Americans, and specifically U.S. taxpayers, are in for more financial raping should Kamala Harris get installed into the White House.
Kamala's brother-in-law Tony West, who headed up the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Civil Division back during the Barack Obama years, is poised to "claim the crooked crown"from Kamala in the event her backers are successful in pulling off another election heist.
West, who is married to Kamala's sister Maya, invented what the New York Post described as an "Honest Graft" by manipulating the purse strings of the DOJ's Judgment Fund, which is used to settle civil suits against the federal government.
Until 1977, Congress had to approve any settlement of a civil suit against the federal government over $100,000. That year, Congress removed the cap and basically gave the DOJ a blank check to pay any and all settlements from the Judgment Fund at its own discretion.
"Run by the Treasury Department, the Judgment Fund's secrecy is so complete that our often-penetrated CIA might study it for lessons," the Post's Daniel Huff and Clark S. Judge write.
"The limited data released omits recipients, the facts underlying the case, and often the lawyers involved. By statute, attorneys' fees awarded need not be disclosed."
Detailed information about the flow of money in and out of the Judgment Fund is so secretive, in fact, that a Government Accountability Office (GAO) study found that "no one knows the number of claims processed by the federal government each year."
West oversaw massive $4.4 billion settlement funneled specifically to non-white farmers
Until West came along under Obama, DOJ officials seem to have done enough to prevent rampant abuse of the Judgment Fund. That changed in 2009 when West took over the Civil Division, which litigates and settles lawsuits.
West's deputy got to work immediately in trying to finagle ways to siphon money from the Justice Fund and funnel it into left-wing groups and organizations. The deputy emailed all colleagues, we now know, asking them to "explain to Tony the best way to allocate some money toward an organization of our choosing."
What happened next is that the Judgment Fund became a blank check for the Obama regime and likely subsequent regimes to pay off their political allies in exchange for political favors.
One of the biggest Justice Fund heists under West occurred in 2010 when DOJ lawyers were on the verge of winning a decade-long fight against discrimination claims filed by 91 Hispanic and female farmers.
According to The New York Times, West "engineered a stunning turnabout" by first getting a $1.33 billion settlement approved for the non-white, non-male farmers, including several who had never even filed a bias claim.
That deal was forged despite "vehement objections" from the department's career lawyers. An investigative report from the Times determined that West's settlement was a "runaway train, driven by racial politics ... and law firms that stand to gain more than $130 million in fees."
It got worse, though. That $1.33 billion settlement ballooned even further to more than $4.4 billion dollars as many additional plaintiffs, including Native American farmers, were added to the dole.
"If they had gone to trial, the government would have prevailed," commented a government statistical expert about what West did. "It was just a joke ... I was so disgusted. It was simply buying the support of the Native Americans."
