Two Upended Lives Show Need For Anti-Weaponization FundM.D. Kittle
(i’m only posting this because the Republican Senate have no problem destroying good Americans).1/4
Corrupt Democrats and deep staters whohave twisted justice to target their political enemies can’t stand the idea of their victims receiving restitution.
It should be no surprise that D.C. creeps like Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. — who should be behind bars, not in Congress — have excoriatedPresident Donald Trump and his administration’s “anti-weaponization fund.” Nor should it be a surprise that the Trump-hating accomplice media is throwing gasoline on the Democrat-lit bonfire over the fund. Some Republican senators, ever afraid of Trump sparks, and their own shadows for that matter, have joined the pitchfork parade.
While the $1.776 billion indemnitydoes raise some transparency concerns, its political critics like to contend that A) the Biden administration did not use the Department of Justice and outside lawfare bloodsuckers to lead witch hunts against Trump, his allies and other Democratic Party political enemies and B) Trump allies victimized by weaponized government don’t deserve recompense.
They also insist that the pool is an “illegal slush fund.” It is not. Congress authorized and established a fund to pay judgments against the United States 70 years ago.
“The Fund wascreated as a permanent, indefinite appropriation to streamline payments for eligible judgments and later settlements where no other agency funds were available,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told The Federalist.Its history is well documented.
Lost in the din of who does and doesn’t deserve restitution from government abusesare the people crushed under the corrupt justice of political weaponization. The victims are men like Wisconsin attorney and former judge Jim Troupis and Dr. Ron Elfenbein, dragged through hell in years-long — and ongoing political prosecutions.They have been ground underfoot by what Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has described as the weaponized “machinery of government.”
‘Five Years of Time Lost’
Troupis, who is being prosecuted by far-left Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul for having the temerity to represent Trump’s Wisconsin campaignin the wake of the rigged2020 election, is seeking $3.2 million from the anti-weaponization fund, according to a request obtained by The Federalist. In his letter to Blanche, the former Dane County, Wisconsin judge and nationally renowned election law expert,writes that he and his family have lived a nightmare since he stepped forward in November 2020 to represent the president.
“The government weaponization against me includesno fewer than 17 separate legal actions,” Troupis writes, asserting that he has been buried under $1.7 million in costs associated with the left’s lawfare campaign against him over the past five-plus years.Troupis, 72, claims he’s been forced to draw down his retirement savings to cover his defense costs, expenses that “will likely cost me our family home and the balance of my retirement funds.”
He’s paid much more, he writes, in the annihilation of his reputation and law practice, “thousands of hours in preparation and response” to the relentless legal assault against him, prosecutorial harassment of family members, and “five years of time lost with my children and grandchildren.”
As The Federalist has extensively reported,Troupis, his fellow legal counsel Kenneth Chesbro, and Trump campaign aide Mike Roman, are among the targets of the Democrats’ bogus “fake electors”prosecutions. Troupis and Chesebro advised their client to set a slate of alternate electors to protect Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes while theTrump campaign legally challenged election results in the battleground Badger State following the irregularities-plaguedpresidential election. A coordinated campaign, swing state leftist prosecutors and their chums in corporate media pushed the “fake electors” narrative to charge Trump allies.

2/4
But as Kaul’s own state Department of Justice twice noted, the legal strategy wasn’t a crime. In fact, previous presidential campaigns have employed or considered using alternate electors while election results were being challenged.
Kaul decided to ignore his prosecutors’ counsel and ultimately opted to hit Troupis and his co-defendants with a legally contorted forgery-uttering law charge— just as Trump was wrapping up his third GOP presidential nomination. Kaul later upped the ante, filing several additional charges alleging fraud.
The case has been marred by controversy, including allegations that a former Dane County judge with a grudge against Troupis was the ghostwriter of a ruling killing a motion to dismiss Kaul’s politically-driven prosecution.
