In mid-July, I explained that there is nothing dead about the outrageous “Anti-Weaponization Fund” — a raid on the public fisc ginned up as part of President Trump’s “settlement” with himself in his lawsuit against his administration over a time-barred leak of taxpayer information carried out by a convicted contractor of his last administration. Notwithstanding the insistence of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the settlement agreement that created this slush fund can only be amended by a written agreement of the parties.
Blanche has resisted memorializing in writing his claim that the fund is kaput, because President Trump wants the fund. Blanche’s intransigence on this matter, and his tortured testimony at the recent confirmation hearing on his nomination to be full-fledged AG, is now threatening to derail that appointment.
