The slush fund cancellation isn't the altruistic thing you may think it is
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5902065-trump-irs-lawsuit-reopened/To remind us: The Justice Department created a $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, which was supposed to be used to make whole all Trump's minions who suffered "damage" because of the shit they pulled, in exchange for Trump dropping his $10 billion lawsuit against the government over the court-ordered closure of the Trump Presidential Library.
Well...the judge who originally took the case, one US District Judge Kathleen Williams, reopened the case today.
The only bright part of this whole sordid affair is that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's Get Out Of Taxes Forever Free order is now also dead.
