Cheney says DOJ not prosecuting Trump if there's evidence could call into question the US as 'nation of laws'
WENY News ^ | August 4th 2022 | Eric Bradner,

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said if the Justice Department does not prosecute former President Donald Trump for his role in the insurrection at the US Capitol and "the facts and the evidence are there," the decision could call into question whether the United States can "call ourselves a nation of laws."

In an interview with CNN's Kasie Hunt, Cheney -- the GOP vice chair of the House select committee investigating the events surrounding the January 6, 2021, insurrection -- said Trump is "guilty of the most serious dereliction of duty of any president in our nation's history" and pointed to a judge who's said he likely committed crimes. She said the House committee is "going to continue to follow the facts. I think Department of Justice will do that. But they have to make decisions about prosecution."

"Understanding what it means if the facts and the evidence are there, and they decide not to prosecute -- how do we then call ourselves a nation of laws? I think that's a very serious, serious balancing," Cheney said.

Shut up Dick. The U.S. ISN’T a nation of laws anymore. That’s old sh** from days gone by. You and your friends have made America a lawless nation run by various minority tribes.

just calling the Jan 6 drama show that was staged by the deep state an "insurrection" truly demonstrates that the there was indeed a successful coup

this show trial is all about making the coup absolute

Last year on his internet show on The Blaze Steve Deace said it very well by pointing out that contrary to popular belief the US is no longer a Nation of Laws but rather a nation of political will.

Good grief! You both nailed the caption of the Swamp. Others here too are expressing very well the sentiments of Americans across the country.

I think it’s time for another million person protest on the DC Mall.

Yes, tax-payer funded MAGA-hating DC occupying ingrates, to be clear, those government employees, their agents and contractors, inside and connected to our District of Columbia, from those in DC government that killed innocent Americans, under color of law, to those holding Witch Hunts and Show Trials, let them try and restage their fantasy play of seditious Trump supporters storming their perch, while outside is seen a massive peaceful crowd standing before the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, the Washington Monument, in a show of strength to freedom and independence.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

The history of massive protests on the Mall is one of protesting the violation of rights and expressing desire to stop injustice. Americans have massively gathered to protest on the Mall throughout history. January 6, 2020 was no different. A group of deceiving insiders is trying to write their version of history that January 6 was an attempted coup; IT WAS NOT.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

A massive gathering on the Mall would properly counter the cries of cretins in Congress that have concocted a lie of Trump and MAGA Americans attempting to overturn an election.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

A new massive protest would also have Americans protest the treatment and unjustified incarceration of Americans now held in DC jails on petty frivolous charges wrongfully tied to their legal constitutional right to protest on January 6, 2020.

And importantly, a massive protest would galvanize the Electorate against those that have subverted America’s elections.

The court of public opinion needs to take the reins from here and render a final verdict on Trump’s fitness for POTUS office, as well as the validity or non-validity of Trump’s election/vote frsud case from 2020.

call into question whether the United States can "call ourselves a nation of laws."

Ironic given her kangaroo court's complete disregard of the Constitution as well as the unlawful, prolonged imprisonment, sans trial, of the velvet rope paraders.

And let's talk about real riots and soros DAs....

Worst than a whorehouse

Because at least the customer in the whorehouse gets some sort of satisfaction unlike the customer (taxpayer) with regards to Congress.
