Corrupt Democrats and deep staters who have twisted justice to target their political enemies can’t stand the idea of their victims receiving restitution.
It should be no surprise that D.C. creeps like Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. — who should be behind bars, not in Congress — have excoriated President Donald Trump and his administration’s “anti-weaponization fund.” Nor should it be a surprise that the Trump-hating accomplice media is throwing gasoline on the Democrat-lit bonfire over the fund. Some Republican senators, ever afraid of Trump sparks, and their own shadows for that matter, have joined the pitchfork parade.
While the $1.776 billion indemnity does raise some transparency concerns, its political critics like to contend that A) the Biden administration did not use the Department of Justice and outside lawfare bloodsuckers to lead witch hunts against Trump, his allies and other Democratic Party political enemies and B) Trump allies victimized by weaponized government don’t deserve recompense.
They also insist that the pool is an “illegal slush fund.” It is not. Congress authorized and established a fund to pay judgments against the United States 70 years ago.
“The Fund was created as a permanent, indefinite appropriation to streamline payments for eligible judgments and later settlements where no other agency funds were available,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told The Federalist. Its history is well documented.
Lost in the din of who does and doesn’t deserve restitution from government abuses are the people crushed under the corrupt justice of political weaponization. The victims are men like Wisconsin attorney and former judge Jim Troupis and Dr. Ron Elfenbein, dragged through hell in years-long — and ongoing political prosecutions. They have been ground underfoot by what Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has described as the weaponized “machinery of government.”
‘Five Years of Time Lost’
Troupis, who is being prosecuted by far-left Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul for having the temerity to represent Trump’s Wisconsin campaign in the wake of the rigged 2020 election, is seeking $3.2 million from the anti-weaponization fund, according to a request obtained by The Federalist. In his letter to Blanche, the former Dane County, Wisconsin judge and nationally renowned election law expert, writes that he and his family have lived a nightmare since he stepped forward in November 2020 to represent the president.
“The government weaponization against me includes no fewer than 17 separate legal actions,” Troupis writes, asserting that he has been buried under $1.7 million in costs associated with the left’s lawfare campaign against him over the past five-plus years. Troupis, 72, claims he’s been forced to draw down his retirement savings to cover his defense costs, expenses that “will likely cost me our family home and the balance of my retirement funds.”
He’s paid much more, he writes, in the annihilation of his reputation and law practice, “thousands of hours in preparation and response” to the relentless legal assault against him, prosecutorial harassment of family members, and “five years of time lost with my children and grandchildren.”
