"President Donald Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate..."
"... allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The commission overseeing the compensation fund would have the total authority to hand out approximately $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds to settle claims brought by anyone who alleges they were harmed by the Biden administration's 'weaponization' of the legal system, including the nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack as well as potentially entities associated with President Trump himself."

Disgusting! We are going to give Trump $1.7 billion to do whatever he wants with it? So much for his "sacrifice" of not taking a salary.
Freder’s right. Victims of Democratic weaponization of government departments should have no recourse!
Another selfless act soon to be misinformationed by the lying Left.

Where did I say that. You are deliberately twisting my words. Either that or you are a moron and/or liar.
The people who object to this should address all of the cooked lawsuits against government bodies that end with a settlement that funds NGOs with taxpayer dollars.
Another selfless act soon to be misinformationed by the lying Left.
Getting a $1.7 billion slush fund is a "selfless act". What the fuck are you talking about?
Way to go Freder. Already lying about it.
I hate settlements or deals like this. The facts never get adjudicated, and that's the important part, especially in cases of government abuse of rights. It's about more than just the current victim.
Way to go Freder. Already lying about it.
Exactly what am I lying about?
The article says “a commission” but Freder has to lie and smear Trump (the victim in this case) by saying he will get the money. Yes giving the compensation due him to others with claims of abuse is a selfless act. Obviously you have no personal experience doing such and so revert to your basic premise that everything about Trump is illegal.
Touch grass booomer.
Grifters gonna grift.
Freder: We are going to give Trump $1.7 billion to do whatever he wants with it?
Post: The commission overseeing the compensation fund ...
The TDS is strong in you, Frederson.
The Jan. 6th Pelosi-rrection with elements of a Whitmer-conspiracy. #ALM
Perhaps FF thinks that Trump hating ABC is covering up a scheme. Who knows.
" We are going to give Trump $1.7 billion to do whatever he wants with it?"
Would you drop your own $10B case to see other victims compensated?
Loser pays. Trump wins. Spoils go to the J6 victims.
It’s just reflexive with TDS sufferers. They see his name and imagine the crime.
I don’t recall much objection from the left to the left funding their operations with sue and settle during their tenure. The left is upset now but the Biden administration could have chosen not to weaponize the IRS or chosen to pursue more modest settlements with those they attacked, before or after they were losing power. Instead the left choses to whine about it once they’re powerless to do anything about it except whine…
Who was supposed to pay for the egregious abuses of the justice system, etc., by the Biden Administration? I continue to believe that a system of personal liability for anticonstitutional scofflaws ought to exist. Although by now Democrats have corrupted the legal system to the point that it might not matter.
…and more of the pennywise and pound foolish from the left- vigorously defending trillions in immigrant fraud but bent out of shape by a justified settlement with victims of leftie government malfeasance…
Politically brilliant and real justice.
This sounds more than a little like the old 'sue and settle' strategy that environmental groups used against (but really in cahoots with) the EPA.
I’m hoping I can get some of this for my legal troubles with Biden and his burrowers. Will be interesting to see if you need an acquittal, dismissal, pardon, etc, to be eligible, or if the commission will review convictions de novo. CC, JSM
Trump quickly accomplished what the system would never get done, but what clearly needed done. It's just not enough to compensate the thousands of Americans attacked by their own government for having the wrong political opinions.
Few defenders of FF to be seen.
The word “weaponization” should not be in scare quotes.
Pedo Fredo hasn't thrown this big a temper tantrum about the government compensating victims since the family of Jocelyn Nungarary testified in front of Congress...
…key difference: sue and settle is a scam perpetrated by political allies. This is a settlement going to victims of real crime perpetrated by a viciously oppressive, out of control government…
Grifters gonna grift.
LOL
@Fredo, please bring a nice Brie to go with all your w(h)ine.
FAFO
So you beat the shit out of a cop and you get $1 million? How about Trump's friends who hung out on Epstein's island. Surely they're entitled to something for raping little girls.
Trump is close with lots of crooks so it may only amount to a few thousand dollars each.
God, I hate "news" reports that are nothing but predictions of the future, designed to manipulate opinion in advance of actual events.
@MarkW ---
The left perfected "sue and settle" many decades ago. This followed FDR's threat to pack the Supreme Court unless they played ball. They complied, then see LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden. Similar playbooks per DEI, discrimination, environment, vehicle safety, etc. etc. etc..
So now, we have defected Democrats serving as Republicans (Trump et al.) making sue and settle a bipartisan activity.
"Turn about is fair play."
Freder Frederson said...Where did I say that. You are deliberately twisting my words
Did you or did you not call the fund disgusting?
The victims deserve compensation, but the money should be coming out of Pelosi, Biden, Garland, Soros, and a host of other pockets, not the taxpayers. They will just do it again if they are no consequences.
"Anyone who alleges..." This is what passes for news in our country. The liars come from all sides, the only thing they agree on is that whatever is said, it must not be the actual truth.
The article says “a commission” but Freder has to lie and smear Trump
Did you read the article (not just Althouse incomplete and deceptive quote)? "President Trump would have the authority to remove members of the commission running the fund without cause, and the commission would be under no obligation to disclose its procedures or decision-making process for awarding more than a billion dollars, the sources said. "
And the case was about to be kicked out of court.
… the only thing they agree on is that whatever is said, it must not be the actual truth.
And if they’re Democrats it almost certainly is not the truth. That’s scarcely the fault of conservatives.
"And the case was about to be kicked out of court."
Clearly someone didn't think so.
Trump is dipping into the Dem's meth-head tooth money now.
Happiness is ear marks and bad teeth.
The rioter of j 20 had their records expunged precious few summer of love participants were even charged
Many j6ers were beaten tear gassed some were beaten to death

