Trump PARDONS the J6 Insurrectionists/Rioters and now he wants to give them CASH too? Who’s he trying to FOOL?

FOOL US ONCE. BUT DONT FOOL US TWICE.

You’ve highlighted a major point of friction currently unfolding on Capitol Hill.

The situation centers on Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General, which stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee after key Republican Senators—specifically John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC)—refused to advance his nomination without formal, written commitments from the Department of Justice.

What the Conflict Is About

The controversy stems from a settlement agreement negotiated between the DOJ (under Blanche as Acting AG) and President Trump regarding a $10 billion lawsuit over leaked tax returns:

The Texas Tribune

• The “Anti-Weaponization” Fund: The initial settlement created a proposed $1.776 billion fund intended to compensate individuals who claimed they were targets of political persecution by federal authorities. Critics raised concerns that this money could be disbursed to January 6 rioters or political allies. While the DOJ publicly stated in June that the fund was dead, Senators Cornyn and Tillis are demanding a binding written agreement formally terminating it so it cannot be revived through future litigation.

• Audit Immunity Scope: The settlement also included a broad tax immunity provision shielding Trump, his family members, and associated business entities from IRS tax audits and liabilities for prior returns. Cornyn and other lawmakers have voiced concern over the precedent and breadth of this clause, demanding that the DOJ explicitly restrict the immunity in writing so it cannot apply to future filings or an expanded group of associates.

Senate Standoff & Current Status

Because Republicans hold a narrow margin on the Judiciary Committee, opposition from Cornyn and Tillis leaves Blanche short of the votes needed to favorably report his nomination to the full Senate.

As a result, Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley postponed the scheduled confirmation vote to allow ongoing negotiations between the DOJ and key senators. Both Cornyn and Tillis—who are not returning to Congress at the end of their terms—have maintained that they will withhold their votes until the Justice Department puts explicit boundaries on both the fund and the audit immunity clause in writing.
