President Joe Biden will order the Justice Department to review a Trump administration rule that banned prosecutors from issuing settlement agreements that allowed defendants to pay outside special interest groups instead of their victims or the government.

funneling money to Dem affiliated special interest groups.

And these leftist tax deductible NGO's employ only Democrats and donate only to only Democrats. I am sure the the Clinton Global Initiative received a lot of money second hand from this scam. The graft and corruption of the American political class must make Mexican politicians feel like amateurs.

Cleaning up corruption and personal nasty ways was never promised. If your young daughter is felt-up and/or sniffed by Biden, your fellow citizens’ hard-earned tax money will be given to you not to speak about it.

Not a single day has elapsed and already we get a taste of the massive crime and fraud to come-—exactly what I was afraid of and predicted. The Dimmocommies will rob us dry through taxing and redirect the ill-gotten wealth to their under-the-table crime operations.

Environmental groups primary source of funds used to pay lawyers for other lawsuits so they can collect more funds.

This was a program where the government would shake down companies for donations to their pet causes. The settlements would count payment as a 1:1 if paid to the supposed victims (often there were no individuals), but credited 2:1 if paid to a Democrat-linked social action group. The company then got to deduct the payment, and claim it in their publicity.

They funneled BILLIONS to these groups, which were then active in local activism, elections and public propaganda.

This is a backdoor to destroy the Mid-East the Trump left. Payouts to terrorists and terrorist terror-itories (Pali’s).