Similar alternate elector cases have collapsed in other battleground states. In Michigan, District Court Judge Kristen D. Simmonstossed out the bogus felony charges against 15 Republicans, finding the defendants, “were executing their constitutional right to seek redress.” Arizona’s far-left attorney general has broken the law multiple times in her crooked attempt to keep her flimsy electors case alive.
‘Grievously Harmed’
But Kaul’s political prosecution moves on, with a trial expected to take place in the middle of the contentious midterm election campaigns.
“Sadly, while my experience is a poster-child for what weaponization can do,I know so many others have suffered even more,” Troupis wrote in his request to Blanche. “All this, for doing exactly what the law required to preserve President’s Trump’s rights.”
The letter lists what Troupis asserts are themany acts taken to destroy his life and the lives of his family.
The list includes a March 2022“Secret Subpoena of Gmail account (privileged attorney/client)” and a May 2022 “coordinated multimillion dollar Civil Suit” premised on the Democrat-led J6 and U.S. Department of Justice investigations.
In November 2022, disgraced federal prosecutor and Democratic Party henchman Jack Smith identified Troupis as a targetof his weaponized investigation into Trump. In January 2024, the attorney was the subject of a second secret subpoena by the U.S. Department of Justice seeking privileged attorney/client communications.
Troupis previously toldThe Federalist that his son was pulled aside by federal law enforcement officials and interrogated in a locked room as he was leaving a September 2022 Disney Cruise with his family. He said the agents seized his son’s phone and confiscated his computer, an action taken to “intimidate” their real target.
“Judge Troupis has been grievously harmed by AG Kaul’s lawfare against him,” Johnson, Wisconsin’s senior senator, told The Federalist earlier this week. He said the prosecution ledby the Democrat attorney general, previously a lawyer at the firm that employed Russia collusion hoax peddler Marc Elias, was based on the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Department of Justice “against anyone involved in questioning the numerous irregularities of the 2020 election.”
“Troupis’ valid claim against the federal government’s abuse would be paid out the Treasury Department’s Judgment Fund, which wasestablished in 1956,” the Wisconsin Republican said. “Judge Troupis deserves to be compensated out of this fund.”

‘Person of the Year’
Dr. Ron Elfenbein, like Troupis, was well respected in his field.In the early days of the pandemic, the emergency room physician was lauded as a hero for his tireless work testing and treating Covid.
In June 2021, then-Gov. Larry Hogan recognized Elfenbein for “outstanding services to the citizens” of Maryland. Later that year,the Maryland State Legislature honored him with a citation for “Stepping up for your fellow Marylanders, being on the front line fighting this pandemic, and for your honor, integrity, compassion and vision.” He also was named “Person of the Year” by the Maryland State Medical Society, an award delivered even after President Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice indicted him on suspect Medicare billing fraud charges.
When Covid hit the United States, Elfenbein set up comprehensive rapid testing sites seeing thousands of patients. By the end of 2020, he was establishing a monoclonal antibody infusion center and getting miraculous results from the treatments. The operation was so effective that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in early 2021 asked Elfenbein to establish a monoclonal antibody infusion center in a church near FedEx Field in Landover. Using a test-to-treat model, the center tested and immediately infused qualifying Covid patients.
But things quickly turned sour soon after Elfenbein began publicly criticizing the Biden administration’s change in direction on the treatments.
“The First Doctor Convicted’
In late summer 2021, Biden’s DEI secretary of HHS infused “equity” — race-based criteria — in determining who should be at the front of the line for monoclonal antibodies treatment.Elfenbein was frustrated. He wasn’t alone.
“The last thing HHS should be doing is impeding on providers’ ability to best serve their patients, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wrote in a Sept. 2021 letter to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “This recent HHS order will further prevent doctors from being able to treat their patientsand prevent their patients from receiving the care they need when they need it.”
In December,the Biden administration suddenly switched up treatment suppliers, insisting the antibodies were not as effective with an emerging omicron variant of Covid. As Fox News Digital reported at the time, the Covid “experts” at the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionwere forced to backtrack on their dire warnings that omicron cases topped 72 percent, when in fact they were around 22 percent.
