the 1776 project?
You haven't seen the latest Trump corruption yet?
He sued his own IRS for his tax returns being leaked, and then dropped his suit with a settlement that created a $1.776 Billion dollar fund to compensate his violent insurrectionists who were prosecuted and then pardoned as heroes by Trump. He is claiming the Biden government weaponized the justice department against his loyal insurrectionists and deserve reparations to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars. They chanted 1776 when attacking the capitol, had it on flags and in Proud Boys planning documents titled β1776 Returns,β which laid out a scheme to seize federal buildings and force a new election. The $1,776 settlement amount was a symbolic tip of the hat to his insurrectionists that violence on Trump's behalf will be both pardoned and compensated by taxpayers.
The other part of the "settlement" is that Trump and his family members are immune from even being audited for tax evasion for life, they can cheat on their taxes for the rest of their lives, and they are immune from prosecution or even from being audited. The corruption is in your face now; they aren't even trying to hide it.
He's also pardoning his insurrectionists minions again where they have committed new crimes since the Jan 6 attack on the capital. A Kentucky man named Dan Wilson, for example, had already received a pardon from Trump but was found to be holding illegal weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition in his home β firearms he was not legally permitted to have due to previous felony convictions.
A Kentucky man named Dan Wilson, for example, had already received a pardon from Trump for his Jan. 6 crimes. But as part of the same investigation, investigators discovered a cache of illegal weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition in his home β firearms he was not legally permitted to have due to previous felony convictions. A Federal judge ruled that this separate offense was not covered by Trumps pardons, so he pardoned him again this month. In another example, FBI agents reached out to Ms. Kaye by phone three weeks after Jan. 6 to schedule a meeting, Ms. Kaye posted a series of videos online threatening the agents, one declaring that if the agents showed up at her home, she would exercise her βSecond Amendment rightβ to shoot them. Again, this was deemed outside of Trumps pardon for attacking the capital, so he pardoned her again this month.
Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut explained it best, βTrump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full-time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence.β
Trump is glorifying political violence and offering pardons and our tax dollars as rewards to violent offenders.
This is what I was referring to when I said if the violent offenders were wearing MAGA hats, "If they were, then they'd be getting a pardon and a few million from Trumps $1.776 BB fund to reward political violence.
