Trump Regime Dropping Slush Fund. Maybe.
Quote:The Trump administration signaled Monday it is backing off on creating a $1.8 billion fund announced by the Justice Department that could send money to allies of President Donald Trump deemed to be “victims of lawfare and weaponization.”
It comes after a fierce and rare backlash from Senate Republicans, who threatened to team up with Democrats to block the fund. About half the Republican conference appeared ready to vote with Democrats to restrict or kill it, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said last week.
In a statement, the Justice Department cited a federal judge’s ruling Friday that blocked the fund on a temporary basis, saying it “disagrees strongly” but “will abide by the Court’s ruling.”

Be fair - a whopping 10 Republicans voted for his impeachment.

It's at least nice to know they do have their limits. I suspect though that it is motivated by fear of voter backlash. MAGAts might not care about felonies, human rights violations or environmental degradation but they don't like it when someone takes their money and gives it to their buddies.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I don't think the DOJ actually has any authority to tell the IRS what they can't do.
