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.

Shocking!!!!
Evil corrupt bitch is corrupt evil bitch.
As honest as her old man.
She needs a date with Puff Sammy Dammy
What’s the GOP going to do?
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.
Rules are for the little people.
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.
Cheney is a garbage human.
“... She is the living embodiment of why Northern Virginia should be traded to Zimbabwe for a 2nd round draft choice.”
Offer Zimbabwe a bonus if they also accept the entirety of D.C.
Are you SURE she is HUMAN?
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.
