From the start, the Select Committee on January 6 was rocked by problems, with perhaps no other member of that committee in as much trouble as now former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). There’s been chatter about criminal referrals for Cheney for months, especially since she is a former member of Congress, though it also came up once more earlier this week with President-elect Donald Trump weighing in during his “Meet the Press” interview with Kristen Welker. As was also mentioned, President Joe Biden is reportedly considering a preemptive pardon for Cheney and others.
During tht interview, Trump reminded how involved in the Harris-Walz campaign that Cheney had been, noting he “thought it was a terrible move.” Speaking of her role on what he referred to as “the unselect committee,” and Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Trump referred to their actions of “inexcusable” when it comes to how “they deleted and destroyed all evidence of, that they found.”
He also brought up how Secret Service agents rebutted testimony from the committee’s star witness, Cassy Hutchinson, though the driver was delayed from doing so. “They said it was total bulls**t,” Trump offered. “And all of this stuff came out. People lied so badly. Now, listen, this was a committee, a big deal. They lied. And what did they do? They deleted and destroyed a whole year and a half worth of testimony. Do you know that I can’t get–I think those people committed a major crime.”
As Welker kept trying to speak over Trump, he made clear that “Cheney was behind it,” adding, “and so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee.” He also offered, “honestly, they should go to jail,” speaking of Cheney and other members on the committee.
That being said, Trump was still clear that he would not direct his FBI director and/or attorney general from sending them to jail. “No, not at all,” Trump said. “I think that they’ll have to look at that, but I’m not going to–I’m going to focus on drill, baby, drill,” he added when it comes to his priorities for a second Trump term.
She is deserving of an extended stay guest booking in a Federal prison, preferably one far away from family, friends and civilization. The crimes that were the J6 “Select Committee” creation and the manufactured, edited and manipulated testimony within were crimes against the nation and against us all, a wanton abuse of power and privilege at every turn. Every member of congress who supported it is complicit.
That traitorous RINO should be in jail for her deceptions!
Should be measured for orange jump suit
