. . . should sue the J6ers for intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and throw some other emotioanl distress stuff in the game. Sue them for whatever they get from the Trump slush fund. The bar of proof for these is preponderance of the evidence, which is a fairly low bar.

Or maybe wait until the Trump payments have been paid then go after that.

Two can play this game.
