We want two things.

We want a free pass for all future tax criming forever and ever, apparently, and the $1.7 billion thug fund to give money to all my henchmen and cronies.

None of these things are related.

Like, can we just pause on that for a second?

Tax returns being leaked does not mean Donald Trump gets $1.7 billion to throw around as Trump bucks for his friends.

Like that, I feel like the news cycle...

didn't really pause on that enough.

And Todd Blanch, he was on Capitol Hill the other day.

That connection, that tenuous, not even a tenuous connection, was never explored.

But then if you want to rewind back just a little bit further, people are kind of surprised that this idea of JSEC's reparations came out of the blue.

No, it didn't.

It absolutely did not.

This has been a part of the whole pardon discussion they had since Donald Trump was campaigning for the 2020 election.

This has always been on the table.

And people who brought it up, you know, the Republican allies that he has in places like the Hill would dismiss it just like they thought the pardons were crazy.

Like, oh, that's never going to happen.

Ed Martin, Eagle Ed Martin was running around talking about reparations on podcasts with Benny Johnson.

You know how the J6 rioters deserve justice and like, oh, that's crazy talk.

Oh, well, here we are.

Here we are, $1.7 billion later.
