President-elect Donald Trump thinks former Rep. Liz Cheney could face serious consequences after a House panel called for her to be investigated by the FBI for possible witness tampering during her handling of the Capitol riot probe.
“Liz Cheney could be in a lot of trouble based on the evidence obtained by the subcommittee, which states that ‘numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, and these violations should be investigated by the FBI,’” Trump posted about his old foe on Truth Social early Wednesday.
His comments came hours after the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight issued an interim report Tuesday calling for the Justice Department to investigate Cheney’s actions just weeks ahead of Trump taking office.
Cheney (R-Wyo.) allegedly exchanged calls and messages with Cassidy Hutchinson, a first-term White House aide to then-President Trump, via the encrypted app Signal just weeks before her June 2022 testimony — much of which was later largely debunked, House Republicans have previously claimed.
It remains to be seen if Trump’s nominees to lead the Justice Department will act on the committee’s recommendation.
“Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge,” the report from Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) said.
The former Wyoming rep’s communications with Hutchinson were illegal and were “outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” Loudermilk claimed.
Hutchinson testified publicly that she was told Trump was so enraged when Secret Service agents refused to drive him to the Capitol on the day of the riot that he “lunged” for the steering wheel.

...and Musk just pulled her Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card yesterday afternoon by cratering the ‘Omnibus’, which would have prevented DOJ from investigating the Biden Administration.
She is HOSED.
The Big Guy’s puppet masters are *sure* to issue Lizzy a full and unconditional pardon. Particularly after DJT’s comment.
I hope FJB pardons her. That would end her public life. Akin to having a “VB”(Vindictive Bitch) tattooed on her forehead.
Here comes the pardon.
She BETTER BE IN TROUBLE!
They are getting this handled and put to bed before Trump can hammer her. Smack on the wrist and back to business as usual.
The Dems had it handled with their Christmas Tree December budget that would hamper future House of Representatives investigations of the Committee of Quislings.
Now it is on to Plan B.
I doubt the Biden Politboro will pardon her—everybody hates traitors.
She can still be investigated and sued in federal court. There’s nothing wrong with bankrupting her.
President Trump should pardon her and “forgive” her for her crimes. That would be hilarious and allow him to focus his administration on the future.

I agree but wouldn’t it be nice if he didn’t.

Put her thru the ringer - it would be exactly the correct punishment.
Trump is having fun. The Deep State never thought he would get back in office.
So let’s say HJB ‘pardons’ lots of folks including Liz C.
She cannot be tried for her Federal crimes...
Trump files a Civil suit against Liz in state Civil court, let’s say in Florida...
She can run but she absolutely can not hide.
Well, the language in that omnibus that the GOP was so keen to pass that would have blocked any investigation into the J6 committee tells us all just what their priorities are. The deep state wants the J6 committee to be protected. And so they will be.
Not just Cheney - also Bennie Thompson, Zoe Lofgren, the odious Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger, Jamie Raskin, Elaine Luria, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy - and, of course Pelosi.
Not so hilarious for the J6ers who are still in the gulag or who have died due to suicide. We must NOT ever forget THAT!