I look forward to the private lawsuits this is going to fund.
A lot of Americans were persecuted by Obama and the fascist shitlibs.
They settled with Trump to avoid discovery. Now they are going to get to settle with Giuliani and thousands of J6 political prisoners too.
Get fucked fascist.
Will the commision ask them just exactly why did they drop their pants in the Capitol?

The settlement money should come from the IRS’s personnel budget. They should be made to feel pain for their actions.
Meanwhile judge faruqi treats the shooter with kid gloves
Did you or did you not call the fund disgusting?
I did. How did you get "[v]ictims of Democratic weaponization of government departments should have no recourse!" out of that. It is disgusting that Trump will have control (to be technically correct, his at-will, handpicked commission) over the money.
Anyone (except maybe the president) can sue the Federal Government if they are aggrieved about how they were treated. I have no problem with that.
By contrast

Fredo whines when anyone pushes back on his BS. Must be a day ending in ‘Y’.
"...to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration..."
That's a rather interesting admission on the part of ABC, when you think about it. Following up, where does it specify 'allies' in the settlement? "...to settle claims brought by anyone who alleges they were harmed...." Oh, there it is. Anyone is an ally, according to ABC. You're all guilty of liking Trump until proven innocent, when charged by the Biden administration, apparently.
WTF FF are you saying it's a crime to win a lawsuit against the FEDS? He can do WTF he wants with his money. But he didn't take it. He pledged it to others. And NO ACTION has been taken yet you condemn Trump, implying he might control the committee. Oh my.
He is the victim in this episode. Suck it up. Be human.
After the way the American people have treated Donal J. Trump:
harrassing him for colluding with Russia
attempted assassinations
leaking of embarrassing, PRIVATE medical information like his early dementia and incontinence
incessant media whinging about him making billions of dollars from the office through fraud and crypto pardon schemes
etc
The patriot deserves a few dollars from the tax payers!
WTF FF are you saying it's a crime to win a lawsuit against the FEDS?
No. And he didn't win the suit. It is questionable whether it can go forward while he is president. You seem to forget that a sitting president generally can't be sued. Why should a president be allowed to sue his own department? Doesn't that seem just a little odd to you?
Freder Frederson said...Anyone (except maybe the president) can sue the Federal Government if they are aggrieved about how they were treated. I have no problem with that.
Sure, but a fund designed to pay them is disgusting.
Freder: Why should a president be allowed to sue his own department?
It was the IRS under Biden, and Trump wasn't president at the time.
Oh, and what Mike Wolf said.
Sure, but a fund designed to pay them is disgusting.
If the president (or rather his hand-picked commission) can hand out the money with no restraints and no need to prove the victims' cases in court, then yes, it is disgusting.
It was the IRS under Biden, and Trump wasn't president at the time.
And now it is the IRS under Trump. What is your point?
Will Comey get compensated? Doubtful, because this isn't about stopping the "weaponization" of the DOJ. It's just to make sure the right people are targeted by their government.
You people make me want to puke. MAGA is no better than Obama and Biden. Maybe even worse.
Why should the taxpayers be on the hook for what the Deep State scum did for partisan political advantage and vengeance? I think qualified immunity for government employees, or any other kind of immunity, is rank injustice and the erection of a new kind of aristocracy.
At my job, I put my house and everything else I own on the line every single time I sign my name. Government employees should be no different. These people are not made of finer clay than the rest of us. They are not nobility. If they destroy a citizen's life for the benefit of their political party or their industry cronies or for any other invalid, unjust reason, then their lives should in turn be destroyed. They should lose their homes and pensions and their children's college funds, and a lot of them should go to prison for a long time.
Even the iron-clad job security they enjoy under the civil service laws is a disgrace and an injustice. It should be easier, not harder, to fire a worthless government employee from his sinecure than someone in the private sector.
Unelected judges created qualified immunity out of thin air. Our elected representatives in Congers should rip it down to the bare ground.
the ACLU(D) demands that 20 million illegal aliens get court dates. These are illegals who crossed the border - ILLEGALLY - under Joe Biden.
Who is going to pay for that?
And now it is the IRS under Trump. What is your point?
The point is that you would immunize both the IRS and DOJ for gross dereliction under the "Biden" "administration".
Presumably, the commission's deliberations and awards would be public. Your whingeing is, as yet, completely unfounded.
Dear leftists - this is about making people whole - people who were harmed economically under the brutal punitive unconstitutional corrupt Biden regime. Real People were ruined merely because they refused to bow down and act as dutiful Leftist Nazi Democrats.
Inag - care at all about the billions in fraud perpetrated on purpose by the governors of CA and MN?
Freder- Democrats attack anyone not loyal. That is unconstitutional.
Trump is going after the left's illegal and corrupt behavior.
Mike's 1:26 post - Ferdherder- - read it and learn something - you twit.
At my job, I put my house and everything else I own on the line every single time I sign my name.
Well then, you are an idiot. I assume that means you are self-employed. Setting up an LLC or S corporation is relatively easy and not very expensive, even if you have a lawyer draw up the papers for you.
Traitorous scum like james comey who along with atkinson protected hillary from prosecution for uranium one

