I did not think I could get more incensed by the corruption of Trump's weaponisation slush fund. But today I am incandescent: Todd Blanche is now trying to BRIBE the senate to pass the slush fund by dangling dollars in front of Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Jack Hawley, suggesting that they could get massive payouts for the fact that their phone call logs were subpoenaed in connection with the January 6th insurrection. How much farther down the gutter can you crawl? Those subpoenas were correctly predicated. Why should Congress be exempt from that? If you can't do the time don't do the crime, folks. If you do stuff that sets the investigatory alarms ringing, why should you be treated as if you are above investigatory process or above the rule of law? Your constituents don't get payouts for such things. Neither should you. It was already shockingly corrupt that Trump (the twice -impeached-rapist-felon) ginned up the January 6th insurrection and pardoned many of its perpetrators. It was already shockingly corrupt that the senate tried to incorporate payolas for those subpoenas in an earlier budget. Now Todd Blanche (the president's lawyer) is trying to bribe you all by dangling benefits to a few of you in exchange for the slush fund. No! NO! NO NO NO! Say NO to the SLUSH FUND. It's illegal and unconstitutional. It's illegal. It's despicable. It's reprehensible. And now the senate has bunked off to play hokey because you can't agree on a budget. Impeach Trump, impeach Todd Blanche. Hear our outrage.
