Liz Cheney Exits Congress 6 Years Later and Millions of Dollars Richer
Breitbart ^ | 01/02/2023 | Wendell Husebo

Posted on 01/02/2023 8:24:56 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) will vacate her congressional seat on Tuesday after becoming a wealthy woman during her six years of serving Wyoming.

Cheney, who lost her Republican primary by nearly 40 points in August, will depart Congress on January 3 and return home as a defeated 56-year-old never Trumper.

Cheney will not depart Congress empty-handed. During her six years in Congress, she has become very wealthy. Breitbart News reported in August that Cheney’s net worth ballooned from an estimated $7 million when she first took office in 2017 to possibly more than $44 million in 2020. Depending on the specifics of her latest financial disclosure form, Cheney’s net worth could have skyrocketed up to 600 percent in Congress.

I’ve always said that, most of these people in Congress have committed at least one felony to get where they are. Most of them do it on a regular basis. Nothing but a bunch or parasites.

One recalls that she never honored the clear wishes of those Wyomingites that she allegedly "represented".

One also recalls that Cheney appealed to Democrats to switch parties and vote for her in the Wyo primary.

One suspects that there will be going-away parties for Cheney in Wyoming, to which Cheney is not invited.

Well he certainly couldn’t have been elected as an extreme liberal in 1960.

She’ll “return home” to her only true home of Northern Virginia. She’ll never again in her life have a home in Wyoming, or even visit there.

She may want to keep a fourth or fifth home in Wyoming.

Whoring for the Deep State pays amazingly well.

We all know the power of the MIC. Her Dad was a master at the game.

Trump played the game and signed the biggest DOD budget ever. Sadly, his chess game wasn’t 4D and the intel community which is even stronger, prevailed in the ongoing DC theatre of political intrigue.

Yeah...we need far more transparency. Of course those that would need to require it are the ones benefitting from it, so it’ll never happen.

As the D’s have forced PDJT to disclose his tax records, we should demand the same of everyone running for office.

Harry Truman was broke when he left office.


I don’t know that he was ‘broke’—he still had his home in Independence, MO, but word is that he and Bess took a cab from the White House and rode the train back to Missouri.

Looking forward to the public release of her federal income tax returns.

But not holding my breath.

"...after becoming a wealthy woman during her six years of serving Wyoming."

After becoming a wealthy woman during her six years of graft, bribes, and fleecing the American taxpayers...
