Why are the US taxpayers on the hook to pay a pension for a guy who DOESN'T believe in Democracy

[onecaliberal]

And actively worked to overthrow the government of the United States of America?

1. Same can be said about republican politicians and judges and justices ......

2. Why aren't we hearing about how he is "donating" his pension as he did his salary?

Oh, because he’s keeping it all for himself of course. And he can’t milk the government out of his much money as he was doing when he was in office. I’m sure Secret Service agents are still paying premium prices to stay at his hotel

3. Guy?

I think he had some help from other pensioners.

4. Why for so many others also? nt

5. Because that's the law?

Don't even think it matters if he is convicted.

If the law's revised for specific him, we're talking bill of attainder. If it's revised for every president, ex post facto rule applies.

7. Yes!

8. What was his term of service?

About 3 weeks I think.

9. The military should recall him to active duty and court martial him. He wants to overthrow the US

Government. I’d bet money he is actively working to do just that.
