Description

Two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 filed the first federal lawsuit challenging the $1.776 billion slush fund that is set to reward the rioters who tried to illegally keep Donald Trump in power. Officers Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, who testified publicly to hold rioters accountable, argue in the lawsuit that the money will "compensate and empower the very people" who assaulted and continue to threaten them. They also argue that the fund violates the Fourteenth Amendment's prohibitions on paying public money to insurrectionists. Court Accountability Action's Mike Sacks joins Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News.

He's going to say they weren't "insurrectionists". No judge is going to fall for that!

Also, think about how the money could be used by said groups to help prepare whatever nefarious activities they might decide to engage in during the upcoming elections.

To me it is cut and dry as far as the claims of actual damage to Dunn and Hodges. And what the DOJ, Blanche, and Dump are trying to do is straight up CRIMINAL. THEY ARE ALL DISGUSTING, BEYOND BELIEF

It’s incredible that we actually have a section in our constitution expressly forbidding payments to insurrectionists and Trump,has violated his oath by creating a slush fund expressly to pay off insurrectionists & violate the constitution.
