Norm Eisen and his two dozen allies within the various Lawfare NGO’s have again interceded and temporarily blocked the financial settlement between the IRS/DOJ and Donald Trump, the $1.776 billion anti-Weaponization Fund settlement.
The weaponization fund was established as part of a settlement agreement between Mr. Trump and the Internal Revenue Service to end a civil lawsuit he and his sons filed in January over the illegal leaking of his tax returns by the IRS. While President Trump will receive no benefit from the settlement, under the agreement the fund aims to “provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of all others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.”
There is zero legal precedent for a non-participant in the settlement to interfere in the terms and conditions of the settlement itself. All outside parties have zero standing to interfere in the settlement and all reasonable legal minds will tell you exactly the same. A Lawfare challenge is futile because taxpayers do not have legal standing to stop the govt from settling lawsuits (see Pigford et al).
In 1923 the Supreme Court said that a taxpayer’s interest in money from the Treasury “is shared with millions of others” and is “comparatively minute and indeterminable.” “If we have an intersection collision with a postal truck and a settlement is negotiated to give $5 million to a family, does anybody have standing to come in and say, ‘the government paid too much in that settlement?'” The answer is no.
However, the law is really not what stands behind the Lawfare approach. Lawfare is a political strategy designed for public consumption that relies upon the media and stupidity of the American populace. Smart, intelligent and reasonable people can see through Lawfare when applied.
(VIA CBS) – Washington — A federal judge temporarily blocked the Justice Department from moving forward with work on the new $1.7+ billion Anti-Weaponization Fund, including making any payouts.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said in a brief order dated Thursday that the temporary hold allows her time to consider whether to grant longer-term relief sought by a group of plaintiffs who are challenging the new fund, which was announced by the Justice Department earlier this month. (more)

The judge knows the end of this Lawfare journey will culminate in a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the IRS/DOJ and President Trump. However, the judge needs to retain his relationships, his network, his cocktail party invitations, and therefore goes along with the Lawfare resistance group.
When Christine Blasey Ford was used to try and block the judicial appointment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, she was questioned about who wrote her letter of complaint from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Ms Ford described the network of former DOJ and FBI officials who guided her as “Beach Friends.”
It is this same group of 20 +/- ‘beach friends’ who operate this Lawfare network, NGO system, aligned law firms, and stimulate hundreds of lawsuits against President Trump with the intention of just being against anything that diminishes their political structures. Lawfare is funded by leftist billionaires and overseas money.
The establishment of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate victims of Lawfare is an afront to the ideological intentions of the ‘Beach Friends’.
I pray for prosecutions of the Beach Friends and impeachments/convictions of the judges.
These beach friends enjoy crime waves 🙂
For starters!
Once it goes to Supremes and it gets dismissed due to no standing, force all of these “Lawfare Best friends” to pay all legal expenses and misuse of legal system for frivolous lawsuit and freeze all assets, block passport, place on do not fly list, force them to pay a like amount to the original $1.776 BILLION as a penalty, make their lives as miserable as possible legally.
We need three strikes and your out for judges. Get reversed three times, you’re off the bench.
I guarantee you the quality of judicial output would greatly improve.
That is an excellent idea!!!
Guess who gets to vote on that great idea?
Hell, I’d even settle for 6 reversals with the additional caveat that not only are you indefinitely dismissed from the bench but it also automatically triggers a formal sanction & censure by either congress, the bar or other governing body without the ability to appeal the action.
They should never be able to practice law again. SCOTUS & appellate court reversals should be the exception not the rule if these officials are reading from the same texts & court precedents.
Sanction them on first reversal, suspend without pay for the second, dismissal on the third.
When the truth is laid bare about 9/11, I wonder what the bench will do about the settlements demanded in that caper.
Norm Eisen sounds like a nose guy, I mean a nice guy.
0 standing yet they are able to actually ruin people and the country.
0 standing.
yet they have 100% real life impact on people.
Constitution 2.0 or Die.
We’ll get this judicial nonsense addressed and many other oversights fixed, particularly election law.

And yet during the 2020 fraudulent election no individual or State had standing to present evidence in Court but here Lawfare’s futile challenge has standing since the Court took the case!! How can that be??? We still have a banana republic two tier Judicial system with the Democrats in the top tier and the Republicans in the bottom tier!! JMO
If the settlement is blocked Trump can just go back to the original and $10 billion instead of the settlement of $1.8 billion. So the tax payers can pay him 5 times as much and Trump can establish a private fund with his money. Makes great sense to the communist elite psychopaths in both political branches.
