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.

Throwing a tantrum because, he’s watching Trump destroy the Cheneys, like he did the Bushes, and Clintons. The Obama’s are next.

All those dynasties broken. The only Kennedy from Mass. in public life is one of of us! LoL.

Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Lois Lerner, Peter Strok, James Comey, Eric Holder, Barack Obama, Hunter Biden, to name just a few dirtbags who have escaped justice.

Nation of laws? BS!

The Crapitol Building is the world’s largest whorehouse.

A nation of laws? Get in line, toots. We have yet to deal with Bill, Hillary, Obozo, Wray, Comey, Epps, etc, etc. etc. While you are at it, how about prosecuting the killer of Ashli Babbitt?

Most of us already know that about certain Hot Button issues, NO, the USA is not a ‘nation of laws’.

There is much unequal enforcement of the law going on these days. The Great Voter Fraud of Nov. 2022 remains the shining example. May that date live in infamy, providing a lesson for all to learn from.
There are select times, where the letter of the law is simply ignored by our top law enforcers, because it’s enforcement would not be agree with the personal beliefs of those with deciding authority.

We’ve all seen extreme cases of TDS but I don’t think anyone has it worse than Liz Cheny, Pelosi, Kinzinger, and Schiff.

Their obsession is off the known charts of measurement.

The good news is none of them are good people. At best they are all lower class dirt bag politicians but are very good at lying straight through their teeth at the cameras. This makes them all good Marxist democrats or RINO’s.

Worst than a whorehouse. For the “love of money” a bunch of scheming lawyers, making deals with weapons manufacturers, creating conflicts around the world, bringing death and maiming to simple peoples while allowing U.S. Service members to die and be mutilated so they can enjoy their fine homes, count their money to turn over to their brats in trust funds is what it’s always been about. The dynasties! God is not mocked and He is not a respecter of persons. Judgement is Coming. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword and he who causes cruel death of an innocent in this life (especially for money) will burn in their own hell fire for eternity. Calling Donald Trump names won’t changed that. He simply told the truth about what Chaney and Bush did and the scales came off the worlds eyes.

For sure. We live in a multi-tiered legal system with laws that are not enforced equally depending on ideology, wealth, connections, etc.

Pretty sure you meant Nov. 2020.

This is probably to cover up the fact that there is nothing to charge him on.

This way, they can say that they spared him, but let him get away with ‘some crime’, and that ‘he should not be our leader’.

How much money is flowing into both Cheneys bank accounts by the democrats for her to betray the state of Wyoming and the rest of the nation?
