Days before the Capitol riot provoked a years-long effort to impeach, prosecute, and politically malign former President Donald Trump, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney coordinated efforts to deter the very actions she now claims haunt the former president.
Cheney has blamed Trump for not ordering the National Guard to defend the Capitol complex, even though multiple sources confirm that he authorized their deployment days prior to the Jan. 6 rally at the White House and riot at the Capitol. Security officials in charge of the Capitol declined to call up troops to protect it, government records show.
Yet Cheney herself seems to have orchestrated opposition to use of the military to quell election-related unrest, allegedly organizing a Washington Post op-ed on Jan. 3, 2021, signed by every living former defense secretary.
“All 10 living former defense secretaries: Involving the military in election disputes would cross into dangerous territory,” the headline read. It went on to threaten any military official who thought any use of the military might be a good idea. “Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic,” the op-ed warned.
The op-ed was allegedly organized by Cheney, whose father was secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush before serving as President George W. Bush’s vice president. Eric Edelman, a national security adviser to Dick Cheney, told the New Yorker the Wyoming lawmaker “was the one who generated” the piece for the Post.
Now Rep. Cheney has adopted Trump’s supposed inaction on the National Guard as a primary line of attack. On “Fox News Sunday,” Cheney again depicted Trump as an apathetic leader who dismissed pleas to deploy the National Guard while the Capitol was under siege.

Don’t worry I’m sure she’ll reconvene her inquisition to investigate herself
Commie bitch!
Please! Please!
Wyoming voters MUST RETIRE THIS EVIL WOMAN!
Don’t let us down!
.
This article should have come out and been widely circulated a long time ago.
She will soon be kicked to the curb. Her political career is over with as a republican in WY.
I can’t imagine any state voting for someone who so clearly is a traitor and a liar. If she wants to run as a Marxist democrat, because that’s what she is, she is welcome to try.
This op-ed is evidence that Cheney was in on the setup of Trump on Jan 6 with the false flag event at the Capitol.
But she isn't going away.
She’s DONE and she knows it..she is EVIL just like her murdering daddy..every single commie Dem in Wyoming could vote for her and it wouldnt be enough
She claims the hearings are multi-pronged and the security questions are being addressed.
But she follows with the warning that President Trump will not be allowed to vilify the police as cover for his illegal attempt to destroy our constitution and our very democracy.
Thanks for posting! Cheney is really evil.

And there you have it - like the groomers - those making the most noise are the most guilty of what they accuse others of.
Maybe it’s not Pelosi at all but Liz who ordered the doors opened.
If you think she did this do you think she isn’t going to cheat on the elections?!
She too can be called in to testify, especially when she isn't in office.
Unfortunately, there are too many GOPe leaders in high places that support like-ilk like Liz. If the GOP was an America & Americans 1st party, Liz would have been booted from the party long ago.
Stronger words I have, but I’m not interested in getting suspended.
