Jan. 6 Committee’s True Goal Is Revealed: Liz Cheney Made a Deal with the Devil

When you lie down with dogs, you’re going to get fleas. And if you make a deal with the devil, you’re going to get burned.

Wyoming “Republican” Rep. Liz Cheney, a woman almost certainly limping through her last months in Congress as a pariah to the party she’s betrayed, is discovering both of those old adages are true as the power-grabbing face of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 committee is ever more revealed.

And she’s about to find out how hot things can really get.

Cheney is one of only two Republicans serving on the panel grandiosely dubbed the “Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol.”

She’s the only Republican sitting on it who’s deluded enough to think she has a chance at winning re-election after carrying water for Pelosi and the unholy coalition of special grievance groups that make up her Democratic Party.

And now Cheney is learning — along with the rest of the country — just how shameless the power grab behind the committee really is.

As Axios reported on Sunday, one of the most vocal Democrats on the committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, is pushing the panel to recommend the country abolish the Electoral College, the key provision in the Constitution that makes the election of a president a matter for states to decide, not the majority population of the country.
