Rep. Liz Cheney, a top House Republican who voted to impeach Donald Trump earlier this year, said Monday that it should be up to the Justice Department on whether to charge the former president for anything related to his actions on January 6.
Asked by CNN about the nearly 400 protesters at the US Capitol who have been or will be charged with crimes, Cheney -- who, as Republican conference chairwoman, is the No. 3 member of House GOP leadership -- did not say whether she thought Trump should be among them.
"That's a decision that the Justice Department is going to have to make," said the Wyoming congresswoman, speaking to reporters at a House Republican retreat just outside of Orlando. "There are ongoing criminal investigations, and those will play out."
One of just 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach Trump in January, Cheney said in a statement at the time defending her vote that the then-president "summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing."
Cheney said on Monday that she stands by her January statement.

FULC!
Benedictine Arnold.
The seriousness of the charges is all they need.
Discovery should be interesting, if the DOJ allows it.
Don’t be so bat crap crazy there Liz
Has Cheney said anything about charges against the guy who murdered Ashli Babbet?
I will never give a dime to republicans as long as she remains.
Charge him for what?
Doesn’t know when to shut up
That’s weak. She knows there is no connection between his words and the doofs who entered the building.
Hey, WY voters, get on the move here.
So let me get this straight.... the alphabets are going to hand Trump the bill for an op they themselves were running.
By the way, who shot Ashley?
“ Don’t be so bat crap crazy there Liz.”

Guess Liz never heard the saying “if you see you’re digging yourself deeper into a hole, stop digging.”
Somebody should be on a dirt digging expedition to find info on Liz Cheney. She’s become a toxic menace.
I used to think so highly of her.
If I were Trump... “Dick Cheney should be charged for all the war crimes committed during DS1.”
How many are you going to vote foe in the next election?
MSM: So Ms Cheney what sort of punishment do you President Trump deserves?
Liz Cheney: Reasonable people can disagree on these things. Should he be executed or serve life in prison? It is not for me to say.
Meanwhile, Mad Maxine Waters get a black privelege pass when she really DID incite rioting.
“Somebody should be on a dirt digging expedition to find info on Liz Cheney. She’s become a toxic menace.”
I figure she’s becoming fabulously wealthy thanks to handout and payoffs by Daddy’s warmongering buddies at Halliburton, et al. She can trash talk Trump until the cows come home, and laugh all the way to the bank — in the Caymans, probably.
