Writing The Rules On Water

Then run for Congress. Or go to Congress to get the funds authorized. Because as an unelected acting attorney general, your opinion about what American taxpayers think don’t mean shit.
REID: The New York Times has reported that Trump could have owed up to $100 million because of ongoing audits. So are you saying this is not an effort to help him avoid financial liability?

BLANCHE: That's the definition of completely made up fake news, and then it becomes real news because they repeat it
DON’T CALL HIM TRUMP’S PERSONAL LAWYER! Can we see these rules? It’s so common people try to get cops to hurt them, just for the easy money.๐Ÿค‘  I really think we need to see those rules. Is this a great country, or what?
Blanche: The fact that the IRS is settling a case and not moving forward with an audit is not unusual. The unsurprising fact that an existing president does not have to go through more and more audits, which has been happening for years and years and years in exchange for settling, shouldn't surprise the American people.

My job is to do the right thing. It's to do the right thing, no matter who is on the other side. And the fact that it was President Trump and his sons and his company played no role in my decision except to do the right thing.
But there wasn’t anyone on the “other side.” Trump filed this suit in January, not four years ago. He wasn’t even represented by private counsel; he was represented by Blanche. That’s why the court ordered briefs, and why DOJ “settled” with this agreement. How could “President Trump” be on the other side of a lawsuit against an agency of the U.S. government? But it’s not a legal settlement; it’s a sham. It vastly exceeds any provable damage claim that could have been made, was probably void for a number of reasons, and has no legal basis whatsoever.
No lawyers from the Justice Department ever appeared in court to respond to the suit or disputed any of Mr. Trump’s claims, which demanded at least $10 billion from the I.R.S. for not doing enough to prevent the leak of his tax information. The Justice Department instead made a highly unusual deal in the case. In exchange for Mr. Trump’s dropping the suit, the Trump administration created the $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund for people who say they were wrongly targeted by the federal government.

The existence of the internal memo, which has not been previously reported, shows that the Trump administration disregarded readily available defenses to a lawsuit filed by the president against an agency he controls. While the Justice Department has said that Mr. Trump will not receive money from the new fund, critics have slammed the arrangement as a corrupt attempt at paying Mr. Trump’s political supporters, including, potentially, those who were convicted and later pardoned for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Blanche says the DOJ represented the government in this case. Without ever making an appearance in court?

And the assumption we can trust that Trump won’t get any cash, that the accounting will be transparent, that reviews and even audits will not be available, is just adorable!  It’s like the NYT hasn’t paid any attention since January 2025. Yeah; this is what the American taxpayers want. We all want Mike Lindell to get what he deserves.
