From the start, the Select Committee on January 6 was rocked by problems, with perhaps no other member of that committee in as much trouble as now former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). There's been chatter about criminal referrals for Cheney for months, especially since she is a former member of Congress, though it also came up once more earlier this week with President-elect Donald Trump weighing in during his "Meet the Press" interview with Kristen Welker. As was also mentioned, President Joe Biden is reportedly considering a preemptive pardon for Cheney and others.
During tht interview, Trump reminded how involved in the Harris-Walz campaign that Cheney had been, noting he "thought it was a terrible move." Speaking of her role on what he referred to as "the unselect committee," and Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Trump referred to their actions of "inexcusable" when it comes to how "they deleted and destroyed all evidence of, that they found."
He also brought up how Secret Service agents rebutted testimony from the committee's star witness, Cassy Hutchinson, though the driver was delayed from doing so. "They said it was total bulls**t," Trump offered. "And all of this stuff came out. People lied so badly. Now, listen, this was a committee, a big deal. They lied. And what did they do? They deleted and destroyed a whole year and a half worth of testimony. Do you know that I can’t get--I think those people committed a major crime."
As Welker kept trying to speak over Trump, he made clear that "Cheney was behind it," adding, "and so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee." He also offered, "honestly, they should go to jail," speaking of Cheney and other members on the committee.
That being said, Trump was still clear that he would not direct his FBI director and/or attorney general from sending them to jail. "No, not at all," Trump said. "I think that they’ll have to look at that, but I’m not going to--I’m going to focus on drill, baby, drill," he added when it comes to his priorities for a second Trump term.
...
Such a narrative is particularly damning when Democrats, including and especially Vice President Kamala Harris herself, claimed that it was Trump who would weaponize his Department of Justice (DOJ) to go after his political enemies. Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris DOJ has already been doing just that when it comes to going after not just Trump, but everyday Americans. During that same interview, Trump shared he will achieve "retribution through success."
...
"They can do whatever they want," Trump also offered about those in his DOJ, as Welker continued to press him. He also extended that offer for Biden about his pardons. "Biden can give them a pardon if he wants to. And maybe he should," Trump said, though he still reminded Welker of the committee's shenanigans. "Just remember, unselect committee. A year and a half of sworn testimony, and after getting all of the testimony, they deleted it, wait, and they destroyed almost everything. There’s nothing left. It’s unprecedented."
...
Cheney has not posted from her X account since November 6, the morning after Trump beat Harris. While Cheney has taken to social media in the past to complain about those who dare to criticize her and her work on the committee, we weren't treated to such a response this time. Rather, as Bob Hoge mentioned over at our sister site of RedState, the former congresswoman provided a statement to The Hill. She first provided the statement to The New York Times.
Reporting from the latter went for a particularly sympathetic tone to the former Congresswoman. As the headline from The New York Times read, "Threatened With Jail, Cheney Condemns Trump’s 'Assault on the Rule of Law.'"
...
As Hoge also mentioned in response to Cheney's statement, and as cannot be emphasized enough, Trump's enemies and their allies in the mainstream media seem to be awfully forgetful about how Trump framed January 6 over social media, stressing that he wanted protesters to be "peaceful."
The House may have filed articles of impeachment in 2021 over that day, in a push led by Cheney and fellow former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), but he was acquitted in the Senate. That second impeachment trial was particularly shameful, given that it took place after Trump had already left office and Biden had been sworn in.
...
The likes of Cheney, Kinzinger, and Democrats they've tried so hard to suck up to are still hyperfocused on January 6, 2021, but many Americans have moved on when it comes to caring as much as they do. If anything, Americans care about those January 6 defendants treated particularly harsh by our government. There have been calls, including from our own Kurt Schlichter, for Trump to pardon these defendants.
As Trump made clear, he will be "acting very quickly" on pardons for some of those defendants, pointing out how they've been languishing "for years!"
She can run, but she can’t hide.
