The DOJ's in payout mode, at least for the right people.

Just ask Gen. Flynn.

Then maybe a million protesters in this country would be owed a bundle of money.

since he’s an orphan.

They got off incredibly light. Fuck the J6 morons.

The DOJ will quickly "settle," paying the insurrectionists thousands of taxpayer dollars.

promising "victims" a huge payout if they participate.

Then they use the large size of the class to threaten the defendents with huge losses. The defendents will settle rather than face the uncertainty of a jury trial. This will be passed on to the customers (or taxpayers).

The lawyers grab half the settlement, plus expenses (expert witnesses, etc.). The class participants, expecting a huge payout, end up with squat.

The real question is, who are the attorneys behind the class action?

The named plaintiffs - the class representatives - get a fragment of a bone. The other class members get only nominal recoveries. Most apparent members of the class ignore the class action notice so they add to the claim. The only winners are the class action attorneys.

I don't have a good answer. The theory is that class action cases are needed to protect against misconduct with minimal damages to any individual. Companies are moving to contract requirements for non-class arbitration. I once was philosophically opposed to mandatory arbitration but have defended enough class actions that can only benefit the lawyers that I have changed my mind.

The costs of almost inevitable class action lawsuit are baked into the costs of every good or services. We all pay so that class action lawyers can make big money.

The fix is in. Trump's DoJ will fold immediately. Tax money will be paid to the insurrectionists.

Trump's DOJ will never do anything other than to pay settlements.
