it be. <\/p>\n<p>The Florida judge who reopened the lawsuit against the IRS that Trump claimed to have dropped, creating the \u201csettlement\u201d for the slush fund, will keep this in the news for a while as she seeks to determine if the administration engaged in \u201cfraud.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>And the decision to keep the part of the deal that prevents Trump and his family from being audited is another massive disaster for the GOP heading into the midterms. Even if the courts stop it, Democrats will be able to use this against the GOP, showing that Trump is executing his power to protect himself and enrich himself, while everyday Americans are suffering. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=925\">Why Trump wins even if Republicans lose: GOP advisor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The corporate media is brimming with headlines after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was rushed to Capitol Hill to claim that the Trump administration will not move forward with a terrorist slush fund\u2014$1.8 billion for January 6th insurrectionists and others. \u201cWe\u2019re not moving forward with the f&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
