'They should be reimbursed': Jan. 6 defendants still eyeing payouts, despite scrapped $1.8B fund

Despite the Department of Justice saying it is scrapping plans to launch a $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund," many Jan. 6 defendants are still eyeing payouts using other legal paths to secure settlements from the Trump administration.

One prominent attorney for Jan. 6 defendants told ABC News that he plans to submit claims against the federal government for approximately 400 clients, with a recent lawsuit he filed for nine people requesting at least $1 million in damages per person.

President Donald Trump seemingly endorsed similar attempts to receive compensation from the government, saying in a podcast this week that "they should be reimbursed" despite his administration dropping its proposed compensation fund.

"I'm very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should be reimbursed for a crooked government," Trump said, appearing to reference the blanket clemency he granted to nearly 1,600 people associated with the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol.

5. Fucking RIDICULOUS

So if I start an insurection to try and topple the United States of America, I should get rewarded??? With taxpayer money???

6. Up is down, white is black, etc etc etc.

Nothing is being done to stop it.

7. The scale of corruption is so massive it's impossible to keep up with it

It's not that "nothing is being done" but rather that it takes far too much time to fight tRump and his cronies through the legal system. While Scam "A" is being dealt with they're doing Scam "B", "C", "D", and "E".

It's going to take decades to undo all the harm tRump has done. The best thing for the country would be for nature to take it's course sooner rather than later.
