Trump wants $230,000,000.00 from the US taxpayer.

[The Irish Ram]

OF course you do! Don't worry it'll come out of your pocket. The only difference is, you're thrilled to hand over your money to Trump! Too bad it has to come out of the pockets of real hardworking Americans pockets as well.

Where the hell do you think the money came from to attack Trump in the courts? They cost him millions. They owe him millions.

Same place it comes from every time a criminal is investigated and prosecuted.

As well as the taxpayers that funded these kangaroo court proceedings.

Genuflecting and weeping for your cult leader is one thing.

Demonstrating problems with the prosecutions is another, which you and Trump cannot do.

But that won't matter, as he has his asslickers making the decisions, now.

 

[Marener]

He didn’t unilaterally decide he filed these claims in 2023 and 2024 you idiot

And now that he’s president, he can decide to settle his own lawsuits for hundreds of millions of dollars.

The stonewalling of justice stops

 

[Independent thinker]

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

The situation has no parallel in American history, as Mr. Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election, taking over the very government that must now review his claims. It is also the starkest example yet of potential ethical conflicts created by installing the president’s former lawyers atop the Justice Department.

***********************************************************************************
Given that the Trump Administration is an open sewer of corruption, it is no surprise that he wants 1/4 billion from us. Trump has his sycophants in place, so he will be paid what he wants. The Trump family which has made billions off his cryptocurrency scams also has an insatiable appetite for more money. The monetization of the presidency continues. Trump's greed has no bounds.

Let's face it. The US we knew is no longer. We live in a kleptocracy.

He has been defamed far more than that. But, it should be paid solely out of democrat funds.

Well there is the dumbest thing anyone will read all week.

Good god we are a country of idiots.

Trump telling the government to give him hundreds of millions of dollars is justice?

No, it's corruption. I thought you weren't supposed to use your position of authority to benefit yourself monetarily?

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases​

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

The situation has no parallel in American history, as Mr. Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election, taking over the very government that must now review his claims. It is also the starkest example yet of potential ethical conflicts created by installing the president’s former lawyers atop the Justice Department.

Mr. Trump submitted complaints through an administrative claim process that often is the precursor to lawsuits. The first claim, lodged in late 2023, seeks damages for a number of purported violations of his rights, including the F.B.I. and special counsel investigation into Russian election tampering and possible connections to the 2016 Trump campaign, according to people familiar with the matter. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the claim has not been made public.

The result of a request like this should be for there to be a hearing to review trump's claim on $230M. Not something he wants since it will require a re-examination of the cases against him.

Obviously this presents an enormous conflict of interest for Pam and Co.

But hey, these are anything but normal times so my guess is he'll get paid.

Senior department officials who were defense lawyers for the president and those in his orbit are now in jobs that typically must approve any such payout, underscoring potential ethical conflicts.

When did Trump win the lawsuit?

 

[LeftofLeft]

If it were a lie, then Trump wouldn't have had to run for office to stay out of prison.

The person who prosecuted Trump needs to figure out a way to keep out of prison for mortgage fraud.

When did Trump win the lawsuit?

Back in 2023 and 2024 when it was filed

 

[TemplarKormac]

Threads merged. Carry on.

I’d rather the DOJ spend $230M and then some to fight ANTIFA.

Considering the career prosecutors who investigated her said she should not be charged... and that she was only charged once a cult asslicker with no prosecutorial experience was installed... I would say, you might want to move on to a better talking point.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Same place it comes from every time a criminal is investigated and prosecuted.

Funny how he wasn't a criminal until he declared he was running for President. And BAM, 91< as in 91 charges were filed against him all at once, and you expect us to not realize the reason the lawfare was implemented against him? You got greedy and went WAY overboard. And you are still trying the same stupid tactic that was a failure to begin with.
You dumbasses got him elected. Thank you, now pay him back what you cost him. Use your own money to do it, because we did cause the problem...

 

[Marener]

Back in 2023 and 2024 when it was filed

Prove it.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Funny how he wasn't a criminal until he declared he was running for President.

Normal people understand that he was told he was about to be prosecuted, and that's why he declared his candidacy earlier than any candidate in history.

Normal people also understand that this means the investigations and charging decisions were made before he declared.
