President Trump and everyone around him who were merciless tormented by the government for years are entitled to damages--not just to recoup financial losses but to ensure this doesn't happen again.
The rage du jour relates to news that President Trump is not abandoning his pursuit of recouping part of the massive financial losses he incurred fighting the government’s decade-long lawfare against him. On Tuesday, the New York Times confirmed the president is seeking a total of $230 million in damages for defending himself in both the Russiagate investigation and the unprecedented criminal cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
While the president’s Russiagate-related administrative complaint has not been made public, the president’s pending tort claim, filed in 2024, seeks punitive damages of $100 million for the raid of his Mar-a-Lago residence and Smith’s subsequent indictment against the president for allegedly retaining classified documents. “The investigation and prosecution of President Trump—so starkly different than the Department of Justice’s standard operating procedures in similar cases—does not reflect a law enforcement purpose but instead aims to advance a political scheme,” the claim reads. “No procedure of the Department of Justice justifies the use of prosecutorial resources for such a political result.”
Although both claims were filed before he won the presidency, Trump and his DOJ must now deal with the extraordinary, and unprecedented, situation created by his victory—which involves potential decision-making by at least one of the president’s former defense attorneys, Todd Blanche.

Everyone involved with this torture should get the electric chair.
The hunters should be “compensated” as well. Trump’s constitutional rights were trampled on, when he broke no laws. He was spied on, his house raided, his property seized, and false evidence was created or planted on him by government officials for political gain.

I’d like to see Gen. Flynn, John Eastman, Peter Navarro, Mike Lindell and several others made whole financially. They will never be the same in attitude towards our government.
Trump’s compensation should be paid in full by “all” who tried to sink and jail him.
The people doing the violations of personal liberty should be liable, not the government. Taxpayer payments just harm the people already harmed by the tyrants.
