Miranda Devine: Dems can cry corruption all they want – the DOJ’s anti-weaponization fund has precedent and purpose
Miranda Devine argues that the DOJ's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' is a legitimate rebranding of an existing legal settlement fund. She contends that the fund is not unprecedented or corrupt, despite criticism from Democrats. Devine highlights that both parties have utilized similar funds for legal settlements in the past.
- ▪The DOJ's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' is a rebranding of the existing Judgment Fund authorized by Congress decades ago.
- ▪Critics like Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden have accused the fund of being a slush fund for political purposes, which Devine disputes.
- ▪The fund aims to compensate individuals who have been wronged by the DOJ and FBI, contrasting with payouts made to anti-Trump figures.
