Repub logic requires you to believe all the tigers in this story have changed their stripes. Trump who has lied & cheated all his life is now the bastion of truth while the FBI is now corruptly trying to frame an honest man. How does that make sense to anyone?
This supposed 'deal' doesn't prevent payouts to violent insurrectionists in the future.
It doesn't prevent the admin from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week or using DOJ’s Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose.
It leaves in place a tax-immunity deal that could help Trump skip taxes on the $2.3 billion he made last year, and still leaves it vague who and what is covered.
Todd Blanche says he stands by his testimony from before our committee last month. Under oath, he pledged to provide Congress with assistance on a bill to make the death of Donald Trump's slush fund enforceable by law.
No such assistance has been forthcoming. The Judiciary Committee and its members should not settle for less than the Acting Attorney General following through on his promise of helping to write this into statute.
The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

No previous president in history has ever spoken like this. If someone in your social circle spoke like this, you would distance yourself from them.
Over 70 million people voted for this guy.
I will never ever get over that.
@MrJohnHooper I went to Led bulbs 8yrs ago and haven't changed one yet. I was changing incandescent every 2yrs. I'm lazy so the convenience alone is worth it.
The problem isn’t that recent elections were stolen - we won the damn elections. White House, Senate, House, even the Supreme Court leans our way.
The fraud is that our party got elected and broke our campaign promises to voters.
Former Pardon Attorney: 2 days after Mr. Blanche was confirmed as Deputy Attorney General, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend and it cost me my job. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.
@RentYourStocks What is the other option, waiting until rates go back down into the 3's? Home prices on my area have continued to go up. Waiting will only make things worse
In 2023, ABC News obtained video from Georgia prosecutors' interview with ex-Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, in which Ellis tells them she was personally informed by a top WH adviser that Trump was "not going to leave" the WH, despite losing the 2020 election.
Schiff: How is this even happening—that we’re contemplating the confirmation of this guy? The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct.
How is it possible that, after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?
If Fetterman leaves the Democrats for the Republicans, he will be the first Senator in US history to simultaneously raise the average IQ of both parties.
We are back to bombing Iran during the ceasefire for the Iran war that is not a war because Iran bombed a vessel for crossing the Strait of Hormuz that they don’t control yet apparently control.
Not sure how they bombed the vessel because we have totally and completely obliterated their military and beat them in the war that is not a war like 40 times now.
I’m so glad that Trump ran for president to end forever foreign wars otherwise I might start thinking this war that is not a war that we won like 40 times is starting to turn into another forever foreign war in the Middle East.
Good thing Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Department of Defense, I mean War, is headed to Israel to take orders from, I mean ask for advice, on how to totally wipe out Iran, I mean bring peace.
I’m totally sure no one in the executive branch or donors will do any sort of insider trading based on super duper secret military decisions.
You know the kind based on intelligence that Congress is going to fuse with Israel’s military after they all vote to pass the National Defense (war) Authorization Act.
Because this is exactly what we all voted for when we said Make America Great Again.
