Trump would rather pull Blanche’s nomination for AG than allow him to commit in writing that Trump’s IRS deal is off. The immunity Blanche granted to Trump from IRS audits is a windfall that some experts estimate is worth $100 million in taxpayer funds for Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

What does that tell you!

the agreement shields trump from ALL federal investigations, including the IRS.

Is it really a "deal"? Isn't it "self-dealing"? And isn't self-dealing a crime? So please, call it that - a "crime". It's more accurate, & more honestly conveys what Republicans are doing here.

I love the GOP talking point that Blanche is doing a good job because homicides are down. The pinky toe on my right foot has more to do with homicides being down than Todd Blanche. And I am left footed.

Did they include the murders committed by ICE? How about the kidnapping?

It’s almost as if POTUS is admitting he has committed tax fraud.

98% of the posts on this site could be replied to with the phrase: "That will happen when you fail to hold anyone accountable for a coup and the perpetrators manage to take power."

Seems so illegal

Tillis and Cornyn are going to cave, aren’t they? This is breaking my heart. They could be courageous and do the right thing, but they won’t. They’re simply pretending they might. Cowards, all.

They will because "well Blanche said he would do it." As if Blanche is someone they can trust!!! Gah!!!! It's so frustrating!

Wouldn’t it also mean that the “slush fund” would continue to disburse funds to whomever he deems worthy?

I thought NYT allowed unlimited gift articles now; please use a gift link next time Barb! Thanks,

An acting AG can just say he wants his client to have immunity and that becomes fact? Same with the ludicrous 1776 billions? An acting AG should not have that privilege to just hand over tax payers dollars to whomever. That doesn’t make any sense.

Won't Blanche just refuse to put it in writing and then continue on as Acting A.G.?

Under what authority can any AG grant anybody immunity for criminal activity?? Doesn’t any such grant have to come from the judicial branch and cite either the constitution or some law passed by the legislative branch?

Didn't a judge quash this settlement, including the IRA immunity? What am I missing?

Not that I think DJT should get a deal from IRS, but given imperial powers that SCOTUS has granted the President, not obvious to me that any future President would have to honor this deal if actually “made”. Rather it could be ignored/repudiated at the direction of the future President. Lock Him Up!

What Cornyn didn’t ever mention was The Epstein Files

Trump’s motivation could not be any more clear, yet his supporters are still unable to figure it out.

In addition to having illegal intent, Blanche and trump intentionally lied to the public, Blanche under oath.

Whenever I see this aspect covered I can't help wondering why there isn't more outrage over the idea he likely has committed tax fraud which is why he's fighting so hard for get out of jail free card from IRS.

Because there are 600 other points of corruption to attend to this week. The American public can't stay dialed in to any one thing.

HE WANTS THE NEW LAW If you crime for the FUHRER you get rewards not punishment

If the Dems flip the senate then the immunity deal won't ever get done. All the more motivation

Yes but more Goodfellas than The Godfather

Definitely more than $100m. Forbes says as much as $600m. This is just another way to loot the Treasury.

How does the IRS immunity deal pass muster? Everyone else must pay taxes. Courts have always ruled against the crackpots who argued that taxation is unconstitutional - therefore it IS required, right? Has anyone else been granted audit immunity? Taxes keep the U.S going. Non payment is treason.

Blanche thinks Trump is his friend and will fight for him, ha ha ha ha. The Republican party is full of Blanches and fascists and it'll take about 10 minutes to replace him with someone just as corrupt who will make the slush fund and IRS immunity happen. GOP senators will go along with it.

That guy doesn’t use email for a reason.

Of course he would.

Blanche has no legal ability to grant lifetime immunity from tax audits to the Trump/Kushner Gang. In fact,it would violate tax laws, and the underlying lawsuit was a fraud on the court, and a sham.

Plus he keeps just getting away with temporary cabinet posts and not one stops that so in a way still business as usual..

follow the possible money for the end game

Blanche's grandkids will get to remember that grandpa was almost an AG but the senate thought he was too corrupt.

If the #Republicans allow this to pass,,, you can see that they are so weak and are useless to this government!! #VoteThemOut
