DeLauro reacts angrily to Blanche\u2019s description that Trump\u2019s settlement with the IRS does not provide \u201cblanket immunity,\u201d insisting that it does, while Blanche repeatedly corrects her.The author portrays DeLauro as confused and flustered-especially after a tense stretch of silence-then returns to argue that this kind of behavior reflects a pattern of indignation without accurate understanding of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >underlying legal details<\/a>. The article also references the settlement\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-have-failed-our-children-goldie-hawn-talks-covid-policies-pandemic-trauma\/\" title=\"\u2018We Have Failed Our Children\u2019: Goldie Hawn Talks COVID Policies, Pandemic Trauma\">general effect<\/a> (limiting the government\u2019s ability to prosecute Trump and related parties) and briefly notes comparisons to other politicians\u2019 ages to dismiss the idea that age alone explains DeLauro\u2019s remarks.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Elected Democrats seem to provide roughly two-thirds of the entire world\u2019s supply of unintentional comedy.<\/p>\n<p>Take purple-haired Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, for instance. At 83, DeLauro routinely exhibits characteristic liberal self-righteousness mixed with octogenarian confusion.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill, Attorney General <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/acting-ag-todd-blanche-says-doj-8000-fraud-cases-underway-tip-iceberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Todd Blanche<\/a> sent DeLauro into a tizzy by calmly explaining that President Donald Trump\u2019s settlement agreement with the Internal Revenue Service does not amount to \u201cblanket immunity,\u201d as she suggested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the blanket immunity is not something that you\u2019re gonna move back on?\u201d she asked in a clip posted to the social media platform X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not blanket immunity,\u201d he replied. \u201cThat\u2019s not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeLauro\u2019s jaw fell open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is,\u201d she insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo it\u2019s not,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, the flummoxed congresswoman gasped and then looked around as if hoping someone would help her. Nearly 10 seconds of uncomfortable silence ensued.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, DeLauro read from Part C of Blanche\u2019s May 19 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/media\/1441216\/dl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settlement order<\/a>. In short, the order summarizes part of a settlement between Trump and the IRS.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 29 of this year, the president personally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/late-breaking-trump-files-gargantuan-lawsuit-irs-finally-setting-justice-leak-exposed-400000-americans-taxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued<\/a> the tax-collecting agency and the Treasury Department for failing to prevent the 2019 leak of his tax returns to the establishment media.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Trump reached a settlement agreement, which now prohibits the federal government from prosecuting him or his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as the Trump Organization, all of whom were parties to the lawsuit, on account of existing claims against them or for additional reasons stated in the order.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the president sought and has received at least partial relief from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-stacey-plaskett-threatens-matt-taibbi-with-prison\/\" title=\"Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat, threatens Matt Taibbi with jail time.\">weaponized federal government<\/a> and its 10-year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/eric-trump-erupts-podcaster-suggesting-siege-family-just-normal-politics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crusade against him and his family<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For present purposes, however, the agreement\u2019s details matter less than DeLauro\u2019s reaction to Blanche.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, th-th-th-th-this is an order from you,\u201d she stuttered after reading the first few lines of Part C.<\/p>\n<p>Flummoxed and hyper, she continued to make a fool of herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you\u2019re not prepared \u2014 you aren\u2019t prepared to say \u2014 that the president and his family will be, uh, uh, barred, are- are- immune fr \u2014 that\u2019s a yes,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d he calmly replied. \u201cIt was not a yes. I had not answered the question. I can answer it if you want me to.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8 LMFAO!!

Moreover, Trump himself will turn 80 on June 14.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, DeLauro amuses us because she comes across as righteously indignant while having no idea what she\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in April, the congresswoman harangued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/icymi-video-ever-wanted-see-hopelessly-outmatched-rep-de-lauro-lose-mind-front-crowd-lee-zeldin-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lee Zeldin<\/a>, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, before admitting that she had never heard of the key Supreme Court decisions on which he had acted.<\/p>\n<p>In short, DeLauro looks and behaves as if she should have a cigarette hanging from her mouth and a vodka martini in front of her while grousing at an uncooperative bingo caller, not making laws for the rest of us. But at least she makes us laugh.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
