Liz Cheney contacted controversial J6 witness on encrypted app behind lawyer's back, messages show
Just the news ^ | 10/15/2024 | John Solomon and Steven Richards

While vice chairwoman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, former Rep. Liz Cheney used an encrypted phone app to directly and indirectly communicate around defense counsel --and possibly ethical rules -- with a witness who would later change her testimony in shocking fashion, according to evidence obtained by congressional investigators and Just the News.

Cheney’s Signal communications with witness Cassidy Hutchinson on June 6, 2022 and her friend, Alyssa Farah Griffin, were recently obtained by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee that has identified significant problems with the original Democrat-run inquiry into the Jan. 6 incident.

The communications are now raising fresh concerns about the ethical conduct of that Democrat-run investigation. At the time of the communication, Hutchinson was represented by attorney Stefan Passantino, who told Just the News he did not authorize the contacts with Cheney and was not aware of them until contacted by Just the News.

Cheney is a licensed lawyer in Washington D.C. where the DC Bar rules state unequivocally that “a lawyer shall not communicate or cause another to communicate about the subject of the representation with a person known to be represented by another lawyer in the matter, unless the lawyer has the prior consent of the lawyer representing such other person or is authorized by law or a court order to do so.”

Loudermilk told Just the News that the communications indicate that Cheney defied her ethical responsibilities and may have influenced a witness outside of her lawyer's presence, eventually causing Hutchinson to switch lawyers.

"Our investigation has uncovered unethical back-channel communications between former Rep. Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson just before Hutchinson changed her sworn testimony," Loudermilk said.

Her exterior accurately reflects the ugly within. She is the living embodiment of why Northern Virginia should be traded to Zimbabwe for a 2nd round draft choice.

They’ve known for a couple years that they edited and doctored the footage, overlaid sound effects, and had Hollywood doctor the speed of movement.

Nothing was done.

You mean the loyal opposition?

They will do nothing to upset the Status Quo!

Witness tampering? Everybody does it. And when I say Everybody, I mean Democrats.

Offer Zimbabwe a bonus if they also accept the entirety of D.C.

Cassidy Hutchison needs to be forced under oath to reveal the content of the communications. Subornation of perjury?

Just to be clear, I am not saying to have someone do this on purpose.

Dunno about that, but there are clear grounds for disbarment here. That’s what they did to Giuliani, so turnabout is fair play.

Go piece by piece. First is her law license. Her Juris Doctorate came from University of Chicago. Then go after her globalist open borders law firm. See below, and you'll know.

White & Case is a global law firm with longstanding offices in the markets that matter today. Our on-the-ground experience, our cross-border integration and our depth of local, US and English-qualified lawyers help our clients work with confidence in any one market or across many.

Go piece by piece. She has no ethics other than the deep state secret handshake.

Wouldn't it be nice (apologies to Brian Wilson) if sometime in Jan '25 the House formed a special committee to investigate the use of the courts to commit seditious conspiracy interfering with elections.

Just love to see the Lizard Hag and some of her friends testifying in front of Jordan and some of his pals...

How can you have concerns about something that does not exist. DemonRats and the Lizzie have no ethics.
