Precedent has already been set. Trump awarded reparations for Ashleigh Babbit and now these white supremacist insurrectionists want their payday. I will put this up in a poll. They can't win this suit in an unbiased court so Trump DOJ will settle IMO

Meanwhile the survivors from the Tulsa Race Massacre and their families are still waiting for their reparations.

Proud Boys sue US government for $100m over Jan 6 prosecutions

Leaders of the far-right group, who were convicted and later pardoned, allege their constitutional rights were violated.

And I wonder how many other Jan. 6 insurrectionist Trump supporters will jump in the pool and also sue for reparations. What with the Justice Dept. and the Supreme Court in Trump's back pocket, I can see a whole lot of other pardoned traitors saying to themselves "Why not?" This could amount to $Billions$ at the end of the day. Let's see how yer average American voter express themselves at polls over it.

I’m sure he’ll settle if he gets a kick back.

LOL! Trump will settle even though the proud boys lost this case before it was ever filed because of the pardon's they accepted, as well as the fact, that they would have to win an appeal on their convictions for such a case to have any merit.

Thinking about it. The proud boys took a pardon. That accepts guilt.

Seems like a stretch even..

But this is trump

It's all performance art at this point, but when the rubber meets the road Trump typically chicken's out. You should be asking, what's in it for him.

Trump can be very generous when it comes to giving away other people's money.

Stormtroopers for hire, or as Andor S2 puts it: "people you can depend on to do the wrong thing".

Ensuring that they get paid for services rendered allows them to improve their equipment and training.

Kickback to Trump. Also, a major dog whistle to his racist base.
