Hundreds of Jan 6ers Are Hoping For Big DOJ Payday

Originally published at: Hundreds of Jan 6ers Are Hoping For Big DOJ Payday - TPM – Talking Points Memo

Many of those convicted of crimes related to January 6 are wondering: just how far will the Department of Justice go to help the people who, in 2021, heeded President Trump’s call to march on the Capitol? “You’re going to see a lot of action on the J6 hostages,” Trump said soon after being inaugurated…

They’ll probably get paid, too. If only they had been Cockholster Contractors.

The most corrupt president has destroyed this country. It makes me sick to my stomach.

An Orange County member of Congress (Young Kim) stated in the LA Times today that “I understand some of my constituents are concerned and know how important Medicaid in my community which is why I voted to protect and strengthen Medicaid services for our most vulnerable citizens who truly need it.”
Strenghten Medicaid services for our most vulnerable citizens… means I voted for the bill and I don’t think most people are entitled to Medicaid. “A version of the Republican bill was passed by the House with Kim’s support in the article.” Another liar. Talking out of both sides of her mouth.

Every member of the clergy should ask his or her members if they thought taking away medical care for millions of people is supported by them. It should be a crime or a sin to take away healthcare.

Does anyone defend the government’s actions in this contest?

Another effort is led by a lawyer who went to high school with Trump, Peter Ticktin.

By “went to high school with Trump” I presume you mean, “was sent to the same military academy for high school kids with anger-management and disciplinary problems.”

When will someone ask the Current Occupant if he has any sense of decency? I’m wagering the answer is a solid “no.”

Steal money from everywhere (FEMA, education, food, health care, crypto and meme, and on and on), privatize a buncha stuff (stealing from the commons), give a few of your tax bucks (stealing) to the j6 crowd and hire them to help in the round up, more tax cuts (stealing) to keep the wealth concentrated, buy justices and judges (stealing the law), and and and… Take your tax dollars and use them to steal more from all. At least they have been up front about it. Throwing a few of your stolen tax dollars to the j6 crowd is a sidebar of sorts. Real, and real bad, yet only a small part of everything, everywhere, all at once. Resist.

Exactly which Congressional appropriation is paying for the Babbitt settlement? And which Act of Congress will pay for the other (supposed) settlements?

Very depressing. Unsurprising, but very depressing. White lunatics protecting other white lunatics, so they can continue to be lunatics.

There is tons of money of unspent money to pay for those things. All those research grants and fired federal workers. Trump doesn’t need acts of Congress, and if he does it will be swiftly granted.

He doesn’t know what decency is. To him, it probably means getting what’s due him–meaning everything.
