Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump on Monday after his administration announced a $1.776 billion fund to compensate people who say they were wrongly targeted by federal investigations, saying the move goes beyond Trump's pardons of supporters convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

"Trump didn't just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol," Clinton wrote on X. "He's now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up."

The story behind the $1.776B fund

[Vaduz]

From college Marxist training ended up for nill.

[avital2]

didn’t Obama have a similar fund...?

[Pete Dovgan]

The J6ers, the people like General Flynn, the people damaged by the illegal IRS activity of the Obama administration, they should just do a class action suit against the Democrats and US government.

The slush fund is a way cheap way out for the democrats and taxpayers.

[Clutch Martin]

A confirmed liar chimes in... (thief too)

[stockpirate]

Why is she not in prison?

[Sarah Barracuda]

From the same douche bags who want to give reparations to blacks who were NEVER slaves..you have PLENTY of people who were put in prison for doing absolutely NOTHING except going into the capitol which by the way is OUR CAPITOL, they did not commit any crime, they did not destroy any property, all they did was walk into the capitol and take pics and for that they got 10 yrs in prison so absolutely they deserve compensation for that

[frank ballenger]

That would be like someone embezzling money from a foundation fund intended for children but used as “Chelsea’s Piggybank” to fund things like her multimillion dollar wedding.

[WASCWatch]

The $1.776 billion fund is far cheaper than total individual law suit judgments would be. It’s actually a bargain.

[DeplorablePaul]

If the Republicans were smart they would televise the J6 victim hearings so America learns how bad they were persecuted and betrayed by the justice system. Obama Judge Beryl Howell who ordered pretrial detention should be held up for special scorn. She was the worst fanatic of the whole lot.

[frank ballenger]

Sorry.

[plain talk]

Of course Hillary has always been concerned about the use of our tax dollars. (sarcasm). Hillary the consummate phony politician.

"Hillary Clinton Slams Trump's $1.7 Billion 'Slush Fund,' Says He Is Rewarding Allies After Pardoning Jan. 6 Rioters 'Out Of Your Tax Dollars'"

Once more, the disease protests a remedy.

[Hot Tabasco]

The agreement was to compensate the J6’s in exchange for dropping the lawsuit against the IRS......

[Socon-Econ]

Demonstrators charged by weaponized prosecutors and convicted by kangaroo courts are not rioters.

[SaveFerris]

Shut Up,
Hillary Diane Jezebel Rodham Clinton

You Insurrectionist Leftist Hag

- Fort Marcy Park patron

- Chief contributor to the Nachum List.

- murderess of Bambi’s Mother

[T.B. Yoits]

That $1.7B fund is to squash the lawsuits that would cost the taxpayers 10x that amount and expose the fraud of government.

They absolutely do not want the video, audio, emails, etc. coming out because it will expose the snakes and cowards in government.

[Sacajaweau]

Some of those people got life sentences.

[Eli Kopter]

Someone please put her fat a*s in jail.
