Mitch McConnell just slammed Trump "let's pay the criminals fund":
"So the nation's top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong, take your pick."

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., called the fund "stupid on stilts." And said, "It will invariably put us in a position where your taxpayer dollars and my taxpayers’
dollars could potentially compensate someone who assaulted a police officer, admitted their guilt, got convicted, got pardoned, and now we’re gonna pay them for that? That’s absurd."

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said, "People are concerned about making their own ends meet, not about putting a slush fund together without a legal precedent."

"There is no specific language in the Constitution that says the president can't steal $1.7 Billion from taxpayers and use it to pay criminals who assault cops,
So it’s hard to understand why people are upset. Also, when I was on Epstein's Island I only got a back rub." ~Alan Dershowitz
