In reply to the discussion: Justice Department announces a $1.7B fund to compensate Trump allies in a deal to drop IRS suit [View all]Scrivener7
(60,071 posts)36. Did I tell y'all about my friend who lost his job? He was an administrator of a company that employed
nurses who treated old people's tunneling bedsores.
Ever seen a tunneling bedsore? It's one of the most painful things imaginable.
But the funding for that service was cut by something like 80%, so his company disbanded.
Now all those people are out of jobs, and all those old people have no one to treat them.
Because we are supposed to believe there isn't enough money in Medicare and Medicaid to treat them.
Because someone needs a billion dollar ballroom and a 1.7 billion dollar slush fund for his corrupt cronies to steal from.

OP
It should take at least as long for Trump to get his $1.7B as it'll take E. Jean Carroll to receive her money.

And where is this money going to come from? Doesn't Congress have to approve something like this?

Wow! Trump is really a master dealmaker; he negotiated himself down from $10B to $1.7B, saving us $8.3B.

Both men in charge at the IRS and the DOJ are "acting heads," neither have been confirmed, and both are Trump stooges.

If that's what this fund truly is, then Democrats that the DOJ attacked at the behest of Trump should get their share.
