Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) responded to President-elect Trump’s threat that he would throw members who sat on the House committee that investigated rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in jail, calling his remarks an “assault on the rule of law.”
“Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” Cheney said in a statement provided to The Hill.
“He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave,” Cheney said.
“This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”
The New York Times first reported Cheney’s statement.

Oh i like that approach. The local lawyers get to make money too. Great idea.
What a story these kooks have put together!
They actually believe their own lies!
Crazy!
Hey Liz.....get used to a STRIPED OUTFIT!! Or MAYBE an ORANGE ONE!! Don’t worry, you won’t be ALONE!
Never liked Dick Cheney he always seemed like a bad man to me even though many conservatives sang his praises.
Absolutely, we need Justice.
And don’t forget that wee little Capitol Policeman that VIGOROUSLY WAVED THEM IN!!
I won’t rest until this unwavering, hideous harridan is wearing an orange jumpsuit.
Lets see the evidence you lying sack of crap.
The DOJ could support J6 civil rights cases. However, the J6congressional committee would be immune because they were acting in an official capacity.
But that shouldn’t stop DOJ from investigating. That would be punishment in itself.
Investigating is not punishment.
You have to hit their or their children’s net worth.
Never ever forget they forced Ivana and Eric and Don, Jr to hire lawyers when their testimony was demanded. The govt didn’t pay those lawyers.
Just keep talking, Liz...
Her stupidity hit Mach One speed when she appeared with
Harris to help her win to “save democracy from Trump.”
Liz Cheney needs to understand that it’s a big party. She’s not in it, and she’s not invited to it.
Oh that’s possible. I didn’t consider that.
Count on me to think the worst
Liz Cheney = Hillary Clinton
Some people are beyond a cure of non reality.
She is “Former” for a reason.

Is Liz a dunce? I believe she has five children. If they are being taught by someone who has such a limited understanding of truth, as she, God help them. The State of Wyoming saw the light and did what good people do, they dumped her, but just a little late.
