Weekend Report: Trump plans to pay Jan 6th thugs with “settlement” from his IRS lawsuit

And: Election denier released from prison by Dem Colorado Gov. Polis Activists who monitor ICE and support immigrants had their homes raided in California.

It doesn’t get more corrupt than this: Donald Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion over his tax returns being leaked, and a judge had already questioned the dubiousness—the outright grift—of the current president suing his own government and the American people. So the Justice Department has been working on a “settlement” in which $1.7 billion will be paid, and it will all go to the supposed “victims” of Biden-era prosecutions, including January 6th thugs Trump pardoned. This is a slush fund for those who will engage in violence on Trump’s behalf, and it must be stopped.

An imprisoned January 6th election denier, meanwhile, is being released from prison by Democratic Governor Jared Polis of Colorado, who defended it on CNN last night. Tina Peters was given clemency after being convicted of tampering with election machines, driven by Trump’s conspiracies. The governor is arguing that she’s served the penalty was excessive—a nine-year sentence—and that her crime was about the 2021 election, not 2020. But the only thing that drove this woman to commit a crime was Trump and his 2020 election fraud, and Trump has been pressuring Polis to release her.

In California dozens of federal agents banged on the doors of the homes of immigrant rights volunteers at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, targeting members of a peaceful, non-violent group of volunteers who support immigrants in the community and engage in patrols of immigration enforcement operations, all of which is legal. This is a stunning breach of civil rights and another example of how far the Trump administration will go.
