Despite airing concerns that explosives might disrupt the proceedings on January 6, Liz Cheney did not investigate the presence of two pipe bombs found near the Capitol that day.
Former Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) will be best remembered for her role as vice chair of the Democratic Party’s January 6 Select Committee, a position that emerged as part of what she described as her mission to “intervene and stop” President Donald Trump.
Cheney's vote to impeach Trump a week after the events of January 6, 2021 resulted in her ouster as Republican conference chair in 2021 and a decisive 40-point defeat in her 2022 primary race. But Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi temporarily saved Cheney from the political wilderness by giving her a top spot on the committee in contravention to House rules; by doing so, Pelosi buried a longstanding hatchet between herself and the Cheney family.
Instead, Dick Cheney’s daughter became Pelosi’s hatchetman.
In another odd turn of fate, Cheney now finds herself in the hot seat following shocking disclosures by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11), chairman of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee tasked with conducting a separate investigation into the J6 committee’s work and overall events of that day. A recent report issued by Loudermilk detailed Cheney’s misconduct and influence over the J6 committee, prompting some GOP legislators and the incoming president to call for a criminal investigation into Cheney for potential witness tampering and other offenses.
Cheney’s behavior before January 6, however, also merits scrutiny. Oddly, she appears to have been the first official to predict that a bomb could disrupt the joint session that day—a scenario she had contemplated on at least three separate occasions leading up to that day.
Her fears proved accurate, but she inexplicably dropped the matter during her committee’s 18-month long investigation into the events of Jan 6.
Cheney’s Uncanny Clairvoyance
Cheney’s earliest vision occurred on December 12, 2020, while watching coverage of pro-Trump rallies in Washington, D.C., from her laptop. According to The Washington Post, Cheney’s thoughts "flashed forward to January 6," as she "imagined a bomb threat halting the count to certify the election.”
Her concerns intensified in mid-to-late December as House Republicans discussed plans to contest the election results. During this period, she claimed she was reading Ted Widmer’s Lincoln on the Verge, which documented President Abraham Lincoln’s trip to Washington for his inauguration. In her memoir, Oath and Honor, Cheney drew parallels to 1861 when pro-Southern militias gathered in the nation’s capital potentially to invade the Capitol and halt the certification of President Lincoln’s election. She reflected on the tense atmosphere—heightened by fears that Vice President John Breckinridge, who was to preside over the proceedings, might not acknowledge Lincoln's victory—and compounded by nightly bomb searches in the Capitol's basement.
“This made for chilling reading in December of 2020,” Cheney remarked. "What did President Trump expect to do with the crowd of supporters he was summoning to Washington? Would they try to disrupt or delay the electoral count on January 6? How? Would there be a bomb threat? If someone called in a bomb threat and the Capitol was evacuated, were arrangements in place for Congress to meet somewhere else?”
Soothsayer Cheney once again proved prescient; lawmakers were evacuated to Fort McNair Army base after protesters entered the Capitol on January 6.
Cheney also raised the possibility of explosives near the Capitol during a January 2, 2021, phone call with then-Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen. She and her husband, Philip Perry, an attorney and alum of the George W. Bush administration, called Rosen to express their concerns that "a bomb threat or some other tactic might be used to halt the count.” During the conversation, Perry cited post-9/11 security measures around the Bush White House; Rosen reassured the couple that additional security resources would be available at a nearby military base if needed.
Newsweek later reported over that very same weekend, Rosen, without formal requests from law enforcement or external agencies, unilaterally activated long-standing contingency plans designed to address a terrorist attack involving a weapon of mass destruction—the exact scenario Cheney had warned him about. Elite government special operations teams, including the FBI’s Hostage Rescue and “Render Safe” teams, an ATF Special Response Team, and the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group, were pre-deployed and on alert over the weekend of January 2-3 staging at the FBI Academy complex in Quantico....SNIP
Predicted the bombs, but then did not investigate it. Curious.
She knows.
I knew the fix was in when president Trump asked for extra security and pelosi refused.
Only one reason to do that.....they had a plan and more security certainly wasn’t part of it.
She and her warmonger father have done immense damage to the American people, especially the families of those killed in the second Iraq war and of those wrongly imprisoned over the J6 setup. Father and daughter should be required to walk the Iraqi desert for one year, searching for the nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Yes, she does. Treason trial.
Predicted it? More like ordered it.
She needs to be Tried for Treason and Fraud,
and working to PLANT HER BOMBS.
Weird that no evidence of a bomb has been found- so what bomb are they talking about?
Predicted the bombs, but then did not investigate it. Curious.
Clairvoyant, yet unable to see her being thrown out of her state? Almost like she planted the (fake) bomb using her deep state pals? Much like the ladies of color that scrawl racial slurs in their own college dorm room and demand investigations....Maybe change her name to “Liz Smollet”.
Without that crowd of career criminals behind her to back her up, she's she's just another loudmouth traitor. I am going to enjoy it when they all cut her for bait and she finds out that she got played
Then she can give her George Clooney shtick...these people are such mindless tools
The fake pipe bomb some former military intelligence oprrative planted on J6. He’s on camera.
She was in on it.
Long prison sentences for all of them, or else they will do it again
Dan Bongino deduced the pipe bomb was planted by the feds.

I don’t think it was a prediction at all, more like a wish with a wink and a nod.
She predicted it?
So she had advance notice from the FBI that a government sponsored insurrection/riot was going to take place?
All Righty Then.
The only bomb threat was wholly fabricated and put in place by the FBI.
Yup, and it came out that a phone company refuted the false claim that it, the bomb threat, was “called in” too.
