Trump gets $1.7bn to hand to people who bribe him. Note that the "conservatives" just need to "claim" it was unfair; there will be no pretence of a public process analysing what happened (of course, the real analysis already happened; it was shown that the IRS process was fair, it was just that "conservatives" of the sort who support Trump try to cheat on their taxes a lot more. After all, he's their role model). The Rapist says that was "weaponization", while it's obvious the weaponization started when he got back into power.

If this goes through, the US will have fully transitioned from banana republic to full-on kleptocracy.
