@benroyce@mastodon.social @mattblaze@federate.social Guys, the rug would have been "pulled out" before an #IRS tax structure was adopted to mange capital gains on #cryptocurrency sales. Now, I predict that there will be a culling in the crypto markets because there are nearly thousands of worthless grift within the market as you have correctly identified. Time, adaption and adoption should create the culling cycle eventually. Big risk is big reward or cascade failure.

#ToddBlanche, the acting US #AG, confirmed in writing [1 unsigned] on Sunday night that the #DOJ would abandon “elements” of the deal it struck with #Trump to “resolve” his lawsuit against the #IRS, conceding to demands from Republican senators who had threatened to block his nomination as attorney general. #law #criminal #theft #fraud #JudicialProcess #judiciary #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState #Jan6 #MAGASlushFund #SlushFund

The Republican holdouts, Sens John Cornyn (TX) & Thom Tillis of (NC), had vowed that they would not confirm #ToddBlanche for the role unless he provided written assurances that the #DOJ had formally killed a planned $1.8B #SlushFund to pay #Trump allies who claim they were unfairly persecuted by the government. The senators also insisted that Blanche narrow the scope of the sweeping #immunity from #IRS scrutiny granted to Trump, his family & their businesses under the same agreement. #law

#ToddBlanche posted 2 documents on social media on Sunday night∶ a signed memo in which he said that the #DOJ was formally rescinding an order that created the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” & an UNSIGNED‼️ statement in which the agency clarified the terms of the #IRS protections. #Trump #law #criminal #theft #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState #Jan6 #SlushFund

The unsigned #IRS document posted by #ToddBlanche said that only #Trump, 2 of his sons & the #TrumpOrganization would be granted #immunity from audits, excluding a broader pool of Trump family members & their associates who appeared to be eligible for protection under the original #DOJ deal. Blanche also stipulated that their future tax returns could still be audited. #law #criminal #theft #fraud #JudicialProcess #judiciary #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState

Still, even in its new form, #ToddBlanche’s order for the #IRS to abandon any audits of #Trump’s previous tax returns is an unprecedented & “potentially” (definitely) illegal benefit to a sitting president, worth tens of millions of dollars in lower taxes & avoided penalties. #law #criminal #theft #fraud #JudicialProcess #judiciary #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState

F that. And f them. #GOP senators say they will back #ToddBlanche nomination for #US #AG. Two Republican senators who threatened to block acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s bid to lead the #DOJ said Monday that they will vote to advance his nomination, ending an impasse over plans to create a fund to compensate #Trump’s allies. [But apparently they’re fine with giving him immunity from the #IRS.]

Pretty telling what #CapitalOne is doing and how #TACO47 is trying hard to push through his #slushfund with the added immunity to reviews from #IRS for the entire #Trump clan. We are witnessing shameless white-collar #crime committed in broad daylight here, folks. Bigly so. #Uhmerica #UnitedStates

#Trump said Thursday he may pull the nomination of #ToddBlanche for Attorney General, looking to avoid concessions to holdout #Republicans. Lawmakers on Wednesday scrapped a planned committee vote after key Republicans demanded more assurances about the “settlement” of Trump’s lawsuit against the #IRS. #SlushFund #TaxpayersMoney #fraud #law #DOJ #LegalEthics #MafiaState #authoritarianism #AbuseOfPower #AbuseOfOffice

Ending his #IRS lawsuit could allow #Trump to pursue a #settlement instead [he’d likely lose the lawsuit, he might get $$ from a settlement]. Trump moved on Monday to dismiss his extraordinary $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS that claimed the tax agency had improperly released some of his financial records [records he had promised to release himself]. #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy

The substance of Trump’s suit stems from the leak of his tax returns to The New York Times in 2019. #Trump, 2 of his sons & his family business argue that the #IRS should have done more to prevent a former contractor from leaking tax information to The Times & ProPublica. While federal #law allows for people to sue the IRS when their tax information is leaked, legal experts saw clear flaws in Trump’s suit…. #criminal #law #scammer #fraud #TaxpayersMoney #DOJ #kleptocracy

So freaking illegal. There was literally no one representing the American people. #DOJ announces a $1.7B fund to compensate #Trump allies in a deal to drop #IRS suit The Trump admin on Monday announced the creation a $1.7 billion #MAGASlushFund to compensate allies of Trump who believe they were “mistreated” by the #Biden admin. The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” was announced by the DOJ as part of a “deal” to “resolve” Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS. #law

…2 weeks ago, Judge Kathleen Williams of Federal District Court in Southern District of Florida wrote that she was “extremely troubled” by Blanche’s answers to the #Senate about the #SlushFund. In testimony in May, #ToddBlanche told senators there was “no mechanism” for a legal review of the agreement creating the fund. He argued documents had never been submitted to a court for scrutiny because the case, a lawsuit #Trump filed against the #IRS over the leak of his tax returns, was dismissed.

Amazing they can recognize the corruption in this situation but not in so many others. Still I’ll take it. I just hope they can maintain their resistance. Vote on #ToddBlanche Is Delayed After #Republican Senators Express Skepticism Over #IRS “Provision” John Cornyn & Thom Tillis accused the nominee for attorney general of refusing to put on paper his promise to kill aspects of the deal he cut to settle #Trump’s suit against the IRS. #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #SlushFund

The tax provision emerged as the biggest sticking point on the eve of a scheduled #Judiciary Cmte vote. Cornyn, a former state #judge who lost a primary to a #Trump backed challenger, Ken Paxton [total POS], said he had received no written assurances from #ToddBlanche that the #IRS audit shield would not apply to future tax liabilities or be extended to a wider circle of people. #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #SlushFund

Finally, #Schiff talked at length about Trump's ultimate #corruption — Suing the #IRS (so essentially suing himself since he puts people in power in the IRS) to create a "slush fund" to reward those loyal to him, incl. violent #Jan6 offenders. Schiff said the "grand total" of Trump's "Top 10" acts of corruption is ~$6 billion to American taxpayers. 👀 Schiff also said that #trump bought #NVIDIA stock BEFORE he approved the company's major overseas sales deal 👀🤯 /9 #USA #US #USpol #PayToPlay

US judge nullifies Trump deal to resolve IRS lawsuit in scathing ruling | Donald Trump | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/13/trump-irs-ruling-judge-kathleen-williams "A federal judge on Monday nullified an agreement the government reached with Donald Trump and his sons over the leak of his tax returns. The judge lambasted the government and president’s lawyers for using the judicial process to try to concoct a beneficial arrangement for the president." #Trump #IRS

NBC News Top Stories | Judge says Trump admin attempted to ‘manipulate the judicial process’ with its IRS settlement by Gary Grumbach, Dareh Gregorian AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams ruled that former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS was filed “in bad faith” to manipulate the judicial process and secure immunity for Trump‑affiliated individuals, rather than to vindicate any legal right. The judge found that the case was never truly adversarial, noting the $1.776 billion “anti‑weaponization” fund was a branding effort, and she imposed sanctions on several of Trump’s lawyers—including acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, and attorney Alejandro Brito—and barred another lawyer, Daniel Z. Epstein, from filing cases in the Southern District of Florida for at least a year. Williams also ordered that Trump, his organization, and related parties may not reference the disputed settlement in any future legal or administrative proceeding, and referred the matter to bar associations for possible disciplinary action.
