From the NYT:
The $1.8 billion fund created by the Trump administration this week to pay people who claim mistreatment by the federal government appears to violate longstanding Justice Department standards and practices, as well as a policy directive issued by the administration last year, legal experts said on Wednesday.
Justice Department veterans have been deeply skeptical of those claims, particularly when it comes to a provision in the deal that offers President Trump, his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., and the Trump Organization immunity from tax penalties. They have also been critical of the decision to resolve a lawsuit filed by one group of people in a way that gives more than a billion dollars to an entirely different category of people.
“I have never heard of the department ever being willing to grant blanket immunity,” said Jennifer Ricketts, a former branch director in the department’s civil division. “That seems blatantly corrupt. It’s a shocking gift to the president.”
Justice Department veterans also said the new fund appeared to contradict a specific policy instituted by the Trump administration last year under former Attorney General Pam Bondi that largely prohibited payments to groups not involved in an underlying lawsuit.
Seriously, these guys don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Seriously, these guys don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Or they.just.don’t.care.
Even as our board MAGAs have remained silent in the face of the appalling corruption of this administration.
They don’t care either.
LM will call it a case of “he said she said”, and blame the coverage on a lying press.
Jedi will laugh at the 401k-ers getting it “good and hard” while telling us that we are the ones responsible for electing Trump, so we deserve it all.
And Dope will probably compare it all to Hunter Biden and crooked Democrats.
But as for this administration’s flagrant corruption…… not a peep, not a word of criticism will you hear from them.
Because they are fine with it.
They are fine with the corruption and cheer the cruelty, while calling the ignorance and incompetence “5D chess”.

There's NO WAY they'll win a 2nd term and appoint Amy, KAVANAUGH!, Gorscuch and get Roe overturned.
But if they do , we have a plan. We'l shout "ballroom" and "Epstein" ---AFTER we lose to him twice and then we'll spend a decade under his SCOTUS after he's gone.
LOl - we are badass. He's a loser.

Women are referred to by the color of their hair by White Liberal Misogynists.
These people have mistreated women, blacks, browns their whole life and get to hide behind "I'm a liberal"
Eventually, those they oppress will find them.

Todd Blanche is a worthless corrupt hack.

Todd Blanche is a worthless corrupt hack.
Plus, he's actually competent, and thus, dangerous, and he's really gunning for that AG job from Trump.

Plus, he's actually competent
He WAS competent, given that legal competence includes disposition and emotional stability.
And he shot that to shit when he boarded the Trump Train.
