Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Thursday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360 ” that the United States could not be considered a nation of laws if former President Donald Trump was not prosecuted.
CNN chief national affairs analyst Kasie Hunt said, “Some have expressed concern that prosecuting former President Trump which turned him into a martyr and potentially add to his political strength for the base that follows him pretty rabidly. Do you share that concern? Do you have any concern that the prosecution would strengthen Donald Trump’s political hand?”
Cheney said, “I don’t think that it is appropriate to think about it that way because the question for us is, are we a nation of laws? Are we a country where no one is above the law? And with that, the facts and the evidence shows. Certainly, I have been very clear, and I think he is clearly guilty of the most derelict of duty of any president of our nation’s history. A federal judge in California said that it is more likely than not that he and John Eastman committed two crimes. I think that we are going to continue to follow facts and that the Department of Justice will do that. They had to make decisions about prosecution, understanding what it means if the facts and evidence are there and they decide not to prosecute. How do we then call ourselves a nation of laws? I think it’s very serious balance.”

O.J. was set up.
I can’t wait for this w(b)itch to be primaried.
Just tell us what law he broke, Lizard?
Unless you have a particular charge that violated a statute, code, rule, law or order, you are just talking trash.
Hang her as the traitor she is.
I can’t wait for a moratorium on Liz articles on FR
Her version of a nation of laws is that a Congress person with a grudge gets to decide who is criminally prosecuted. She is absolutely insane.
Did Cheney just wake up from a long sleep ?
Where was she with Hillary and the Biden’s?
We are only a nation of laws for the poor and middle class. The rich are not held accountable
Keep it up Liz! See what Dad has to say.
Now do Hunter Biden and Bill Clinton, DICK.
What are they going to prosecute him for? Securing the border? Lowering unemployment to historic lows for blacks and Hispanics? Making the Middle East safer? Getting us out of the farcical Iran nuclear deal?
The GOPe must have poll data indicating her best shot is going negative on Trump 24/7 and letting the MSM constantly feed that to the masses. Much like in 2020, fatigue set in for some people.
Liz Cheney you psychotic harridan, are dead to me.
Yup. Orwell had it right. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
Proof the Cheney’s love war. Trump was a peace time president and they hate him with a passion.
