President Trump and everyone around him who were merciless tormented by the government for years are entitled to damages--not just to recoup financial losses but to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Alas, however valid the settlement (restitution), those funds ultimately come from taxpayer funds.
To really ensure this doesn't happen again, the Jack Smith et als. who operated UNDER COLOR OF LAW should have their pensions and other personal assets attached and used toward the settlement / restitution.
Not sure if restitution would come in whole or in part from taxpayers, since due process rights are against the cabal of those found liable for their actions. No one above the law is a two way trip.
I think President Trump has every right to recoup every dollar he spent fighting the lawfare against him. He even stated he would not take the money personally but return it to the American people through charity or the magnificent new ball room. The legacy media never mentions he donates his entire salary to much deserving charities. Would Biden or Obama take the money for personal use you damn right they would! Remember Obama suing the banks and giving billions to lefty activist groups ? I do!
Trump did less to cite anything related to J6 than did Ray Epps and yet the pursuit of Trump was more vigorous than of Epps. Only if the former pursuers of Trump suffer financially will this stop.
"How do the Charles Cookes of the world justify the fact that Joe Biden’s DOJ forced Donald Trump to spend millions of dollars in campaign funds each month, which gave Biden then Kamala Harris a huge advantage during the 2024 presidential campaign? Did that not cross any Constitutional lines?" - Julie Kelly
Excellent Point! Trump should run with this and add that in addition to pursuing the settlement, he is considering opening an investigation into Biden's DOJ for election interference, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Government, and conspiracy against rights. Always stay on the offensive and enjoy the exploding heads of our little delusional crusaders against imaginary kings.
Sounds reasonable to me. Is it so much different than the individuals falsely imprisoned for crimes they did not commit, only through DNA proof, released so many years later. Hearing about the paltry settlements these individuals receive from their government is insulting.
By all means PDJT ,Bannon and Navarro to start with should EMPTY the dnc coffers for decades to come over malisicious persecution and libelous innuendos.
10/22/25: You want to get results getting the money back? Send Hunter Biden out as the collections agent (his experience shaking down the Chinese Communists is right there on his resume).
Kamala Harris's brother-in-law and his pals made a ton of money doling out millions to Indian tribes and others represented by cronies in lawsuits against the U.S.
They should be taken for every cent, property etc they have us put in prison. I think they should ALL be charged with treason against we the people. They put our nation thru hell using our tax money against our will. What about us? When are we reimbursed? At least give us the satisfaction of conviction and prison.
One of the main issues of malicious prosecution involves the concept that the State (which in this case, is the United States) doesn't have a legal basis for the case, or that the reasons presented to the court had no basis in either fact nor in law. Based upon the statements of Charles Cooke, I would submit that he is not aware of this. I would make the same statement about the comments by some of the quoted Democrat legislators. Ironically, they should know better; most of them are lawyers.
I don't think this case will be resolved before January 21, 2029, when President Trump is no longer President Trump. Waiting until then would get away from any interpretation of the Emoluments Clause issue, even if a settlement is written before that date by his own Department of Justice.
It was bound to happen that one day you and I would disagree. Sadly, that day has come. How would dosgorging the federal government of 8 figures deter future lawlessness by Democrat hit men? They could care less. The big price to be paid won't be paid by them, it will be paid by you and me. If, God forbid, this band of miscreants gets back into power they will pick up right where they left off under the guise that they are just trying to recoup the money Trump stole from the Treasury. You can't claim America First and then take a quarter billion out of the Treasury, even of it is for charity. If Trump could somehow sue these thugs in civil court, I would lead the band to the courthouse, but this idea is a political mimefield.
