President Joe Biden rewarded disgraced ex-Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney with one of the nation’s highest civilian honors on Thursday for her work undermining democracy through the illegally established and since-disbanded Jan. 6 Select Committee.
After sources close to Biden recently told The Washington Post he regretted that the Justice Department (DOJ) did not move more aggressively to jail top political opponents, Biden awarded Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal. He also gave the medal to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chaired the House probe. The Presidential Citizens Medal is second only to the Presidential Medal of Freedom in prestige.
Fox News contributor Guy Benson reminded followers on X that Thompson, the long-time Mississippi lawmaker, “refused to certify George W. Bush’s 2004 victory in Ohio.”
According to Newsweek, Democrats also objected to more states in the 2016 election than Republicans did in 2020, but none faced criminal charges. Democrats on the Jan. 6 panel, however, referred Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution and successfully incarcerated former Trump advisers Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for their refusal to comply with requests from the partisan probe.
House Republicans who ran their own investigation into the Capitol riot and the ensuing cover-up for then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to deploy the National Guard issued an additional criminal referral from the Jan. 6 saga last month. The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, led by Georgia Republican Barry Loudermilk, recommended that Cheney face a criminal probe from DOJ investigators for “witness tampering.”

In a dimension where the justice system in America is fair and evenly applied to all, she would be going to prison.
No one was shocked on the Left to think about putting Trump in prison. The View got two minutes of laughter for suggesting Trump be put in Gitmo and then hard time in a penitentiary.
Whoopee said it. Dems were counting on the “convicted felon” smear to win it all. Actually sentence was not officially concluded until sentencing so not “a felon.”*
Imagine Liz in her cell. Cellmate says “Lizzie, what is that jewelry thing they let you hold when they took it off your necklace so you wouldn’t strangle anybody?”
Cheney: “Aw, it’s a medal they gave me once.”
Cellmate: “Girl Scouts?
Cheney: “Naw, I don’t wanna talk about it.”
* Yale Law Professor Jed Rubenfeld: “You are not convicted until the judge enters that judgment of guilt. Now, in New York, it’s very likely that Judge Merchan will enter that judgment of guilt against Trump on the same day that he issues sentencing. That’d be July 11th.”

We will find out real soon if the “New” DOJ is up to the task. If not than the new one is just as corrupt as the old one. And the very least having their actions influenced by the terror of being condemned by the democrats and the media.
He only did it to piss us off.
As useless as nobells and pewlitzer anymore. That and $4.75 gets a moca loco.
bttt
She was saving some of her money for lawyers and didn’t give Biden enough for a pardon so she just got the medal.
I guess Biden could use the excuse of he didn’t know what he was doing. It would be hard to find anyone who wouldn’t agree with that.
