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.

Scoreboard!
I’d ask her to prove it, but the committee destroyed all of the evidence, in violation of the law.
EC
Hey, Liz, where is your evidence?
We should quit indulging these less than 1% losers by noticing them at all.
It only feeds their narcissism and delusions of relevancy.
Liz Cheney needs to answer for her own crimes, and as far as i'm concerned that nasty entitled bitch needs to spend some years in prison.
I want to see her dance a Tyburn jig.
Your committee was an assault to the rule of law. How did you earn $40 million?
No, dissy Lizzy— the fedgov inserted provacateurs to incite very few actual Trump supporters who NEVER heard his speech on the mall (and probably were paid to stay at the capitol organized by the famous jacka@@ Ray Epps to “riot”).
The film footage now available shows this clearly. And you, Dizzy Lizzy are one screwed up stupid broad your daddy the Darth Vader war profiteer.
She probably figured Hillary deleted 33,000+ emails from an illegal server in her bathroom, and nothing happened to her... But note there’s a new sheriff in town Liz. Hope you look good in orange. Orange man bad right? Right????
Right. Cheney says “police officers were brutally beaten” over and over. At most they scuffled with the protestors. At the worse, it was the capitol police beating protesters. Let’s see the video of what happened in the capitol tunnel. Not to mention the murder of Ashli.
And take along the “pheasant hunter” who can’t load a shotgun— Tim Walz. Unbelievable the clanking brass prosthetic testicles these crazy people walk around with. Helps to go to ultra private schools in DC and then come out as— “conserative”. She is one whacked Dizzy Lizzy.
“assault on the rule of law.”
As has been proven, “that sh** don’t flush”.
“”Trump watched on television””
She knows this HOW?
Lies make me sick to my stomach, and everything Lizzie said was a lie - which she knows full well because she saw the footage proving the lies, and destroyed the evidence trying to keep anybody else from knowing she knew.
The whole thing was a set-up, and Lizzie was in on it.