Never mind. I don’t think that she can actually run either. Too much meat on the hoof.
That was not a committee. It was a lynch mob
Cheney is a real pain in the butt. She needs to get it over with and go join the girls on “Da View”. She’s the Official Endorsement Getter for the Dung Beetle Party.
The process of retribution is to be carried out by those who just know what needs to be done and will just do it naturally.
Hope she likes wearing orange.
Liz will be so happy when she finds out that she has immunity for official acts, just like the president!
“”they deleted and destroyed all evidence of, that they found.””
Arrest them all on violating the FOIA and the destruction of official government property. Those documents created were on behalf of the American people and they have no right to destroy them.
Basically hoist them on their own petard and do it very quickly.
She ain’t going to jail dude.
President taterhead will see to that.....the question is if scumbags like Cheney, shiff and kinzinger haven’t done anything wrong why would they need a pardon in the first place?.......kind of an admission of guilt if you ask me.
Name them. Show their faces. If the system won’t take of them, the people will.
They will not be able to walk outside.
“Then-President Donald Trump gave clear instructions to Pentagon brass days before the Jan. 6 riots to “do whatever it takes” to keep the U.S. Capitol safe, including deploying National Guard or active-duty troops, but top officials did not comply because of political concerns...Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, confirmed to the Pentagon inspector general three years ago that during a Jan. 3, 2021, Oval Office meeting Trump pre-approved the use of National Guard or active duty troops to keep peace in the nation’s capital on the day Congress was to certify the results of the 2020 election....”
DC Mare Bowser and Pelosi met face-to-face. Pelosi specifically stated to Bowser that she rejected an offer of 10,000 National Guard troops because, "They're not under my control".Bowser inexplicably rejected any additional security (other than 340 unarmed NG to direct traffic) -- and as it turned out, the rejection of 10,000 NG was at Pelosi's specific direction -- until the tourists were invited into the Capitol by the USCP.
ALL of this will come out at the Congressional Inquiry Into The J6 Committee, that puts Nanzi, Lizard, and all the Millenial pukes running the Purple, Green, Blue Teams under oath. Because the Teams krewe would like to give Lizard payback.
The retribution that can be extracted by digging into the J6 Committee zoo is right there for the taking: Nanzi taking the 6th; Lizard brought up on Obstruction of Justice and frog-marched out of the Capitol; an open door into an Article III Domestic Tribunal to investigate the FBI and USCP who ran the coup for Pelosi; and censure and removal of Federal Judges who denied J6 defendants due process and their constitutional rights of free speech and assembly, while precluding Invitation as an absolute affirmative defense to Trespass.
If she was involved in any way with the destruction of evidence...or allowing testimony/documents to be given that she knew to be false...she could wind up at Club Fed.
Wait one second! When it comes to treason ,there is no such thing as a pardon.
The thing about traitors is that neither side likes them. Cheney thinks she’ll be protected by the left when they are too busy covering up their own crap to worry about some “right wing daughter of Cheney”. She’ll be carted away without so much as a whimper from the left.
Trump recalled all the gruesome J6 committee details:
<><>how chairman Cheney, a Repub was involved in the Harris-Walz campaign
<><>that “the unselect committee’s” Bennie Thompson (Dem-MS), actions were “inexcusable”
<><>that “they deleted and destroyed” 1 1/2 year’s worth of evidence on the taxpayers’ dime.
<><>how S/S agents rebutted testimony from the committee’s star witness, Cassy Hutchinson,
<><>that witnesses under Congressional oath lied to Americans.
<><>Pelosi rejecting an offer of 10,000 Ntl Guard troops b/c “They’re not under my control”.
<><>Nanzi’s coup; Cheney’s Obstruction of Justice
<><>denying J6 defendants due process and constitutional rights of free speech and assembly
<><>concluding that the official J6 committee committed a major crime.
Also the TWIT that under oath said that Trump GRABBED THE WHEEL of his limo! Cassidy something!
