Sue to settle and plea bargins

There has been a lot of talk lately about President Trump settling a lawsuit with his own government. He had sued for $10 billion over the release of his tax returns, and the government in exchange for the President dropping the law suit promised in contract to set up to a $1.776 billion fund to pay out to other victims of the Weaponization of Government.

Besides the obvious conflict of interest, out of court settlements and plea bargains both end investigation and court review. Whether or not the people who are getting paid out are legitimate victims of Weaponization of Government, the public will never know. Their names and taxpayer funds allocated may be released, however the legitimacy of their claims will never be fully investigated. And those who engaged in weaponization of government will never be held accountable.

Plea bargains, pleas, and out of court settlement shortcut justice. They say it’s not worthwhile to waste finate government resources, or drag victims or even perpetrators through a long unnecessary court process when everybody is in agreeemnt on a remedy. But it also short-circuits public knowledge of what actually happened or the investigation of a judge or jury into the facts. And that is problematic in my mind.