The point is whenever democrats get power they use the government to attack their political opponents.
Even a stupid fascist like you understands that.
Trump is going after the left's illegal and corrupt behavior.
Well then, why hasn't he managed to get anyone into court yet? His cases against " the left's illegal and corrupt behavior" keep getting tossed for being frivolous. And even the settlements he has gotten are more like extortion than compensation for actual bad behavior.
The point is whenever democrats get power they use the government to attack their political opponents.
Even if I agreed with your point, how is that different from what Trump is doing right now (and he is not even limiting it to his domestic political opponents, he is going after foreign political opponents too)?
Stephanopoulos lies cant ve erased they were part of the psycho shooters manifesto thats just one example

"Disgusting! We are going to give Trump $1.7 billion to do whatever he wants with it? "
I don't know how you got that out of what Althouse wrote, but you be you.
Are you also contending that the people unlawfully hurt under the Biden DOJ don't deserve any consideration?
There is a host of foreign players who were involved not merely christopher steele but that australian who was agent for huawei alex something or other
"Even a stupid fascist like you understands that."
Don't mind him. He's just cranky because the Democrats aren't in power and can't use the government to attack their political opponents.

According to Freder Trump getting restitution for people persecuted by Obama’s IRS is the same as Obama sending the IRS after his political opponents.
You can’t make this level of stupidity up.
Freder is so stupid his only defense is to pretend to not understand obvious things.
If the IRS accepts the settlement, it’s a tacit admission they were guilty.
"You can’t make this level of stupidity up."
Democrat politicians depend on it.
Before even jumping into the comments, I had a suspicion a certain person would take no time at all to show his ass for all to see.
I wasn't disappointed.
Grifters gonna grift.
And again, you have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about, do you?
Forget it true patriots. The libs comenting on this blog see Kash Patel snorkelling at Pearl Harbor as disrespectful, how are you gonna convince folks like that of anything? Presidents have a right to make money form their job. Its in the constitution!
MAGA!
Lots of anguish here over anonymous leaks about an unsettled settlement.
This will have to be approved by our 600 District court judges first. And J6 was a protest not an "attack on the Capitol". Its too bad it wasnt an attack - our scumbag grifter Senators/congressman deserved it. that's why they were screeching at the Capitol Hill police to murder the Trump supporters.
If the president (or rather his hand-picked commission) can hand out the money with no restraints and no need to prove the victims' cases in court, then yes, it is disgusting.
Well, then you should be mad at Biden. If he hadn't illegally sicced his IRS on Trump, none of this would be happening.
The left, opposed to the concept of handing out money with no restraints? On what planet?

If the IRS accepts the settlement, it’s a tacit admission they were guilty.
Settling out of court is a tacit admission of guilt? Who knew?
Avoids discovery which is the objective
Fredo est en fuego!
Trump can appropriate money from the federal treasury without going through Congress by simply suing himself and then settling with himself. That’s an imperial theory of the Presidency.
How will this settlement fund work? You injured your hands while beating a policeman on J6? Here’s $1 million.
Left Bank: All payments, no matter what fund they come out of, have to be in an appropriations act passed by Congress and signed by a President (or overridden after a veto). I don't know that this proposed fund can bypass that process. But hey, more Trump win-win: if the other side manages to get a court to say he can't do this, then they won't be able to do it when they're in office. CC, JSM
Will we ever find out who from the Biden administration called Citibank and Chase, telling them if they didn't debank Trump they would face regulation 'hell'? The Rats are just the Mafia with a government stamp on its forehead.
"if the other side manages to get a court to say he can't do this, then they won't be able to do it when they're in office"
Do you really think anyone else would think of doing this?
Do you figure all of Trump's malfeasances are innoculations? Ridiculous tariffs were just to make sure no one tries that one again. Bomb the hell out of Iran with no apparent strategy and then squirm around looking for a way out, to make clear the consequences of electing a malevolent ex TV personality.
innoculations?
Did you mean innocuous?
Are there inoculations against malfeasances?
Caught shoplifting? There's a shot for that.
