Many here will recall that Trump has insisted twice — and baselessly so — that Jim Comey be indicted by US DoJ MAGA acolytes serving under the tangerine dotard.

Apparently, overnight, Mr. Comey has sardonically raised his hand — and said he will apply for $2 million to $5 million, from the slush-fund — since both of these indictments were dismissed within weeks, as clearly baseless political stunts.

[Actually, though — his next words were that “this must be an Onion piece — it cannot be serious….”] I love the satire — and delicious irony. Mr. Comey is quite right, this Trumpian language is a tailored suit of clothes, to what has befallen him — albeit from Trump’s minions. He’s entitled to a payout, and Acting US AG Todd Blanche has said both Democrats and Republicans are eligible, donchaknow:

…The so-called “Anti-Weaponization Fund” will be administered by four commissioners appointed by Trump’s attorney general and one appointed “in consultation” with congressional leadership — Trump, who can fire the commissioners, will have ultimate control.

It will have the authority to issue formal apologies for alleged mistreatment of conservative political actors by previous administrations…. When Trump leaves office, any remaining money will not be available for his successor to use similarly, but will instead be distributed back to the federal government….

“The machinery of government should never be weaponized against any American,” said the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, which is probably news to all those who have been subjected to politically motivated prosecutions by the justice department since Trump returned to power….

[T]here is no requirement that the fund’s work be made public, and required reports to the attorney general on its conduct are to be confidential. In addition to the creation of this massive slush fund, the agreement also requires that the IRS drop all audits of Trump and his family….

Geez. I’m actually feeling… a lil’ left out. No one ever bothers to indict me. Dammit. In any event, go get ’em Jim Comey! Grin….
