True, but what about those who have been in jail for years already?

I want them to sue the government for billions and then once Trump becomes president for him to direct the justice department to settle the law suits!

“...to direct the justice department to settle the law suits!”

Out of their budget. One way to de-fund these guys. I’d rather each individual would have to pay personally for the damage they’ve willfully done, but that isn’t going to happen.

No doubt. All those years, stolen from these people. They should be compensated, generously.

They’re just doing this now because they know their side will be rioting in 2025 and don’t want the same non-standards of justice to be applied to them once Trump is elected.

The DC district of all places.

exactly, and as we have learned from the left, the president can simply “settle” ANY case for ANY amount without the congress having to approve the funds!

So conservatives need only sue the government once Trump wins

Maybe they’re hearing the rumblings of abolishing the DC Circuit.

Don’t wanna go back to being traffic court judges in Fairfax.

Well, I’m sure the endless array of DC scumbags will have any number of additional crimes thaty can prosecute to keep the MAGA patriots jailed.

It appears that there is nothing easier to accomplish in DC.

Compensation will be monies paid to those harmed. And a public hanging of those who illegally filed the enhancements.

[[They should be compensated, generously. ]]

The verdict should include an “enhanced amount” (ie generous) because of the trauma caused by false and overly harsh sentences-

Excellent point, and entirely possible.

I don’t. I want them to sue the individuals on the J6 committee and all parties involved in this grave injustice. There has to be accountability here and not fall to the taxpayers.

Maybe. Maybe the 3 or 4 Trump appointees, though not completely changing the makeup, it’s still a small Dem majority, made a difference. Heck, maybe they all made a good decision, I didn’t see a vote reported.

Should the Supremes rule a President is subject to criminal (civil too?) action over official actions you could see an awful lot of that. Has illegal immigration contrary to previously enforced laws caused any damage? Any criminal actions, like rape or murder?
