This week the Trump Justice Department created a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off Jan. 6 rioters and Trump allies.
He wants to use your tax dollars to compensate people who claim the Biden DOJ was unfair to them. This travesty is the outcome of Trump's personal lawsuit against the IRS — the one over the fact that someone leaked his tax returns during the Biden administration.
Trump said at the time the money would go to charity. It is not going to charity.
I've spent my career in criminal justice reform. I know the people this system has actually harmed.
People who were completely innocent — who sat in prison for 20 years, 30 years, for crimes they did not commit. When they got out, they got nothing.
To pick THIS group — Jan. 6 rioters, some of whom beat police officers — and write them a $1.7 billion check from the American taxpayer is NOT justice. It is an insult.
@EddieTrunk@TheRealPhilX Met Phil X this morning leaving our hotel in Toronto. One killer set last night for Triumph. They sounded great, he sounded great. He was also very kind to us fans. Great time. Great live show.
@EddieTrunk@OfficialRJDio@rockhall I listen to this record a lot. One of my favs from them. Agree Ronnie should have gone in (Blaze should have but as a Maiden fan not a fan of those albums).
@mitchlafon@BillyIdol Rebel Yell tour was first concert I ever went to. Probably 14 years old, in Cleveland. Seeing him again this tour. Always a great show. Awesome pic!
