Trump’s dream of unlimited power and grift may finally be up against a wall, surprisingly, a GOP wall
The Thug Fund was a bridge too far as Todd Blanche, Trump’s personal lawyer with a part-time gig as acting AG, failed miserably to convince GOP Senators to approve a payoff to police beaters. He was unable to convince them despite offering a bribe that they too could profit from the $1.7 billion pot of gold, as some of their names were caught up in Jack Smith’s phone number search during his Jan 6 investigation.
Those of us from the Reagan/McCain/Dole/Boehner/Lott era are feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good today, watching the Senate leave town in disgust, refusing to vote for the brazen attempt by Trump to rob the taxpayers and pay off his private army of Oathkeepers and Proud Boys.
Will their spines soften or stiffen while home in their own districts? That is the question.
