      Trump ASSOCIATES and family. So Trump’s business friends are immune from audits or paying taxes.

    2. “They’re so honest an audit wouldn’t find anything… Uh audits are a waste of money” just a few excuses they’d use

      This is a very insane world I’m living in. I can’t believe or understand how we’ve devolved into this.

      Trump suing his own government for a massive taxpayer funded payout into a slush fund for him, his criminal cohorts, and violent MAGA extremists is the most flagrantly corrupt act committed by a president in modern history.

      Remember Trump was a private citizen when he filed this frivolous lawsuit. But then he got elected and chose to pursue a settlement with himself.

      I thought MAGA was opposed to “handouts?” Dead set against “reparations?”

      Ahh, but not when those reparations are for white people huh?

      And only after the fact did we learn that the IRS will now be dropping audits and exempting the Trump family from accountability for all future tax crimes, no doubt at the president’s behest.

      Yes, the Trump family basically bought themselves immunity in perpetuity at the taxpayer’s expense.

      What’s one more staggering act of corruption?

      And while most of the money from this “settlement” will likely end up in Trump’s pockets one way or another, this whole scheme also serves a different purpose.

      $1.8 billion is a lot of money. Money that will no doubt be used for bribes.

      All criminal activity related to this slush fund will be done in secret, submerged in darkness. No oversight, no transparency, no accountability.

      Meaning that this incentivizes Trump’s violent followers and corrupt associates to not only commit crimes with impunity, but to eventually get PAID for it!

      Another thing to note is that for years, Trump and his election deniers have been trying to whitewash the violence, terror and upheaval of January 6th, as well as the crimes committed by Trump and his co-conspirators.

      This includes their efforts to overturn a free and fair election and facilitate an attack on our nation’s Capital.

      Such a blatant act of corruption serves the purpose of not just absolving these criminals of wrongdoing, but also making those criminals out to be the victims and vice versa.

      It also helps to legitimize conspiracy theories about January 6th, as well as Trump’s lies about the 2020 election; saving him from the humiliation of defeat.

      Trump and his MAGA base have also been insisting for years that they are victims of a targeted “deep state” conspiracy led by Democrats; constantly lamenting their “persecution” and “censorship” at hands of some nebulous, radical left-wing oppressor.

      But the reality is and always has been that they are incapable distinguishing between “political persecution” and ACCOUNTABILITY.

      This absurd narrative suggesting that Democrats have “weaponized” the justice system against Trump is quickly dispelled by the fact that Trump and his disreputable associates took great pains to obstruct justice, circumvent the courts, establish blanket immunities for Trump, and shut these cases down as soon as Trump came into power.

      Cases mind you, that most legal experts say were lawfully warranted and had more than enough evidence behind them to convict.

      Otherwise, why would Trump go to such great lengths to evade accountability?

      The hypocrisy of it all is baffling.

      Because as it stands, the Trump administration is currently engaging in an unprecedented retribution campaign.

      Since Trump entered office, he has installed loyalists into positions of power within the DOJ and FBI while making these agencies subordinate to him.

      Donald Trump and his allies have been purging the government of all officials who refuse to choose Trump over the rule of law.

      Worse yet, Trump has been firing federal attorneys who don’t toe the line; consolidating prosecutorial power under his administration.

      As the Biden administration’s AG, Merrick Garland was criticized by the left for sitting on his hands and refusing to follow through on investigating Trump’s corruption, obstruction of justice, and criminal misconduct, including his efforts to interfere in the 2020 election and foment a riot at our Capitol.

      Joe Biden even made it a point to distance himself from an independent DOJ. The same cannot be said of Donald Trump.

      Meanwhile, throughout most of Biden’s term, congressional Republicans were leading bogus, partisan inquiries into the so-called “Biden crime family” with nothing to show for it.

      This is because their allegations would actually be credible if levied against the Trump family.

      No president or presidential family has ever been so flagrantly and financially corrupt.

      I assume this immunity is from the government doing audits, but what if a private investigator/journalist is able to get hold of the info and a private company does the investigation and then releases it online/in a paper ?

    6. Reminds me how Putin made laws that former president can’t be tried for crimes done during the term.
      Then he decided that this is bot enough, and made a law that former president can’t be tried for any crime they commit even after the term (forever).
