The terms of the settlement are not yet public. DOJ and lawyers for Babbitt family say they have not signed the agreement but are working to get it on paper and signed within the next few weeks.

(23,265 posts)She asked for it.
She wasn't a victim.
She wasn't innocent.
She was a domestic terrorist, she asked for it, she got it. No need for any "settlement" beyond that.

(13,460 posts)Was this a reversal of the Bidens DOJ position? Was it a rightful settlement or a political settlement that plays to Trumps base?
Its our money, were entitled to know.