That was my first thoughts about this ridiculous lawfare attempt to delay this DOJ settlement. Void it and it all goes back to PDJT in the original amount he was sure to be rewarded for with the gross misconduct of the previous administration’s illegal abuse of his US Constitutional rights granted to everyone that is a citizen of the USA.
…this “judge” and the “judge” gettin’ it on in her chambers with a boy-toy cop down in Georgia…these two “judges” are two peas from the same pod…there needs to be a hanging judge for the hanging of these crooked judges…by the neck…until dead.
Pay per view charges goes towards reducing national debt.
Our side needs a Fairlaw group to fight against the evil lawfare group.
We have one, just not as large as their, but we are getting there I hear. Stephen Millers group and Tom Fittens group is doing great work.
The RAT 🐀 party are sick corrupt and nasty! They need to spend time in the DC gulag!! 💁🏻♀️
If “The judge knows the end of this Lawfare journey will culminate in a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the IRS/DOJ and President Trump”…
*Frivolous
An action, lawsuit, or appeal that lacks basis or legitimacy and is intended more to cause annoyance or interference rather than resolve a dispute.*
Why does SCOTUS allow lesser judges to do it without consequential penalties for engaging in frivolous actions they know (or should know – 1923 Supreme Court ruling) will not only be overturned but, waste precious SCOTUS time?
Judges can impose consequential penalties on Attorneys for engaging in overtly frivolous actions…
Why can’t/won’t SCOTUS impose consequential penalties on lesser judges who do the same?
Norm Eisen is a “vexatious litigant”. There must be a process in the Federal Court that addresses actions to take against vexatious litigants.
I think that falls under the judicial code 30:06 and can be exercised by all who have standing
And here I thought it fell under section 5.56 of the Penal Code.
If not standing, then prone which may improve the process.
Rule 303 if you’re on the Veldt.
The judicial branch of the government is the most corrupt branch of the government.
And another “judge” just ruled that Trump has to take his name off the Kennedy Center and he can’t close it…
Just saw that, and another judge dismissed the charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia the other day.
The Judiciary branch needs to be put back into its lane and those who file these frivolous lawsuits need to pay the price, financially and legally, for this abuse of the judicial system – or this will never stop.
The only bright spot is that more people, voters, are beginning to see what’s been going on with this legal manipulation as the cover sheet for politics.
While this is clearly a ridiculous & wasteful exercise in jurisprudence it would be nice to see SCOTUS admonish & obliterate these lower court jurists once & for all recognizing that these continued lawfare actions do nothing to heal the reputation of the judicial system & only serves to escalate the perceptions of inherent corruption inside these institutions.
Very frustrating that Lawfare has unlimited funds and just delays everything, all the time. They tie up the Administration with endless numbers of TROs and baseless suits. From what I can see regardless of their eventual losses they accomplish their obstruction goals without penalty. Obviously having a large bench of corrupt judges is a big advantage for them.
This whole thing is hilarious. DJT is the GOAT trollers
OK. I’m not a lawyer so I could be wrong about this but doesn’t a Bar somewhere issue a license for these judges to practice law? If so, where are they when this kind of garbage keeps going on by the same “lawyers” over and over?
As I said, I could be wrong. Sure would like a legal mind to explain how this can go on perpetually and nothing is ever done or said about it.
Just try and search for a photo of this judge using iPhone Safari. Not a single one comes up.
Apple, Safari and its Yahoo tech are all in on the censorship.
81 years old makes Biden look like a teenager.
How is the IRS punished by this judgement? What consequences does it suffer from as a result? People run the IRS it doesn’t have a mind of its own (at least before AI). Are any people held to account? Tax payer money will keep flowing into the IRS. In fact their budget will probably get a big bump due to this small short fall.
If I’m not mistaken didn’t the individual who leaked the tax returns get charged, convicted & currently serving a jail sentence?
The establishment of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate victims of Democrat Lawfare is an afront to the ideological intentions of the ‘Obama Operatives’, who really seem worked up by this. When are their J6 lies all going to be revealed?
The way this fund reads, I would think that individuals like the US Women’s Gymnasts, Epstein victims etc… would also qualify for recompence? It could be argued that they too were victims of the DOJ with their inaction to properly investigate & hold individuals accountable. I believe it has been proven that the DOJ/FBI was fully aware of these individuals suspected criminal behavior(s) long before they were ultimately prosecuted.
Everything I read contrary to what is right always has the handprint of Obama on it. Never could imagine a man so determine to destroy a nation.
If they can’t see what’s about to happen then they shouldn’t be advising anyone on anything, let alone legal matters. I guess they’re so used to winning by crooked means they’ve grown sloppy and complacent.
We’re being Gruber’ed again.
You can’t tell me that these corrupt judges or people like Norm do not have skeletons in their closet that can be prosecuted.
