Capitol Rioters Now Want Compensation

New York Times: In the past several weeks, the rioters and their lawyers have pushed the Trump administration to pay them restitution for what they believe were unfair prosecutions.
On Thursday, one of the lawyers, Mark McCloskey, said during a public meeting on social media that he had recently met with top officials at the Justice Department and pitched them on a plan to create a special panel that would dole out financial damages to the rioters much like the arrangement of a special master to award money to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
