This doesn’t bode well for Trump’s $1.7 billion fund for convicted crooks and rioters: Rep Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): “we’re gonna kill it”

Rep Fitzpatrick (R-PA) tells me they’re drafting legislation right now to knock back - or at least investigate- the $1.7 billion taxpayer fund for crooks

Fitzpatrick has already won his primary and is in a battle for his political life in a purple seat that narrowly went with Harris in 2024. Expect more of this pushback from vulnerable Republicans in the coming months.

@ConnieCassidy67 This should go through the courts, there is no legal precedent for this, and furthermore, it is so abominable that Todd Blanche signed the addendum. I see this as extremely unethical, and a possible disbarment offense.

@AnIllicitWriter Thank you, @RepBrianFitz. Do it for 🇺🇸

Great, then the government will just settle Trump's lawsuit for the $1.7 billion to him, and he can then decide to help out anyone he wants to help. And Congress can fuck off.

It's about time. This is gross injustice from top to bottom.

yeah! that'll work b/c trump & blanche abide by the law...lol

Even the worthless sycophantic doormat GOP recognizes this is a political killer bomb for them.

This loser always sides with democrats. He's as bad as Massie and needs to go

Do so at your own peril .@RepFitzpatrick we are on a roll ridding our party of frauds like you.

Can we please round up, Scott? It's almost $1.8 billion. And, as American taxpayers, we really should sue the DOJ and IRS, if possible.

@frankdpi THANK YOU, Congressman @RepBrianFitz for putting country above party & not going along with this astonishingly corrupt scheme.

Americans can't afford gas, rent, or groceries. But Trump wants to steal $2 billion dollars from you and me. It's good to see some Republicans beginning to see the problem with this and are pushing back. It also helps that these same Republicans are in swing districts.

This is not a very bright move! If you stop the $1.776 billion, the $10 billion lawsuit continues! Trump wins the lawsuit and sets up the fund himself with the same money and has billions left over!

@aintscarylarry Ryan Fitzpatrick is a fucking piece of shit does nothing for Pennsylvania. He’s not a republican. He’s a democrat and sheep‘s clothing fuck him and fuck anybody who likes him. @RepBrianFitz

Hopefully they will also kill the other provision that Trump and family will be exempt from tax return review.

Hey look, @realDonaldTrump has forced the masks off of all the UniParty RINOs in Congress. @HouseGOP @SenateGOP we told you what we wanted, you’ve ignored us. So now our list of whom to remove will continue to grow.

Just fucken flip democrat asshole, this was his settlement for what happened to him and he donated it to the others who have been victims like him. Are you calling him a crook ? Your next shit face, he’s right about you

@bobinepa Then let’s stop Blanche’s attempt to prevent Trump, his family, his company & “associates” from an IRS audit, going after them if they don’t pay their taxes, etc. Blanche needs to be impeached. We need to fight this corruption!!! 🤬

Trump has demeaned and disparaged nearly everyone he could, while repeatedly and openly violating the law to divert American taxpayer dollars away from communities that were promised and deserve those investments. 🦹‍♂️🦹‍♂️🦹‍♂️ “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness.” ~ Donald Trump

@aintscarylarry Leftist republican is a little pussy bitch and will be waiting for the vote for American citizens to remove him from office

They may all wind up in jail if they do that. They all knew laws were being broken to try and get Trump.

@SBezsylko They better vote no on it

So he just reinstates the 10 billion lawsuit and you idiots go to court. Outside of DC. The entire he's going to give it to J6er's is Democrat propaganda and you respond to it. No wonder the GOP is so f-ed up. Democrats would have stood with Biden like a stone wall on it. Weak.

the sheer brassiness of it all, the hubris of his ego the outright blatant misuse of taxpayer funds is impossible to fathom and for Blanche to sign off on it, well there is nothing else to say except for what he said.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Some of these weasles realize the time after trump is coming soon, and they know this stinky deal will come back to haunt them.

I never thought Trump would build a bridge too far for Republicans to cross, but this might be it. It's bad enough to pardon criminals who tried to overthrow an election, but to pay them blood money with taxpayers' money is a slap in the face of all who value law and order.

@RedStateRob1

Corrupt and low IQ morons are going to deprive the victims of lawfare for their own personal gain. Got it. Funny how ppl always underestimate Trump.

"convicted crooks and rioters"...nice spin a$$hole. This is not for "convicted crooks and rioters", this is for the innocents who had their lives upended by a weaponized DoJ...falsely imprisoned, solitary confinement, divorce, suicide, bankruptcy...gFy

Lmao 🤣 didn’t Trump just slam him and his FOX news reporter wife today.

@BaddCompani

@mcarr2021 They won't be able to kill it because a bunch of gop senators and members want their cut of it. Remember when they tried to get paid for DOJ looking at their phone records!!

@Gitchimama It’s not a very popular idea.