I share your position 100%. The American people did not do this, miscreants in the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress did this. And you didn't mention the conflict of interest inherent in approving any such payment to Trump. It doesn't pass the basic smell test.
And then the absolutely stupefying contingent of arrogant self aggrandizing, diarrhea of the mouth spewing LIARS, who apparently have no concept of just how dumb they look and sound like embarrassing tantrum obsessed screaming three year old semi normal little kids, continue on with their hissing, kicking and self mutilating actions, somehow expecting that they should be awarded for such astonishingly yet constant sick behavior. (Wow, now that's a run on sentence!)
Nasty Pelosi is the quintessential model for exactly what I just described! Her LYING FINGER POINTING replete with verbal SCREAMING treatment at a journalist that triggered that green slime attired insider rich self endowed politician to "let loose on" was such a complete reveal of why the Democratz have red "L"s tattooed on their foreheads (for LOSER)! It's a whack-a-mole orchestration of which MOUTHY DEMOCRAT will be stepping up NEXT to incite yet another target rich behavior vomit of incredibly bad understanding of how adolescent their actions are!
It's as if none of them have any prefrontal cortex development left in their brain, at all, because there are no executive control abilities occurring. They ACT as though, what they are saying and doing somehow makes any sense whatsoever! And then, beside that, there is their sense of entitlement that they should have carte blanche to continue to mouth off with no impending responsibility for such lack of "getting it" that what they have been conducting is WRONG ON ANY AND EVERY LEVEL OF ADULT BEHAVIOR!
Shades of dumb as F Joe Biden obviously is a contagion for the entire Democrat party voter AND politically braying jack ass that holds any appointed or elected position! Cognitively Sick does not even begin to define just how dumbfoundedly rude they all are!
Something is really wrong with the Democratz when a man with clinically proven brain insult is actually making logical sense decisions as John Fetterman has in the recent past!
I relish the concomitant endless whining as they then equally spew that they believed themselves completely entitled to continue to expect that their initial choice to put a swiss brained backloaded puppet in as POTUS and them then expecting to get their replacement dumb F idiot (Harris) to be slam dunked and anointed as the next useful puppet.
I'm sure they were quite surprised their their assassin crews were quite thwarted as their successless head shots were left flat. BUT...the sweet throaty stink of their failures continues to mount...which each PDJT success stair stepping into quite a pile of velvet as their piles of sheeeeit mount even stinky-er than initially expected.
I really believe the whole compact between the DNC and the officials conspiring in government agencies as administration appointees should be prosecuted for sedition, with conspiracies for all manner of crimes perpetrated on Trump, his advisors, and the especially targeted MAGA crowd who in any other jurisdiction than DC might have had a chance to beat such bloated insinuations against demonstrators who would never been touched by a judiciary not weaponized.
A class action suit should literally be brought against the government, but also against every one of the apparatchiks pushing this hateful campaign.
There were far too many irregularities and frauds involved.
Todd Blanche should be more loyal to the concerns of Trump and the MAGA agenda. Especially in the shadow of the ongoing coup that has only gone slightly more underground since the resounding defeat of the most worthless ticket in the history of politics, especially placed by ideologues who hate everything except their own obsession for power.

Note this legal definition of "color of law": https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/color_of_law
Agree. Non of these scum should get another dollar of taxpayer money even if it’s is a pension.
I concur. These evildoers need to feel some real, personal pain.

It’s so disappointing that we cannot make them pay out of their own pocket.
Money is clearly very important to them. If we know our president he will find a way to bankrupt each & every one of them.
Trump did less to cite anything related to J6 than did Ray Epps and yet the pursuit of Trump was more vigorous than of Epps. Only if the former pursuers of Trump suffer financially will this stop.

Oh yeah I am all for compensation i don't know much about lawsuits.
I believe Mr. President Trump🇺🇲Deserves compensation. I hope he turns the dogs loose on them all the ones with big teeth i might add.
And put some pork chops around some of those delicate necks of THAT SMITH GUY AND FRIENDS 🧡 👀 😎
Thank you MISS JULIE KELLY 🇺🇲⚖️⚖️⚖️🇺🇲🗽🦅🇺🇲 MAGA 🇺🇲🌹

Trump can do much better, surely.
