When pigs fly! Another reason to turn this country solid blue! The Proud Boys belong in prison with all the guilty Jan 6 Insurrectionists! Just because a Convicted Felon pardoned them, doesn’t mean they are not guilty, and it sure as hell does not award them taxpayers money. When we win, you thugs better run, because accountability will follow. You will never do the right thing, so it’s a sure bet we will see you in Court on another felony, and your Boss will be in the same prison compound as you, so bring a big book with you that will take 10-25 years to read. In your case, look under Picture Books at your Prison Library.

A great report but somehow so outrageous as to seem unreal.

ALOHA. From the COCONUT WIRELESS.... "What Trump is really after is something deeper: by repeating the same lies and deploying the same tactics over and over, he wants us to believe that our opposition is futile. He wants us to lose hope.

The politicized Department of Justice is one of his primary tools for achieving that goal. Rep. Eric Swalwell is the latest target. The congressman was attacked using the same, familiar strategy that has been utilized against dozens of Democratic politicians, lawyers and officials: distort facts to create uncertainty where none exists, falsely suggest criminality, and regardless of the outcome, claim victory.

The point is not to obtain convictions. The point is to intimidate, exhaust, and silence.".. D.D.ORG.

We must protest paying them anything.

Is it even remotely possible that the scumbags will have their suit taken seriously, much less get paid for trying to overturn an election by trashing the Capital and injuring law enforcement officers?

My understanding Susan is the DofJ could settle the suit without going to court as they did with Michael Flynn. As Mitchell Epner explained, a judge does have to review the settlement but the review is restricted to a very narrow question and does not address whether the payments are appropriate or not.

Apparently this is what fascists do per Anne Applebaum and Ruth Ben-Ghist - they use the National Treasury and any other assets (public lands, mineral reserves) to enrich themselves and their cronies. We probably should count the gold ingots at Fort Knox when we finally get Trump et al out (not that he will go willingly)- kinda like shaking down your dinner guests for the family silver.

Thanks for the information. Can't hit "like" because it infuriates me!

Adam, why were the suits filed in Florida?

Oh.my.god

Have long thought (well since Trump’s first bit of atrocities), that a certain faction of the US has developed this chronic sense of entitlement. Think this lawsuit demonstrates an overdose of steroids have been added to the mix

Michael Flynn got his million+ so all the rest of the traitors/bums are going to give it a try!
