Harry Litman - Trump Reaches a New Low

The $1.8B slush fund is bogus, illegal, and potentially impeachable.

The most corrupt president in the nation’s history has managed to reach a new low.

Not in terms of sheer violence to the country: that dubious distinction remains with his repugnant pardon of the January 6th offenders. But for layer upon layer of corruption—abuse of every branch of government, the Constitution itself, and the American people—the bogus “settlement” and creation of a $1.776 billion fund for supposed victims of Biden’s weaponization is a new nadir.

Imagine that Trump had simply announced the creation of a $1.8 billion fund, drawn from general DOJ funds, to compensate Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and everyone else who claims they were victimized by Biden’s weaponization of the justice system.

The political uproar would have been immediate and thunderous. Trump’s allies in Congress would have buried their heads deep in the sand while Democrats went on the political warpath, promising, among other things, a thorough investigation and challenge if they regain the House, including a possible impeachment inquiry.
