So fact check me here:

The money was part of a settlement between the IRS and Trump, correct? If this is the case, doesn't that mean this money will now be paid directly to Trump? ... and he can do whatever he chooses with those dollars.



i have not seen it reported anywhere that money would go to Trump, that just seems like wishcasting. Blanche stated yesterday the fund was done but that the audit protections would remain.


Usually when you sue and win, you determine how to use the proceeds. Some goes to your attorney.

When you reach a legal settlement, particularly with a government agency, then all sorts of caveats can be agreed to.

Here, Trump agreed that in exchange for any monies due him they instead for to the 1776 fund which Trump also agreed would exclude him from receiving those funds.

Judge here said we don't like the terms. Trump through Blanche said that we are not going to push back on the judge regarding the settlement fund, but the IRS audit protections should remain.

But I am not sure if the IRS audit "immunity" was totally separate.

You can read the actual settlement agreement. What do you mean no trustworthy source.

Well, if Trump can't have the money from the settlement and this fund idea is dead.... then where does the settlement money go?

Technically the Judge overseeing the original lawsuit has reopened it, so the settlement itself could be thrown out.

The fund/money was part of the settlement...if that is blown up, does the entire settlement follow the same path and a new deal struck? I have seen opinions ranging from the settlement sticks without the fund, to the settlement remains the funds will be distributed differently, to the entire settlement goes back to the drawing board. Again, none of what I have read would I consider a definitive "what next" from credible sources.

No idea though maybe one of the resident lawdawgs can chime in, but it may simply be unknown pending next actions by the judge or some hearing.

JTN: Norm Eisen group SUDC participated in prosecutions of Trump allies.
Quote:

Democratic attorneys general deputized private lawyers from a nonprofit run by former Obama ambassador and anti-Trump activist Norm Eisen to help prosecute supporters of President Donald Trump for organizing alternate electors to challenge the 2020 election results, according to tax records and internal memos released under open record laws.

The relationship between state and local prosecutors and Eisen's States United Democracy Center (SUDC) raises troubling questions about the independence of judicial decisions and the influence of a donor-funded group on matters of law and order, experts said.

At least one state Minnesota swore in lawyers from Eisen's SUDC as "special attorneys" serving "at the pleasure of the Attorney General," the memos show. Other state and local prosecutors accepted advice and free work, the memos show.

"This is highly inappropriate for left-wing nonprofits to become the prosecutors against their political enemies," Mike Davis, a former GOP Senate Judiciary Committee lawyer who vetted federal judges for two decades before founding the nonprofit Article III Project, told Just the News.

He's such a vile cretin.
