    If you are part of the group overseeing the slush fund, you can use the slush fund to reimburse yourself for all your expenses. So if you want to, for example, take a nice per diem, get a fancy hotel while you’re doing the business of the slush fund. Under the terms of the agreement, you can use the money to pay yourself a nice little fee. So what if I applied? Are they going to let me? Are they going to let me distribute this —— It’s my money. I feel I should be involved here. I mean, we should all just — we should all apply. We say that we were at Jan 6. We were there. We were in the crowd. And we’ll see where it goes. We feel victimized by sleepy Joe Biden. By the way, as you guys are talking, I’m remembering another big legal thing. If I’m a normal human being, let’s suppose there is MAGA Mike and Blue Bob. So if I’m MAGA Mike now, I could have taken my flagpole and used it to beat a police officer. Have spent time in prison for assault. Now I’m pardoned. And now, even though I physically attacked a police officer, I could file some sort of weaponization claim, just use whatever hook, and MAGA Mike, who beat a police officer with a flagpole, could get half a million dollars. A million dollars. Who knows. Then you have Blue Bob. Blue Bob is protesting ICE in Minneapolis. And let’s say an ICE officer smacks him in the face – or Tasers him or pepper sprays him —— – Or shoots him in the face. Sorry. Or shoots him. Well, is Bob going to be able to apply to that slush fund? Well, I mean, he can apply, but good luck. But then let’s say Bob then tries to get compensation through a normal legal channel for getting compensation from a federal officer who’s violated your civil rights. Well, good freaking luck, because there is this just massive web of immunities that really wall off federal officials from accountability, far more than state and local officials. But if you’re MAGA Mike, and you beat somebody with a flagpole on Jan. 6, there’s a chance that money could be flowing into you.
