Now that Herr Trump has opened the prisons (not borders) and released the convicted J6 TRAITORS, plus given them pardon and commutations, I had a question.
While these traitors have escaped criminal justice (just like their Messiah), can the REAL VICTIMS of J6 sue THEM? Why can't the 100+ injured police officers sue these domestic terrorists directly?
We see all the time where individuals rightly sue police for malfeasance. So why not have the police sue the criminals?
Sure, they have "pardons" or whatever now, but don't forget that the bar for civil actions is much lower. There are tens of thousands of hours of video evidence of these crimes. Federal agencies have a database of these traitors.
I have no idea what the statute of limitations is for something like this. But I could get at least some satisfaction from seeing these people "Guiliani'd" (My term for being sued to hell and back).
People died and were permanently injured. Police officers had to retire with PTSD. I'm beyond outraged. There has to be some kind of class action lawsuit against these individuals and organizations.
Why not?

And don't forget to ask for the Pain and Suffering in damages. Wrongful Deaths. Intentional Harm. That's where the real money is.
NEW THOUGHT: Add Trump to the list of Defendants. SCOTUS only granted immunity from CRIMINAL ACTIONS, NOT CIVIL ACTIONS.

RES JUDICATA, Baby!!!!
A Latin term meaning "a matter judged". This doctrine prevents a party from re-litigating any claim or defense (or issue) already litigated. The doctrine is meant to ensure the finality of judgments and conserve judicial resources by protecting litigants from multiple litigation involving the same claims or issues.

Justice Department says Trump can be sued by Capitol Police for Jan. 6 actions
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/justice-department-says-trump-can-be-sued-by-capitol-police-for-jan-6-actions
The department said it takes no position on the lawsuits claims that the former presidents words incited the attack on the Capitol. Nevertheless, Justice lawyers told the court that a president would not be protected by absolute immunity if his words were found to have been an incitement of imminent private violence.
