“Look what they just tried to sneak through at midnight,” wrote Brett Meiselas, co-founder of the progressive media organization MeidasTouch.
Reading the “fine print” of Blanche’s notice, however, MeidasTouch argued that the DOJ not only neglected to terminate Trump’s IRS immunity, but had actually reaffirmed it.
“Todd Blanche’s new order rescinds the May 18 Anti-Weaponization Fund – but quietly leaves the May 19 IRS immunity settlement intact,” reads a statement from MeidasTouch published on social media.
It appears Trump was willing to throw the Jan. 6 defendants under the bus while preserving his own IRS immunity deal.
Ben Meiselas, another founder of MeidasTouch, argued that the language of Blanche’s notice not only preserved Trump’s IRS immunity, but may not even officially terminate the $1.7 billion fund.
