The official report of the House Select Committee, which runs to more than 800 pages, is too deeply biased to give much help. This was foreordained given the hyper-partisan way the Select Committee was formed. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s two Republican appointments to the committee—Representatives Jim Jordan and Jim Banks—and instead appointed two virulently anti-Trump Republicans, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.More important than the report’s factual errors are the serious questions never investigated by the Select Committee. Why did Democrat congressional leaders turn down repeated offers of National Guard troops to protect the...

Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked former President Joe Biden’s security clearance, and revoked clearances and access to classified information for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, and Alexander Vindman.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL...

Tucker Carlson, THIS TAPE OVERTURNS THE SINGLE MOST POWERFUL AND POLITICALLY USEFUL LIE THE CONVICTED FELONS HAVE TOLD US ABOUT JANUARY 6TH. “The footage contains electronic bookmark that is still archived in the Capital’s computer system. That means Liz Cheney and the J6 Committee viewed this tape, she saw it, they saw it. But refused to release the tape. Why? because this tape would SHATTER THE FRUAD the Jan 6 Committee were perpetrating on the county.” Now, release the rest of the fucking tapes.

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett has urged President Donald Trump not to let the money being saved by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to be spent by “war pimps at the Pentagon.” Rep. Burchett shared his concerns with the president during a recent meeting.“I said, Mr. President, my biggest fear is this, you’re making all these great cuts with DOGE, and every dollar is going to be absorbed by the war pimps at the Pentagon and the war pimps in Congress,” the congressman told Breitbart News. Burchett continued, “And I said, your problem is not going to come from the...

Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney had some choice words for Vice President JD Vance over Ukraine—as she quoted GOP icon and former President Ronald Reagan—who once discussed the fragility of a nation's freedom, saying it's "never more than one generation away from extinction." Newsweek reached out to Cheney at the Center for Politics and the White House via email for comment. Why It Matters Cheney, a staunch Trump critic, has voiced her concern over the current administration's policy and comments surrounding the war in Ukraine. Trump has expressed fierce criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and during a news conference...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney emphatically acknowledged her past work for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) when responding to a tweet by Elon Musk. Musk, who is spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to slash government waste and fraud, has the agency in his crosshairs. "Interesting," Musk wrote in response to a post in which Mike Benz, founder and executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, said Cheney had been "spawned out of USAID." Benz shared a screenshot from an article that said Cheney had worked at the agency. "Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what...

Former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney would likely have to testify before a new U.S. House subcommittee that’s investigating the events that took place before and after Jan. 6, 2021, if she gets subpoenaed, which a subcommittee member has already said is likely to happen. Despite Cheney receiving a pardon from former President Joe Biden during his final hours in office, presidential pardons come with the caveat that they remove Fifth Amendment privileges for the recipient. The Fifth Amendment grants the constitutional right to not answer questions in a court of law. Many Republicans have criticized the work of the United...

A new report has revealed that key Republican lawmakers chose not to subpoena former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson during their investigation into the events of January 6, 2021, allegedly to avoid the exposure of compromising personal messages. Aides to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reportedly discouraged efforts to call Hutchinson to testify, citing concerns that sexually explicit messages from certain lawmakers to Hutchinson could become public. The revelation comes as Johnson, who recently revived the GOP-led inquiry into the Capitol events, faces scrutiny over the direction and intent of the investigation. Johnson’s office also actively advised Rep. Barry Loudermilk...

'Multiple colleagues had raised concerns with the speaker’s office about the potential for public disclosure of ‘sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors’ with Hutchinson...' Last month, Breitbart News reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson blocked GOP investigators from subpoenaing Cassidy Hutchinson, who was the Democrat-controlled January 6th Commission’s “star witness” in the wake of Jan. 6, 2021. At the time, it wasn’t clear why Johnson was protecting Hutchinson, who was caught changing her testimony during the course of the Jan. 6 Committee hearings. On Thursday, the Washington Post revealed what may have motivated Johnson....

Liz Cheney's pardon from former President Joe Biden might be keeping her warm at night as she wanders the frozen political wasteland of her own making, but she might not want to get too comfortable with her current situation. On Wednesday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced the formation of a new J6 subcommittee that will be tasked with continuing the investigation into "all events leading up to and after January 6." This new committee replaces the Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight, and will once again be chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA). Here's the interesting...

It's been a whirlwind of a week over January 6 and the select committee of all Democratically-appointed members who were supposed to investigate the events of that day. On Monday, outgoing President Joe Biden issued several preemptive pardons, including for members of that select committee, even though at least one such member, now Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) didn't think it was the greatest idea. Later that same day, upon taking office, President Donald Trump issued pardons for the January 6 defendants. Now, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced on Wednesday, there's to be a new select committee.Teri Christoph, writing for...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, who were both on the House committee investigating the attack on Jan. 6, release a statement following pardons from Joe Biden in the last hours of his presidency. “We have been pardoned not for breaking the law but for upholding it,” the statement says.

resident Biden issued a string of 11th-hour pardons Monday to everyone from Dr. Anthony Fauci to members of the House panel that probed the Jan. 6 riots — a move blasted as “disgraceful’’ by President Trump. “Many are guilty of MAJOR CRIMES!” Trump fumed to NBC News’ Kristen Welker. Biden issued the pardons on his way out of the White House, just hours before Trump was due to be sworn in as the 47th commander-in-chief. Some of the beneficiaries of Biden’s wide-ranging pardons included the truth-challenged former chief medical adviser Fauci, embattled retired General Mark Milley and members of the...

Washington CNN — President Joe Biden on Monday issued preemptive pardons for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, using extraordinary executive prerogative as a shield against revenge by his incoming successor, Donald Trump. The pardons, coming in the final hours of Biden’s presidency, amount to a stunning flex of presidential power that is unprecedented in recent presidential history. They serve to protect several outspoken critics of the incoming president, including former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, whom Trump has vowed retribution against. “These...

President Joe Biden preemptively pardoned former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Retired Gen. Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and members of the January 6 Committee — with just hours left in his administration. In a statement released Monday morning at 7 a.m. — just several hours before President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, the White House issued a statement from Biden touting them “dedicated, selfless public servants.” He claimed he believed in the rule of law, but said, “But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing.” House Oversight Committee Republicans reminded Americans that Biden also pardoned...

Here's a look at the top 10 lies of Liz Cheney and the January 6th Committee four years after the Capitol demonstrations.Disgraced ex-Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney was awarded one of the highest civilian honors last week after House Republicans referred the vice chair of the since-disbanded Select Committee on Jan. 6 to the Justice Department for criminal charges.On Thursday, President Joe Biden presented Cheney with the Presidential Medal of Freedom along with Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chaired the Democrats’ Soviet-style inquisition on the Capitol riot, for their work running the probe. In December, however, the House Administration Subcommittee on...

A thin-skinned Liz Cheney could not help herself in firing back at President Trump on Friday over his savage remarks regarding the medal she received from Joe Biden and ended up making a huge error in the process. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden awarded the second-highest civilian medal to 20 individuals on Thursday. These included the leaders of the January 6th select committee, Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), along with two of his longtime friends/cronies, former Senators Ted Kaufman (D-DE) and Chris Dodd (D-CT). The award, known as the Presidential Citizens Medal, is generally given to Americans...

President Joe Biden is bestowing the second highest civilian medal on Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson, leaders of the congressional investigation into the Capitol riot who Donald Trump has said should be jailed for their roles in the inquiry. Biden will award the Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 people in a ceremony Thursday at the White House, including Americans who fought for marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers, and two of the president’s longtime friends, former Sens. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn. “President Biden believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and commitment to...
