Q: Do you think the DOJ ought to settle the president's $10b lawsuit? Is there a conflict of interest? MIKE JOHNSON: Um. One of the things that is not in my purview is the DOJ, ok? I haven't thought about that or read into it. I got enough to say grace over every day. Go ask the executive branch.

Hey dumbf*&^ Trumpers, are you tired of winning from all this blatant corruption and pilfering of our treasury?

Do you honestly think you've gotten the government you wanted when you voted for that s*&^bag again like a bunch of idiots?

Yes, a slush fund from which Trump will hand out taxpayer's money to convicted felons and disbarred lawyers...

Is there a conflict of interest?

Well, yeah.

Lemme ask a question ...

How much money might Mr Hunter Biden get from the fund because Pres Biden's DoJ investigated/prosecuted him?

Translation... he dropped a frivolous lawsuit that was going nowhere...in a debate wouldn't last long enough to divert the news cycle.

So yeah. Reporting was a little confusing (intentionally?) I looked it up and reread it. He is dropping the suit as long as he gets $1.7 billion dollars to reward his criminal cohorts with.

Each pardoned J6 insurrectionist can get a million dollars and there will still be money left over to bribe with.

America should disgusted. They should be up in arms about it.

But apparently just another criminally negligent day in the Convicted Felon's Trumplandia.

The Justice Department on Monday announced the creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate President Donald Trump's allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by the previous administration.

It's a slush fund for pedo 47's filth-smearing cop killers.
