Once a person gets the taste of the freebie private jet / luxury RV lifestyle it’s hard to give it up, especially for “principles” one never gave a real shit about in the first place

No wonder the judges are angry. Apart from anything else, the 1776 fund is to be withdrawn from a Congressionally-authorized fund to pay COURT ORDERED settlement amounts, and neither the Trump fund nor the sweeping tax relief granted to the president was ever so much as shown to the judge.

A contractor hired by trumps IRS leaked the information. How was trump’s reputation damaged? How could it possibly be worse than it already is? The American treasury is being looted.

I think she’s probably afraid because if she blows up the J6 slush fund she will likely need security for the rest of her life. Even so, that’s no excuse for allowing Blanche to claim the case settled (and to modify the fake settlement).

Let's Make America Trumpless Again! The reasons are vast. We all know them. Let's all join together on one historic day in action. Let's make our collective voice heard! Heard loudly! Please repost the image and ask others to do the same. Don't forget to add this to your calendar.

This takes place the day after his UFC birthday bash. Let's have him wake up to news of Congress being flooded with calls. Calls demanding he be removed from office. United, we are the true power in this country. Let's remind Trump of that. One day. One million calls. We can make it happen!

Little legal knowledge here but it does seem unlikely that one can ‘settle’ one’s own case and award oneself a ‘settlement’ without any judge weighing in.

To the degree that you're agreeing to just do something, you totally can... as long as you have the authority to do the thing(s) you're agreeing to do. But the entire reason Trump did this charade is that he doesn't have that authority, so yeah, this should not be allowed to hold.

IANAL, but it seems to me that a “settlement” behind closed doors and without judicial sign off is indistinguishable from a bribe between parties to get the case dropped

The argument is that the court has inherent authority to investigate a fraud perpetrated against it. The motion styles the movants as amici providing guidance about the court’s legal authority, not necessarily as a plaintiff with standing to sue. We’ll see what the judge thinks about that
