NEW: In court filing, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro asks a court to order the handover of taxpayer-funded reimbursement money to a pair of Jan 6 riot defendants

The defendants had been ordered to pay damages to a fund to help victims & repair Capitol

Instead, we'll pay for it

Officer Beaten by the Jan. 6 Mob Is On Duty Again, This Time to Protect Trump
Officer Daniel Hodges said he had come to grips with the idea that his professional duty now required him to protect a man whose supporters beat him, kicked him and tried to gouge his eyes out in 2021.

4. This invites many questions to Republican candidates this fall

After someone is found guilty after trying to gouge out a policeman's eye, should the US Treasury reimburse them for their fines?

What about if they were trying to gouge out Jeanine Pirro's eye?

Or if they were trying to gouge out your eye?

5. Republicans are so soft on crime, they want to reimburse criminals.

6. This administration never met a conservative criminal

They didn't want to reward.

7. Insulting

GOP is tough on crime? Not if the criminals are on their side!

Flynn is one thing. The J6 thugs are quite another. This better not happen.

8. Good Grief! How about the police guarding the Capitol who they brutally injured and maimed??

9. HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!

They should all be hung.
Treason is what they did.
And, yes, we ARE at War. With MAGA and the other Traitors. They said so.
Had they been Democrats they would already be dead and forgotten.

Rewriting history, undoing the perceived 'wrongs' of the past.
