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.”

criminals protecting criminals is what our government has become, dick
And that traitorous piece of $hit father of hers right next to her.
We’ll find out on the sixteenth if Wyoming Indians, Party changing Democrats, Rino Republicans, and the Jackson Hole Elite have what it takes to get her across the finish line.
Interesting comment, DICK, given the raid on Mar A Lago.
The real killer will never be found now. OJ was looking for the one who killed his wife when they started chasing him in the Bronco.
Is this another Jump the Shark moments for the democrat party?
based on her frumpiness we would need 2 ropes
She’s no insane. Liberals think anything they don’t like is racist or a crime.
And if it’s not a crime, they’ll make one up.
Laws are just a means to an end to them.
Follow them. Don’t follow them. Whatever works (for them) at the moment.
Is this bloviating, oblivious-to-reality AND hypocrisy IDIOT actually saying that the non-prosecution of Trump would be a travesty of justice...all the while she sits on a kangaroo court-style, Banana Republic tribunal committee of anti-Trumpers?!?
F@CK LIZ CHENEY!!
GO AWAY!!!!
What a sick twisted b*tch can’t wait to see her go.....
You are exactly correct. I attended lectures by law professors actively pursuing “legal nihilism”.
They believe all legal “precedents” are just tools for the established political order, without any value. Their aim is to turn the laws to their socialist agenda.
Deal, but with one condition...
START WITH HUNTER BIDEN AND JOE BIDEN WHO IN FACT DID COMMIT THEIR CRIMES BEFORE DONALD TRUMP EVEN RAN FOR OFFICE YOU FAT STUPID WAR MONGERING C*NT!
President Trump and company are taking out the DS. She’s trying to stop it since her and her Daddy and Mommie are DS. She is determined....but it will all fail.
Every leftist I know out there yammers are about all these crimes Trump committed, because they know and CNN talks about how he’s a criminal, etc. Yet, they can never show any evidence that would actually lead to a conviction, despite trying to impeach him twice.
Trump has been under 5 bogus prosecution attempts since 2015, based on wholey fabricated evidence.NO MORE!
And Cheny and her idiot gang of Totalitarian Dems and Vichy RINOs are threatened to their very core with a redistribution of power back to the People from whom they have ripped it.
Tough tittie Liz.
Your days are numbered.
We stopped being a “nation of laws” when you and your Neocon deep state cohorts were not legally brought to justice over the Iraq War, CheneyIdiot! Find them WMDs yet? Moronic idiot.
After Tuesday, the Cheney family name has secured it’s place in history. In the sewer.
She will be another traitor working for The Clinton Fake News Network very soon.
