“Police officers who guarded Capitol sue to block Trump's $1.8 billion 'slush fund”​

“Two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol from rioters on January 6, 2021, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday seeking to halt President Donald Trump's nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate victims of ‌political "weaponization."

“In a complaint, opens new tab filed in federal court in Washington, former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department officer Daniel Hodges alleged Trump has "created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name."


Appears in MAGA if you attack a police officer in Trump’s name you get compensated financially and with taxpayers’ money
 
This isn't to defend anyone but rather a reasonable discussion on this.

Many of the Jan 6 protesters were held on relatively minor charges for months, and in some cases, over a year, without bail. Their jail time awaiting trial in some cases exceeded the maximum penalty for the charges they faced. Some were denied attorney access. Many were denied evidence, like video tapes, that could have exonerated them.

If some protester at that 3-hour riot did something criminal, fine, charge, try, and convict them. But don't deny them bail, don't deny them their right to legal counsel, and don't deny them all potential evidence for or against their charges.

Trump does not fund Democrat violence, anchovies.

Trump is going to give our tax money to people who broke into the Capitol, building and beat on cops while trashing the Capitol. The police they put in the hospital should sue them to recover damages.

No. The Justice Dept lost a lawsuit. The fund is part of the penalty the Justice Dept made under Biden and other Democrats to commit 'lawfare'. It is to fund other victims of such lawfare.

Such would be eligible for claims to this fund as victims of lawfare.

Then they have the same right as any other citizen to sue the government for unlawful detention, but we don't create politically loaded taxpayer funding opportunities specifically for them and by doing so overlay the madness of Jan 6 with a guise of government wrongdoing.

Funny how silent about this ridiculous scheme the MAGATs are, but let a single person bring up "reparations" and they explode in outrage. lol

Got a credible source for this? Didn't think so.
 
This is in keeping with the main mission of the Trump Administration, namely, the glorification of Donald Trump as wondrous and King-like.
The absurdity is laughable and it's also laughable knowing that when he's gone it will all blow away.

No only that - there is zero transparency. The 5 person panel divvying out the funds are all hand-picked by trump and the public will have no idea who's getting what - he could give it all to his sons and we'd never know.

I remember when I met @T. A. Gardner . His big problem with the Democrats was that "they are the most corrupt people on the planet".

Apparently corruption only matters to Terry when Democrats do it.

I don't know about blow away but who ever is the next President will have a massive job of cleaning up Trumps messes.
I really pity whom ever it will be.
