Unfortunately, he has yet to follow it up by voting against any of the Felon's policies or proposals. I am not holding my breath expecting him to suddenly develop some bravery in this case.

Isn’t this fund the so called ‘ settlement ‘ that Blanche refers to in his response to Durbin ?

Was twofold i believe … first it created the $1776 fund , and it absolved the Pisswig and family from IRS audits ‘forever’ … the ‘settlement ‘ is why the Pisswig attempted to dismiss his lawsuit against the IRS for releasing his taxes .
As Judge Williams ruled that, there was NO case to begin with ( the Pisswig cannot sue himself) so any ‘settlement’ is moot since there was no valid suit to begin with .
