Amazing that many of these multi-million dollar "settlements" were paid off with 50 cents on the dollar if donated to a leftwing cause instead of going into the U.S. Treasury. I only learned this recently.

Surely this can't be legal. At least, not without a corrupt AG to provide cover.

Does anybody know?

There is even a bill passed by the House called The Stop Settlements Slush Fund Act. Our weak congressional Republicans did not even make a big enough deal about these slush funds that I, who consider myself rather well-informed due to FreeRepublic, did not know about this passing on of money from banks to liberal/leftist organizations. A complete outrage!