“The fact that these people are so adamant that they’re right when they’re using faulty data and they’re using faulty logic and frankly statistical modeling that has never been correct,ever, throughout this entire pandemic, to look at this, is just beyond the pale,” Elfenbein toldFox News Digital.
“It’s just the height of bureaucratic arrogance, and it’s just, it’s horrible,” the physician added.
A few months later, in April 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice charged Elfenbein with three counts of healthcare fraud. Elfenbein and 17 other defendants across the country were targeted and charged in what government agents described as “various fraud schemes”resulting in $149 million in Covid-related false billing to federal programs and pandemic assistance theft. Federal prosecutors accused the doctor of upcoding his Covid testing claims to the tune of $15 million. He was ultimately charged with five counts of healthcare fraud.Elfenbein faced up to 50 years in prison for what he says was a total of $250 in alleged higher-than-allowable billing — $50 for each of the five counts.
In August 2023, a federal jury convicted the doctor, who, the DOJ beamed, became “the first doctor convicted at trial by the Justice Department for health care fraud in billing for office visits in connection with patients seeking COVID-19 tests.”

4/4
‘It Would be Unjust’
The verdict didn’t stand long. In December 2023, U.S. District Judge James Bredar, then serving as chief judge of the Maryland District,vacated the conviction. He ruled that the government failed to provide evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Elfenbein manipulated a federal claim coding system that was in a state of constant change during the peak of the pandemic.
“[T]he evidence weighs so heavily in favor of the defendant it would be unjust to enter judgment against him,” Bredar wrote in the 90-page ruling.“Citizens, including healthcare providers, cannot be held to criminal account for doing only what a technical regulation is reasonably read to permit, even if to do so would seem to benefit them excessively.”
The Biden DOJ appealed right before the filing deadlineand not long before Trump’s second presidential inauguration.
A half-year later, a panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit reversed in part Bredar’s decision, finding the jury had enough evidence to reach its verdict.But the panel acknowledged that “the case was close” and agreed with Bredar in ordering a new trial. That trial is set for August.
The DOJ — theTrump DOJ — is moving forward with the re-do prosecution, and Elfenbein is right back in the crosshairs of an overreaching government.
‘It’s Just Evil’
“This has taken millions of dollars to defend myself and now I have to face a new trial and that’s going to be millions more — money by the way that I didn’t have and I still don’t have,” Elfenbein told me in thelatest episode of The Federalist Radio Hour podcast. “I’m in debt to my lawyers and I will be to the rest of my life.”
As in Troupis’ case, Elfenbein said the psychological damage that he and his family have endured has taken a huge toll.He said he went 2 1/2 years without sleeping, that he was a shell of his former self. Three of his four kids had to go into therapy.
“Im anoptimistic person but I was as close to suicidal as I ever have been in my life. It was horrific. I would not wish this on my worst enemy,” the physician said.
His supporters have petitioned the president to urge the DOJ to dismiss the case with prejudice “in the interests of justice, fairness, proportionality, and public confidence in the integrity of the legal system.” It cites the myriad holes in the case and the political motivations of its prosecutors, the alleged vendetta of the Biden administration.
While it appears he has yet to seek compensation from the federal government,Elfenbein’s story — like so many others — drives home the importance of the anti-weaponization fund, and Blanche’s pledge that DOJ “will make right the wrongsthat were previously done while ensuring this never happens again.”
“This is the most un-America thing I can ever imagine, when your own government is weaponized against you like that. It’s just unconscionable and it’s just evil.” Elfenbein told The Federalist.

Restitution For Victims Of DOJ Lawfare Is The Least We Should Do. 1/2
Jeff Fortenberry
I know what it costs to be on the receiving end of a partisan federal prosecution.I know what it costs in dollars: millions. AndI know what it costs in the harder currencies — reputation, career, family life, trauma. President Trump’s proposal for a $1.776 billion legal fund to reimburse Americans who were=targeted by a politicized Justice Department isn’t a partisan gesture. It’s a recognition of something I and thousands of others have lived through. It’s also a measure ofreform for government agencies infested with corruption and weaponized ideology.
