DOJ official told GOP ally that big payouts were coming for Jan. 6 defendants: Months before the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund was announced, Ed Martin predicted Capitol rioters would get millions, even if it took until 2028, two people told NBC News. May 20, 2026
They climbed up to Capitol Hill,
Mike Pence they were going to kill;
and now, for their crime,
’gainst reason or rhyme,
their pockets they’re hoping to fill.
The criminals of January six,
are getting a monetary fix.
Yet women abused
and sorely misused
by Epstein and friends still get nix.
