Jamie Raskin on Claims Trump Will Drop $10B IRS Lawsuit in Exchange for MAGA Fund: ‘Clearly Unconstitutional on a Number of Grounds’

RUSH EXCERPT:RASKIN: "Yeah. Well, let’s start with this George, only Congress has the power to appropriate money and Congress never voted on. Creating this one point: seven billion dollar political slush fund at the Department of Justice in Congress would never pass that there’s no way he could get that through Congress. So this is just an invention on his part, but even if Congress wanted to do it, I think it’s clearly unconstitutional on a number of grounds to begin with. If you look at section for the fourteenth amendment, it says that no money can be spent by the federal government for the purposes of paying for insurrection or rebellion, so to the extent that he wants to give a million dollars to each of 16 hundred did pardon riders and insurrection. Is we think that that’s an unconstitutional use of money? Now we know that the president wants to keep setting up these political slush funds he’s done it with the board of peace. He’s done it with the Venezuelan oil profits. I think he’s got an account in cut our where that money’s going is done in with the billion dollar ballroom. Originally, he said he was raising hundreds of millions of dollars for the purposes of the ballroom. Now he wants a billion dollars directly from the taxpayers. All of this is outside of the Constitution. All of it is outside of congressional spending power, and so it is illegal. It is unconstitutional"
