That trump, his family members and his businesses receive permanent protection from IRS investigations.

As part of the settlement agreement, the U.S. is "forever barred and precluded" from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons and the Trump organization's current tax issues, according to a one-page document posted to the Justice Department's website on Tuesday.

Yeah, the slush fund is meant to reward the criminal supporters of trump. But the other half of that settlement is meant to reward the BIGGEST criminal!!