President Trump understands this better than anyone. The FBI raided his home.He faced down 88 baseless criminal charges. His tax records were leaked to the press. And he watched the weaponization of the DOJ against American citizens.
President Trump is owed restitution for the unlawful leak of his tax records.But instead of taking a settlement for himself, he wants those funds to be used to make whole other victims of injustice.
For victims of political prosecution, the process is the punishment, and the DOJ knows this. No one can stand up to the near-limitless resources of the U.S. government. Imagine the immense harm done to a small business owner,a parent framed as a domestic terrorist, or a jailed pro-life grandmother. This legal fund will begin to give them some justice and enable Americans to fight DOJ weaponization.
PresidentTrump called my case a baseless “witch hunt.”The government manufactured a case against me and let the real criminals walk free. The prosecutor in my case donated to a group called “Stop Republicans” and buried that donation from scrutiny within the ActBlue front site. He was aided by FBI and IRS agents who targeted me and lied to me. They wanted a trophy, so they picked a conservative Republican congressman from Nebraska who supported President Trump.This is not law enforcement. It’s weaponization. This is the kind of wrong that the legal fund is designed to right.
A $1.776 billion legal fund— the number echoing the year Americans threw off a regime that used its courts to prosecute pretended offenses —does several things at once. It acknowledges and repairs harm done to Americans.It puts consequence-free prosecutorial abuse on notice. And itprovides resources for people who have no real way to fight backagainst the most powerful litigation operation on Earth.
This fund is not unprecedented, although it’s probably the first time a government official has put a settlement due to his family at the service of the American people. President Obama established a settlement fund. And President Biden’s DOJ compensatedsupporters for what they termed injustices committed against them.

Establishmentcritics are smearing this as a payoff to political allies of the president. Butremember, the United States Senate recently voteditself access to $500,000 for members secretly surveilled by the government. American citizens deserve at least the same consideration as the senators who represent them. More consideration, in fact.
The fund could reimburse Americanswhose prosecutions were brought in bad faith, dropped, reversed, or pursued in ways that violated the equal application of the law. If a Democrat official was railroaded by a Republican prosecutor on flimsy grounds, the fund should make that person whole, too. I am pleased that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said as much during his recent testimonybefore Congress.
I lost years I can’t get back. I can’t un-resign from Congress. I can’t un-spend the legal fees. I can’t make the trauma inflicted on my family a fiction. The same goes for anyone similarly targeted. No fund repairs that.
But a fund of this scale, backed by President Trump, says something the American system has needed to say for a long time:Neither the people who run the machinery of federal prosecution nor federal judges are above the citizens they prosecute; and when they cross the line,the country owes a debt to the people they injure.
I hope every American who has watched a neighbor, a colleague, or a stranger ground up by a wrongful prosecution understands what is actually being offered here —not a partisan favor, but the first serious attempt in a generation to put a price tag on what the weaponization of justice has cost real people.
The bill came due a long time ago. It is time to pay it.
Jeff Fortenberry was elected to the United States House of Representatives for nine terms. He served Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District and rose to a senior level on the House Appropriations Committee, with a distinguished record in foreign policy, food policy, and health care policy.

What pisses me off is the Republicans were as involved in setting up Trump and MAGA to jail them on J6, as Nancy Pelosi. It was proven multiple times but supposedly they are the only ones who are innocent. Anyone thinking Thune or Johnson are innocent are as stupid as leftists believing the left crooks in Congress.
Iran War Live Updates: Trump Puts Off ‘Final Determination’ on Iran Proposal
The president met with aides for two hours at the White House about a possible cease-fire extension, according to a senior administration official. ==Earlier,
Mr. Trump had suggested in a social media post that he was ready to make a decision.== (Trump is very good at jerking dishonest people around, either they agree or it’s back to square one)
=Here’s the latest.
