A meaningful resolution of Blanche’s IRS deal would have been: - Immunity is rescinded: Trump can refile his lawsuit when he leaves office to avoid conflict of interest; - Blanche agrees DOJ will make no payouts to J6 defendants and other criminals prosecuted by Biden DOJ without court oversight.
Read the headline over and over until the absolute absurdity comes to light.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."
