Proud Boys Leaders Sue Justice Department

Five leaders of the Proud Boys, four of whom were found guilty of engaging in a seditious conspiracy to keep President Donald Trump in power on Jan. 6, 2021, want the government to pay them $100 million in restitution over claims their constitutional rights were violated, the Washington Post reports.
The lawsuit follows Trumps decision to pardon virtually all Jan. 6. defendants in one of his opening acts as president, an extraordinary attempt to recast the official public narrative about an attack that halted a cornerstone of America democracy: the peaceful transfer of power.

The government will settle for $250 million. The smartest people and all that.

Law abiding taxpayers are deprived of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
No science, healthcare, education, food, shelter, etc.
And we are pursued, stalked, arrested for being good people and doing the right thing.
We are losing our country.