President Trump left a two-hour meeting on a possible deal with Iran without making a decision, a senior administration official said on Friday, despite suggesting on social media that he had intended “to make a final determination” during the gathering in the White House Situation Room.
It was not clear why Mr. Trump did not reach a decision.
(Probably because Iran has done the same many times before. Trump is a patient man).
The president had insisted in a Truth Social post before the meeting that a deal extending the cease-firewould involve Iran’s reopening the Strait of Hormuz, pledging never to develop a nuclear bomband allowing the United States to remove its enriched uranium.
Iran has repeatedly pushed back on those terms.
The spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry, Esmail Baghaei, said in a telephone interview with Iranian state media on Fridaythat current negotiations were limited in scope and did not include “the nuclear issue.” In recent days, the sides have exchanged fire,and Mr. Trump has repeatedly threatened a return to full-scale war.
In his post, Mr. Trump signaled that a deal would lead the United States to lift its naval blockade, which had targeted Iranian ships and ports, to allow the crucial waterway for oil and gas shipping to reopen. “Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted,may startthe process of ‘heading home!’” he wrote.
U.S. officials said on Thursday that a proposed dealwould extend the cease-fire to pave the way to more talks on Iran’s nuclear program. The officials,who were not authorized to speakpublicly, were granted anonymity to discuss the U.S. view of the current negotiations.
Should an agreement be finalized, it could give Mr. Trump an off-ramp from a war that has driven up oil pricesand grown deeply unpopular at home(which Trump basically said he didn’t give a fuck he’s trying to save the world!).
It could also eventually allow Iran to regain access to frozen overseas assets and provide a route for Tehran to get billions of dollars of oil revenue flowing again.
Here’s what else we’re covering:
The framework: Some details about a draft agreement emerged on Thursday, according to officials involved in the negotiations.

'Very concerning': Wes Allen responds to video showing apparent illegal curbside voting in Jefferson County(WTH are they in 1920 elections)
Apryl Marie Fogel | 05.29.26
Several alarming videos have been released by voters in Jefferson County, taken on May 19 during and after the primary election.
One video appears to show a poll worker carrying a ballot out the front door of the polling place and handing it to an individual waiting in the passenger side of a vehicle.
While the voter was casting his ballot, two separate individuals, including one wearing a T-shirt for State Rep. Patrick Sellers (D-Birmingham), approached the voter seated inside the vehicle and handed him voter guides.
At another point, a poll worker is heard talking to the voter as the voter fills out his ballot. Part of the ballot can be seen in the video as the poll worker walks away from the vehicle with it.
The video does not show her checking his identification, nor does it show what happens to the ballot following the interaction. "I have always advocated against curbside voting, a practice that has caused some of the rampant chaos we see during election times in blue states.
For this reason, during my time as a Legislator, I carried HB 285- a bill prohibiting unauthorized curbside voting practices and strengthening election integrity protections.
Because of that legislation, Alabama law now specifically prohibits the use of voting machines outside enclosed polling places and restricting the removal of ballots or voting equipment except as otherwise authorized by law," Secretary of State Wes Allen said in a written statement to 1819 News.
"The allegations and videos circulating out of Jefferson County are very concerning.
Any credible allegations involving improper ballot handling or violations of Alabama election law are taken seriously," he continued.A second video shows a confrontation between an unknown party and poll workers behind the front doors of the polling place, as they allege that voting machines were improperly moved before being secured and ask for an explanation.
A city worker then comes and claims that no votes were cast in the machine. Mara Ruffin Blackmon a candidate a candidate for the State House district 57filed suit against Jefferson County Probate Judge Yashiba Blanchard and Sellers. Blackmon is asking thecourt to "ensure the integrity and reliability of election accountingthrough independent review and verification."
According to the Secretary of State's office, their office lacks investigative or prosecutorial authority under the law. The office said it would refer any allegations of potential criminal misconduct to an appropriate law enforcement agency.
