"The Trump administration’s $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund could be a boon for GOP senators targeted by a Biden-era investigation..."
"... but some say they still do not want the taxpayer payout. Settlements for those the Justice Department deems were victims of 'lawfare and weaponization' under past administrations is the latest attempt to provide financial compensation to Republican senators whose phone records were tapped in the 'Arctic Frost' investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election...."

How dare they demand justice for being abused. They should just be thankful Strzok and Page got their payout, faced no consequences, and Wray could just leave for the private jet whenever he wanted with no accountability. Count their lucky stars the Jack Smith is incompetent.
…yes this is greaseball politics. The left hates that a settlement fund paints them as a the baddies so the narrative manufacturers and every Trump hating politician left and right piles on. Personally I’d rather see an investigation and report on how invested fbi and government agencies were in developing and enacting the operation trapping the victims, then trial and conviction of the leftie perps but I know that can never happen…
The senators harmed by Arctic Frost secretly disbursed $500,000 to themselves with no public debate or vote for it. The opposition to Trump is entirely the defiant opposition of GOPe swamp creatures more loyal to McConnell and Thune than to the people who elected them.
…what tags it as petty politics is the settlement was for IRS weaponization. Trump could have pocketed it but instead…now his enemies left and right have to dance around the J6 scam…
Not for the peons though
Imagine if we had Senators that had been abused, sought relief from the out-of-court settlement fund, were awarded damages, and then turned the money back in to the federal government for some kind of constructive use. You know - altruistically, like the President does.
I call it the accountability fund but they dont want to be accountable in the Capitol
ha ha

There was no out-of court settlement, and this fund is not damages. What court or judge signed off on this fiasco?
Why should the president be allowed to sue himself?
The dems had all the j 20 charges expunged from their records
It's not a lot of money in the context of the scale of Democratic lawbreaking, so it's for the best that senators and other connected people choose not to apply.
The way the examiner misses the point of who are the beneficiaries
Who was president on January 6, 2021? It depends who you ask.
Trump says America needs a $1.776 bn slush fund to redistribute taxpayer money to pro-Trump felons, including financial criminals and January 6th rioters. His political opponents disagree.
They make it very clear who the unpeoplle are
Checks and balances have been replaced with cheques and bank balances.
GOP Senators Fight Restitution Harder Than Weaponization https://share.google/mRbTmL7zFUQg4Qd4B
Trump is essentially negotiating with himself on these issues since his counterpart is his personal attorney Todd Blanche. Brazen corruption taken to an entirely unimaginable place. It's even too much for this supine, feckless, derelict Republican Conference.
A Whitmer-conspiracy with consequences is a fetal conception toward the birth of aborting a liberal burden in progress.

Wow, was Clinton still claiming Trump was an "illegitimate president"?! She didn't even run in 2020 - why was she still so fired up?
Like all who find themselves caught in a battlefield quagmire of their own creation, getting their asses kicked, the Democratic Party’s lawfare aces didn’t think the enemy had the wherewithal to resist their innovations, much less adapt and then do some audacious innovating of their own. People like Benjamin Wittes and Jack Smith are tactical geniuses and strategic dopes.
Trump has figured out how to use his dual natures - citizen and President - in his favor. In keeping with the Civil War-ish post above, Lincoln took advantage of the rebels’ dual natures. Sometimes he treated them like enemy belligerents, other times like ordinary American criminals. As another commenter on this thread alluded, the Dems tried to use this same technique against Trump, prosecuting him as an ordinary defendant, but often for things he could only have done as President. Trump has flipped that script. In the IRS case, he is an ordinary victim/plaintiff of that agency - which he now happens to run. If you didn’t want a president in this position, you shouldn’t have abandoned Muh Norms of punishing presidents only by putting them out of office. CC, JSM
Really should go under the Trump Is Like Jesus tag. He is both high priest and sacrificial victim. Sacrificing himself to himself. For us. CC, JSM
The traitors are all mad the people they censored and persecuted will be compensated.
You guys should settle down and lie low.
Nobody likes you.
Personally I hope you all keep pushing by the way.
You need to face consequences just like the NAZIs did. Anyone who supported Obama should be pariahs for the rest of history.
The Trump administration sued itself, settled with itself and created a $1.8 bn fund for the cases it says were unfair.
That is not justice. It is power laundering itself through procedure.
At least Trump has a chance of winning when he’s negotiating with himself. Otherwise, meh?
Those arguing that Congress should oversee the fund may have a point. Congress has a lot of experience administering its own secret slush fund. How about they come clean about where it goes, though, before they miss with this fund?

Kind of true!
Because, of course, the left has decided in advance that Trump is definitionally - depending on the situation - guilty, wrong, stupid, fascist... we all know the refrain. And therefore institutions that the left has spent the last three or four generations infecting with the disease they carry make the same advance, permanent judgment. And that judgment, itself, is used as prima facie proof (not just evidence) of Trump's guilt, wrongness, stupidity, fascism...
It's so frustratingly circular.
I also tend to find it inexplicable. Why this guy, specifically? But then I realize two things: they've been ramping it up for my entire life, and despite their present, more or less open protestations that It's Different Now Because Trump (amazing that they can get away with this too, the open admission that they're willing to torpedo the rule of law, constitutional and societal norms, and whatever residual trust the apolitical normies still have in them, in order to Get Trump), no way it ends with him.
"Because, of course, the left has decided in advance that Trump is definitionally - depending on the situation - guilty, wrong, stupid, fascist... we all know the refrain."
Rhetorical question... Since this is the position of the left, why should normal people pay them any serious attention at all?
