Yea?
You read THAT RIGHT….
The mob of people who tore up the Nation’s capitol and got arrested for their actions by the hundred’s?
I remember members of Congress Democrats and Republicans scared shitless hiding under their desk’s…
(The Republicans have forgotten that part )
Then got pardoned by a President that IS a convicted Felon HIMSELF are suing the cops?….
Well?
I guess if Michael Flynn can do it and get away with it?
Why NOT others?
Looking FOR ‘crime TO Pay’ taxpayers money for people tearing up government property and getting arrested and then pardoned for it?
Only in Donald Trump’s America!
Crime pays!
They probably WILL get Trump Atty Gen to settle the cases and help hand out the taxpayer money….
Please NOTE….
Lawmakers and Capitol Police Officers ARE ALSO SUING Donald J. Trump for HIS actions in the same Jan. 6 protests…
Members of the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 are suing the federal government for tens of millions of dollars in damages, claiming that the “indiscriminate” use of force by police officers repelling the attack caused them physical and emotional injuries.
The lawsuit, filed in Florida, takes aim at the conduct of Capitol Police and Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, whose outnumbered officers fended off the mob for hours while members of Congress fled.
Among the lead plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit: A.J. Fischer, a member of the Proud Boys who was charged with assault before his case was erased by President Donald Trump’s sweeping pardon. He sued along with Patrick and Marie Sullivan, who described being present in the crowd that day, pelted with pepper balls and afflicted by chemical spray. The Sullivans were not criminally charged for their conduct on Jan. 6.
Fischer and the Sullivans are looking to represent a class of plaintiffs that includes dozens of others present that day on the Capitol’s West Front, the scene of the most violent confrontations between rioters and police.
Among those the lawsuit identifies as eligible to join the class, if a federal judge signs off, are others convicted of felony assaults: Dominic Pezzola, a Proud Boy who ignited the breach of the Capitol itself when he smashed a window with a stolen riot shield and Christopher Worell, a Proud Boy who unleashed pepper spray at a line of police officers. Also on the list, pro-Trump livestreamer Anthime Gionet, who is better known by his moniker “Baked Alaska,” who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count.
Fischer and his allies say the Capitol and D.C. police uncorked a wanton barrage of non-lethal munitions on the crowd, firing recklessly at protesters who were not among those causing chaos or violence. They say the use of rubber bullets, chemical spray, flashbangs and other crowd control munitions was dangerous and caused numerous injuries.
Jan. 6 defendants are hopeful that the administration will look favorably on their claims, particularly as the Justice Department has signaled its willingness to forge settlements with other aggrieved Trump allies.
The administration settled a multimillion dollar lawsuit with the estate of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer as she attempted to breach the House chamber during the riot. And last week, the administration inked a $1.25 million settlement with former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who once pleaded guilty to lying about his contacts with Russian government officials in the weeks before Trump’s first term….
Note….
The crooks have about 2 years to pull this off before Trump leaves office and raiding the government Treasury runs dry….
Just think what would have been the attitude of Republicans if Black Lives Matter had attacked the Capitol?
Indeed,,,,,
Trump’s Justice Department Dropped 23,000 Criminal Investigations in Shift to Immigration

Different Priorities: While Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives said they were rooting out federal waste, fraud and abuse, the DOJ declined over 900 cases of federal program or procurement fraud.
