Two U.S. Capitol Police veterans who were on duty during the Jan. 6 riot sued Donald Trump accusing the former president of inciting the violent mob that injured scores of officers.

The complaint filed Tuesday follows earlier suits by two Democratic members of Congress who also blamed Trump for stoking the insurrection in a months-long effort to reverse his election loss to Joe Biden.

Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby claim protesters attacked them with aerosol chemicals, including pepper spray and tear gas, that burned their eyes, throat and skin. The officers not only suffered physical injuries but Blassingame is also dealing with depression since the riot, according to the complaint filed in federal court in Washington.

Blassingame “is haunted by the memory of being attacked, and of the sensory impacts -- the sights, sounds, smells and even tastes of the attack remain close to the surface,” according to the complaint. “He experiences guilt of being unable to help his colleagues who were simultaneously being attacked; and of surviving where other colleagues did not.”

3. Yes they do.

'Blassingame “is haunted by the memory of being attacked, and of the sensory impacts -- the sights, sounds, smells and even tastes of the attack remain close to the surface,” according to the complaint. “He experiences guilt of being unable to help his colleagues who were simultaneously being attacked; and of surviving where other colleagues did not.'

SO glad my son in law was not called to serve.

7. The lawsuits are just piling on for the POS.

9. He'll never spend a penny of his money.

He's already bilked his moon-eyed cult for over half a billion dollars for his "stop the steal" scam, and he'll continue to squeeze them dry for anything else. I think he's only spent about $50 million of his "stop the steal" con, so he has plenty left there. Combine that with leftover campaign funds, his inauguration con, and other side cons the family ran, and he has over $1 billion CASH in his coffers right now. All because fools and their money are soon parted.
