Liz Cheney goes down in flames, foreshadowing that fate of the Dems’ Jan. 6 committee
American Thinker ^ | 17 Aug, 2022 | David Zukerman

The next (Republican) Congress must hold hearings on Pelosi’s select committee show trial.

Wyoming's Republicans have voted eloquently in their primary for the state's single seat in the House of Representatives, bestowing on Harriet Hageman a landslide defeat of incumbent Liz Cheney by a remarkable margin – greater than two-to-one. Such a defeat would normally send the vanquished into the political desert she so richly deserves, but we can expect Rep. Cheney to strive mightily to remain a public figure into the 2024 political cycle, and certainly for the remainder of this year, in the faux role of "vice chair" of the House Select Committee on Jan. 6.

Rep. Cheney, while claiming to fill that "vice chair" post -- and recognized as doing so by her Democrat colleagues on this illegitimate committee of the House of Representatives -- fills an illusory position. The resolution that established the Jan. 6 panel, H. Res. 503, did not provide for a vice chair. It did call for a ranking member, but as ranking members are chosen by the House Minority Leader, and as House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy did not select either of the two "Republicans" on this nine member panel, there is no ranking member to consult with the chair as provided in the organizing resolution. Note also that H. Res. 503 called for a thirteen-member panel, consisting of eight Democrats along with five Republicans chosen by the House Republican leader, consulting with Speaker Pelosi, who famously rejected two of Mr. McCarthy's choices. He really had no alternative but to forgo further participation in Pelosi's political charade.

Clearly, the Pelosi panel of political puppets is not a legitimate House committee. Speaker Pelosi and her nine panel members, including the turncoat Republicans who are about to leave Congress

> Liz Cheney goes down in flames <

I heard that Dick Cheney is so upset by this that he’s thinking about starting another war.

Side note to Mr Cheney‘s friends: Do not go hunting with him until he calms down a bit.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t dems vote in the primary of republicans to support Cheney? If so, there is a ton of reconning coming.

Plagiarizing myself from previous post:

The message to her and other Democrats is, ‘We are heartily sick of the mindless sameness of your gratuitous vitriol. We don’t regard your pointless and pathologically unwholesome hatred of Conservatism, AS government.”

If their only political platform is how much they hate the opposition and how much they succeed in abusing power to smear their opposition, then they are not addressing issues and they are not DOING politics!!

Does Pelosi have the authority or power to ‘reject’ the Republican choices?

McCarthy should have told her to stuff it. She doesn’t get to choose.

ONOTHER REASON WHY HE SHOULD NEVER BE SPEAKER

Dick Cheney

What a media creation this freak was. He was a mumbling, warmongering empty suit, yet I got crucified by "conservatives" for saying so. Go ahead and add her daughter to the media creation file too. The Cheney Dynasty now lies stone cold dead, next to the Bushes and McCains. Revenge is so sweet.

Yes, they will re-con everyone regardless of what happens. The Wyoming primary voters are threatening democracy with their democratic voting, dontcha know.

Can he be tarred and feathered, then? We can convince the FBI to pose as Trump supporters and do it, and unbeknownst to them tape a sign to each of their backs saying “I am a false flag operative. Kick me.” Kinzinger still gets tarred and feathered, and... Aw, dam. I gave the plot away. Never mind.

I never understood the handling of this committee, and have obviously concluded from it that the rules of handling these things mean no more to Leftists than any other rule up to and including the Constitution.

The fact that the rules to constitute a committee specify they are appointed by the party leader from that chamber, and they be of a certain number, and the fact that it was ignored and McCarthy was powerless to do anything about it simply confirms that things are broken.

There are no ramifications to bad behavior or illegality, and while Leftists are evil on so many levels, they aren’t stupid, and when they see weakness are not hesitant to exploit it.

It was said they did. If so then without Dems crossing over add at least 10 percentage points or more to Hageman’s victory.

It’ll never work. The ones in back will see the signs, and some of them can read.
