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."

PIAPS has no sense of self awareness.

Obama started this sort of thing.

Using his errant legal theory of guilty by way of “disparate impact” - not guilty by intentional error or negligence, just “disparate impact”, his DOJ sued various U.S. police departments and localities over policing policies and housing policies. All the “settlements” were huge and the “penalties” went to various NGOS monitoring and promoting “non-discrimination in housing” and “police reform”. In essence NGOs that would go on to politically work for Obama and the Dims were paid handsomely by Obama’s DOJ “settlements”.

Well, at least they are Americans. The Democrats are spending far more money on illegal aliens. None of the J6ers killed anyone, even though they are falsely claimed to have killed police officers which is not true at all. J6ers have not raped young American women, whereas the illegals have raped numerous American females. J6ers have not taken in illgal children as trafficked sex slaves, where as illegals, have trafficked children as sexual slaves used for perversion.

Shut up Shillary.
