:nod:

And she should be prosecuted too if there’s a case. CH, you agree that all corruption, insider trading, violations of the Logan Act and emoluments clause should be prosecuted regardless of office or party affiliation.

Of course you do! High five!

So you've got NY's hush money case (A. Bragg) and civil fraud case (L James). The federal indictments and the Georgia case all had substantial enough evidence to not be considered "lawfare" although you could argue that the Georgia case belonged with the federal election interference case.

You've got nothing but another "but, but, but, deflection".

On election day 2024, the voters said that the biden/harris administration was a bust and they wanted something different just like on election day 2020, the voters said that the trump/pence administration was a bust and they wanted something different.

Do you really think he's going to back up anything? He's a master of "but, but, but, deflections" - all hat, no cattle.

He doesn't need to do any work. How'd all those cases turn out? Womp. Womp. Lawfare fail.

All your liberal lawyers you follow were wrong. In fact, have you ever been right? Nope.

The justice department quietly added a provision barring the IRS from auditing Donald Trump’s tax returns on Tuesday, amending a widely criticized agreement that creates a secretive and loosely controlled $1.776bn fund to compensate allies of the president.

The addendum, signed by Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, says the government is “forever barred” and “precluded” from examining the tax returns of Trump, his family, company and “related companies”. The agreement applies to anything filed before the agreement was reached. It was posted on the justice department website on Tuesday morning, a day after the department announced creation of the fund.

The inclusion only adds to mounting scrutiny of the wider agreement reached on Tuesday. The arrangement was announced after Trump said he was dropping a $10bn lawsuit against the IRS and other specious claims against the government in exchange for creating the compensation fund. IRS officials recommended fighting Trump’s lawsuit, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, but the agency decided to settle it anyway, raising further questions about improper interference.

The fund will be run by five people – all subject to be fired at will by the president – and does not have to make public who it awarded money to or its reason for doing so.

If blanche can sign an addendum like that, what's to stop a future AG from signing an addendum that rescinds it?

Is that why they're trying so desperately to steal future elections?

What’s cute is you being so wrapped in the trolling and tribalism, you never asked yourself the why? Regarding many of those cases.

You get the same homework assignment or STFU.

Good.
The IRS is a corrupt, rogue agency that:
-illegally targeted conservative groups under Obama.
-Blocked their own investigators in their investigation of Hunter Biden.
-Illegally leaked 400k tax returns of wealthy Americans.
-Illegally leaked Trumps tax return.

The whole agency ought to be abolished.

That last paragraph. Oof.

I’m speaking from direct experience here…all government agencies, programs, spending, etc should have oversight required by law.

In this case especially as one man is overseeing the spending of our money, illegally taken.
