The commission will be the worst Trump brown-nosers they can find. They can just dismiss the claims they don't like. There is no way, if the commission gets set up and allowed to dispense any money, that they will consider for a microsecond giving money to people Trump and his cronies have wronged.

This has to be fought before it gets to that stage. I don't know if it needs a confirmed attorney general to appoint the commission - if it does, then the hearings for that are one line of attack - make clear that any Republican voting for a Trump nominee is corrupt, and if they face re-election in 2026 or 2028, that's what will be used against them - stealing $1.8 billion of taxpayer money. And this needs to be fought in all courts possible - the president should not be able to set up, on his own, a slush fund of taxpayer money under the control of his pawns.

This is, as has been pointed out, the most corrupt act in the history of the US. This is not a "we can slow it by asking to take part in the corruption" moment.

This is not a neutral court that's being set up here. You might as well say "tie up the Trump Super PACs by flooding them with requests for money".

I think the courts will stop him from stealing at least this portion of taxpayer's money.

The "plan" to pay J6ers, etc, is a smoke screen, the fascist pig will keep all that money. He might use some of it to pay his militia that will help him overturn the 2026 midterms.

I feel victimized by this administration and President every damn day. I also want reparations (with interest) from his first term.
