That's like telling AG Blondie that taxpayers should pay them for their violent, criminal, traitorous participation in Dictator Donald's Coup.

Which she will most certainly do here in the American Banana Republic.

Is he denying what he did?

Or is he just trying to get money from the Trump admin?

I think accepting a pardon is admitting he's guilty, so he's just after the money. He'll probably get it.

Will the Trump admin's DoJ just agree to give the money to them?

What might DOGE think about this expenditure? Or GOP Congress folk? Is this a part of waste, fraud and abuse?

On one hand, Republicans are outraged insurrection's were held accountable for their actions.

On the other hand, Los Angelenos who are fighting back against the government need to face the consequences of their actions.

It's not possible to be a republican without being a liar and a full blown hypocrite.

No really there are laws saying that inmates for examples can't become rich by writing books about their crimes.

In some cases exceptions are made when the profits are split with the victims or their next of kin but the inmate is still never allowed to grow rich.
