Meanwhile, the DOJ is handing out million$ to Trump's henchmen: Carter Page got $1.25M; Michael Flynn wanted $50M, but settled for $1.2M; fucking Ashley Babbitt's family got $5 million (for doing essentially what Cole Allen just did...Capitol Police are better shots, though); and only God knows how much the horde of pardoned 1/6 insurrectionists will eventually receive.

As Will Rogers said, "Politicians are just a bunch of local bandits, sent by their local voters to raid the public treasury."
