Mary L Trump - The Presidential Slush Fund

It is difficult to express just how egregiously corrupt, this $1.8 billion so called anti-weaponization fund truly is.

To put this in context, Donald sued his own Internal Revenue Service for $10 billion over allegations that the IRS leaked his tax returns. The fact that the case was even allowed to move toward a settlement is itself deeply corrupt, because Donald is effectively the boss of the very agency he is suing. The level of self dealing involved here is extraordinary.

Donald’s Department of Justice, currently run by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, one of the most breathtakingly compliant, sycophantic, and corrupt figures in our government, agreed to the deal. Blanche appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee this morning to defend the decision to hand over nearly $1.8 billion in taxpayer money to a fund controlled by Donald’s allies and co-conspirators.

Donald responded,

Well, it’s been very well received… I know very little about it. I wasn’t involved in the whole creation of it and the negotiation, but this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated. It’s anti weaponization. They’ve been weaponized…I mean, it was a terrible period of time in the history of our country and they worked on it. I know the Justice Department has really been working on it very hard. There’s been numerous other occasions over the years where things like this have been done, but these were people that were weaponized and really treated brutally by a system that was so corrupt with corrupt people running it and they’re getting reimbursed for their legal fees and the other things that they had to suffer.
