Each family that had a loved one die or lost businesses because Dr. Fauci and the government lies so to profit from Pharma should sue the shit out of them!

[piasa]

Good point, you know their lies well.

1.5 Million?????
That is what it costs to sweep, mop and polish the floors every day.

Some scratched paint maybe?
Perhaps a broken doorknob?
A dirty carpet?

[piasa]

To be fair there may have been a LOT more urine stains... and given it’s the home of our Congress, the cleanup crew probably had to shovel a lot of accumulated bullschit from the building before even touching the damage from Jan 6.

How many BLM rioters were ordered to pay for any of their damage and looting? Any?

[joethedrummer]

Yep. This is INSURANCE FRAUD.

[Boardwalk]

Chump change compared to the $$$$$amount burned down by the the ultimate fighters no media care.

[South Dakota]

Capitol cops let them in.?

???
On who’s orders

[kenmcg]

How about BLM & Antifa paying for all the damage they did (wishful thinking.

[Responsibility2nd]

The FBI of course. The evidence is very strong that the FBI coordinated this entire event.

[Boardwalk]

They prevously were in Vegas.

[South Dakota]

I’m thinking barack in league with all the government agencies available

[montag813]

That is a drop in the bucket next to the billions in damage caused by BLM and Antifa last summer. $25 million alone to 5th Avenue NYC.

... plea agreement letter

—

This is what the Fed wants. Plea agreements. No trials. Trials would require discovery and that might show things the government would prefer remain hidden.

[Svartalfiar]

But it’s only property. They have insurance.

FedGov doesn't carry any third-party insurance. They're basically self-insured (taxpayer $$$).

[lepton]

Those that were vandalizing - and there were at least a couple of small groups doing just that - do need to pay for repairs. That said, that seems an awfully high estimate.

Damages from Democrat insurrection in the State of Wisconsin

May 14, 2011:

DOA estimates that the state will end up paying $7.8 million in overtime and expenses for law enforcement during the protests. That total includes $3.9 million for local law enforcement, $3 million for other state agencies and $422,000 for additional supplies and services.

The city of Madison is seeking reimbursement for $682,842 in costs related to the protests, including more than half a million dollars in police overtime. It’s unclear whether the $7.8 million includes Madison’s costs.
