Rep. Liz Cheney said Sunday anti-Trump text messages exchanged between then-FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reminded her of a coup and suggested it could be treason.
“I think what is really crucially important to remember here is that you had Strzok and Page who were in charge of launching this investigation and they were saying things like, 'We must stop this president, we need an insurance policy against this president,'” the Wyoming Republican said during an interview with ABC News' “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”
"That in my view when you have people that are in the highest echelons of the law enforcement of this nation saying things like that, that sounds an awful lot like a coup and it could well be treason.”
The U.S. Constitution defines treason as assisting U.S. enemies or “levying war” against the U.S.
Cheney, who is the Republican Conference chairwoman and the third-ranking House GOP lawmaker, referred to a key criticism of Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Strzok and Page have long been at the center of some Republicans' "investigate the investigators" strategy.

Liz, you’re right. But you need to ask your Dad about it. He and GW Bush and many others all knew exactly what Obama and his team were up to way before the 2008 elections.
This is the third time this article has been posted.
Stztrock and his whore Lisa Page.
Juan McCain was right in the middle of it, spreading the fake report.
That’s right.
Starting to sound Peter Strzok and Lisa Page will be the sacrificial lambs and the firewall to protect the higher up traitors. I’m looking at you Obongo you filthy POS.
Not could be. It is treason
You mean GW, the “brotha from anotha motha” to Bill Clinton.
HIS exact words. Not mine.
That POS.
A ‘coup’ attempt is high treason.
Covering up treason is treason.
Dem party heading for its end ?
Now when is something going to be done about it?
Wait a minute. Juan was a national hero /sarc
Liz Cheney is angling to get Senator Mike Enzi’s seat (he is retiring). She wants Trump’s endorsement to push her over the top so she is swerving hard to the right.
Yep, that POS.
I have high hopes that it does not have to stop at these two. Strzok and Page are just the low-hanging fruit because we have their crimes in writing and there is little they can do to get out of them.
Higher ups were clearly criminals and they can be prosecuted.
Whether it fits the very strict definition of treason in the Constitution is an open question. Maybe we can somehow shoehorn treason into what they did -- the US is clearly conducting ongoing military conflicts in many places. Seems like time of war, but we have never declared war, so it may be hard.
As much as public hangings one the mall would be satisfying, we may have to settle for lengthy prison sentences...
Correct and she is also a Bush League Republican who will advocate for amnesty and hamper enforcement.
They were all just very weak. GWB was particularly weak, in a gentlemanly sort of way, and when he “reached across the aisle” and the Dems then bit his hand off, he shrugged and said he could get another one.
GWB wasn’t evil, just weak. But the problem is that the Dems can smell weakness from outer space.
I see your point and have to agree. They maneuvered GW into an impossible position.
