The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow the government via a violent insurrection at the nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

For context:

The Justice Department in April 2021 announced it had cleared U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd of any criminal wrongdoing in the shooting, after an investigation revealed no evidence he "did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber."

A separate investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police further found Byrd's actions were "lawful and within Department policy" and that he would not face internal discipline.

"The actions of the officer in this case potentially saved Members and staff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of rioters who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol and to the House Chamber where Members and staff were steps away," USCP said in an August 2021 statement. "USCP Officers had barricaded the Speaker's Lobby with furniture before a rioter shattered the glass door. If the doors were breached, the rioters would have immediate access to the House Chambers. The officer's actions were consistent with the officer's training and USCP policies and procedures."

Cop does what is adjudged the right thing, repelling an assault, and the government shells out five mil because ... because ... Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Oh, right, because she was a violent Trumpeteer.