The office also said,"It is the policy of the Secretary of State's Office to not publicly comment on specific complaints filed with the Office, including confirming or denying the existence of a complaint."

Mercedes-Benz may be shut out of U.S. market under bill aimed at Chinese automaker ownership. 1/2
PUBLISHED FRI, MAY 29
KEY POINTS
• A House bill aimed at blocking Chinese-linked automakers could result in a U.S. ban of new Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
• Mercedes-Benz’s largest individual shareholder is BAIC, a Chinese state-owned automaker.
• Sources told CNBC that exemptions outlined in the legislation would not apply to Mercedes-Benz, which has a large manufacturing presence in the country.
• Lawmakers in both parties are seeking to prevent Chinese automakers from gaining a foothold in the U.S. market.
(Lay down with China, get up with fleas)
==Mercedes-Benz
could find itself shut out of the U.S. auto market — banned from making or selling new vehicles in the country — under legislation making its way through Congress.==
New bipartisan legislation aimed at limiting Chinese involvement in the U.S. auto market may sweep in Mercedes-Benz unless the bill is changed or the German automaker’s largest shareholder sells its stake.
The bill, the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026,would prohibit automakers that have “any direct or indirect equity interest by a foreign-adversary government,” such as China, from importing, selling or manufacturing vehicles for sale in the U.S.
Mercedes-Benz’s largest individual shareholder is the state-owned Chinese automaker BAIC, formerly the Beijing Automotive Industrial Corp., with a 9.98% share. The potential implications of the legislation on the automaker are previously unreported.
Several people familiar with the legislation who spoke to CNBC cited gray areas in the bill that, depending on how they’re interpreted, could ban Mercedes-Benz from operating in the U.S.
Two sources who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity for fear of repercussions or because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly said they believe the bill, as it’s currently written, would ban the company.
“The language is unambiguous,” said a former automotive policy advisor and lobbyist who was consulted about the bill.
Daniel Kelly, press secretary for the Energy and Commerce Committee, confirmed the details of the legislation. He declined to comment directly on potential impacts for individual companies, including Mercedes-Benz.
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/29/mercedes-benz-ban-congressional-bill-china-ownership.html
2/2
A spokesman for Mercedes-Benz declined to comment on the legislation but told CNBC on Friday the automaker has two large assembly plants and employs more than 10,000 people in the U.S.
A cap on foreign ownership
The bill comes as lawmakers in both parties seek to prevent Chinese automakers from gaining a foothold in the U.S. market, even as Chinese ownershipalready runs through parts of the global auto industry.
The bill, which is sponsored by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., is currently a House-only initiative with no Senate companion. It includes exemptions for China-backed companies, but not if they’re directly or indirectly owned by the Chinese government.
Automakers that have manufactured passenger vehicles in the U.S. for at least five years before Jan. 1, 2026, could qualify for an exemption. But the bill says that exemption does not apply to companies with “any direct or indirect equity interest by a foreign-adversary government.”
China is listed as a foreign adversary along with Russia and North Korea.

UAE conducted dozens of strikes on Iran during war and after truce, including with Israel — report5/29/26
The United Arab Emirates launched dozens ofairstrikes in Iran in the first days of the US-Israeli war on Iran, and after the ceasefire in April was announced, people familiar with the matter tell the Wall Street Journal.
Reports have said the UAE carried out attacks on Iran during the war,but the report by the WSJ indicated a much larger role than previously reported.
Israel and the US provided intelligence on the strikes, which targeted Qeshm and Abu Musa islands in the Strait of Hormuz, the port city of Bandar Abbas, Lavan Island’s oil refinery, and the Asaluyeh petrochemical complex, the sources tell the WSJ.
Israel also struck Asaluyeh, which prompted the US to ask Israel to stop attacks on energy facilities, and sparked international backlash.
Attacks on Iranian energy facilities came in retaliation for Tehran’s attacks on the UAE’s facilities.
