This Thursday morning, I’ll be joining Meghna Chakrabarti on her nationally recognized show, On Point, airing live on more than 350 stations coast to coast.
June 2, 2026 Update: As I predicted, Todd Blanche told lawmakers the Justice Department is dropping the proposed $1.8 billion compensation fund for alleged victims of unfair prosecutions.
At the same time, he defended a settlement that gave the president, his family, and their businesses broad protection from future IRS investigations.
That doesn’t work for me.
It’s a bullshit deal that lacks any valid consideration.
What in the hell does future immunity have to do with addressing past frivolous allegations relating to a case that was dismissed by the alleged aggrieved parties.
Nothing.
Just like the underlying “settlement” I see the IRS deal also eventually being revoked voluntarily or by court order.
Mark my words. You're going to be reading much more about this case in the future.
Just finished the show. WOW! What a tremendous deep dive. I can't wait to read/hear your analysis after this is all over. Just my opinion, but every lawyer in the DOJ/Congress that touches this slush fund or approves it, and every financial institution that handles those funds if it goes that far should be prosecuted/disbarred. Thanks again.
