IRS that led to the Slush Fund, is fraudulent with Trump controlling all sides of the lawsuit.  Popok reports and puts in context of another move by the DOJ on the same day in another courtroom that also indicates fraud regarding the Slush Fund.

Trump Racist Plan for National Parks Blocked Again by Federal Judge!!!
In breaking news,  Mass. Fed. Judge Kelly has refused to block her own order commanding the Trump Administration in 3 weeks time to put history BACK in place in 60 national parks, to stop Trump writing out of history slavery and how we treated the Native American peoples. Popok explains that even thought the appellate Third Circuit in Philadelphia just ruled that Trump could rip down panels memorializing the enslaved people George Washington and his family owned, Judge Kelly isn't moved by their reasoning and is moving forward with her injunction, setting up a collision course with the Supreme Court likely this summer.

Trump Panics as DOJ Pays Off Criminal Defendants to Avoid Release of Incriminating Emails?!?
The DOJ and Todd Blanche just got caught trying to pay off criminal defendants wrongly indicted for protesting in Chicago, by agreeing to pay all their attorneys fees if they just go away and don't examine whether a conspiracy occurred among the White House, Todd Blanche and local prosecutors to indict them in the first place.  Popok reports on the defendants new motion that tells Judge Perry they will gladly take the money, but that by  the DOJ agreeing to pay it the need for the documents and emails is even more necessary!!

🚨 Federal Judges appoint Special Prosecutor against Blanche & DOJ?!?!
Popok examines a new motion filed by the Broadview 6 counsel demanding that Judge Perry appoint a special counsel to investigate and prosecute the Chicago US Attorneys' Office AND possibly Todd Blanche for prosecutorial misconduct, as Judge Coleman in the same courthouse considers sanctioning the Government and doing the same, as Judge Williams in Miami considers finding that Blanche and others defrauded the Court!
