Liz Cheney being proposed for FBI criminal investigation

[allegorical oracle]

Republicans released a report Tuesday reviewing the “failures and politicization” of the now-disbanded House Jan. 6 committee, capping their investigation by recommending a criminal investigation into former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

The 128-page interim report forwards many of the claims circulated by the GOP since the committee was organized, complaining the Jan. 6 select committee was improperly constituted and unfairly pinned blame on President-elect Trump.

The report’s conclusion also calls for an FBI investigation into Cheney, accusing her of witness tampering by being in touch with star witness Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide.

It’s a claim that if pursued would likely face significant roadblocks but that nonetheless comes as Trump has suggested members of the Jan. 6 panel should “go to jail” for their work.

1. Biden needs to pardon everyone on the Jan 6 committee, Jack Smith, the impeachment chairs,

and everyone else who investigated Trump crimes.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

14. Absolutely!

2. Daddy Darth won't like this...

I'd be damn careful if I were the ones proposing this.

[Attilatheblond]

5. He's the one who needs to be investigated

[SheltieLover]

16. He needs to be jailed for war crimes, but he's rich, caucasian, & has a penis...

Our "justice" system fails iserably in this regard. Just doesn't seem to have the stomach for it.

9. You'd have to be insane to fuck around

With her father.

17. No kidding!

I've read he owns all but 1 existing atomic clock. (It was some time ago I'd read this.) Not sure wth that obsession is about.

19. Bugger that! Obama should have had him brought up on charges!

[Autumn]

3. That should give those idiots something to keep themselves occupied.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Trump is afraid of Liz Cheney for some reason.

I do not believe he is going after her for just revenge.

I think some of his actions are based on fear.

What threat does Liz Cheney pose to Trump?

[Sequoia]

6. Her dad told her secrets about him ?

[Irish_Dem]

8. She found quite a few secrets in her investigation of Trump.

And Trump may be afraid she could be a big rival if the GOP ever comes to its senses and decides
to be the old GOP.

7. It's all about the cruelty and retribution. nt

10. Wrong move....

11. Don't like the facts?

Create your own alternate facts.

12. Cheney's response --

(Rep. Barry Loudermilk R-Ga is referenced in Cheney's rebuttal):

Cheney on Tuesday delivered a detailed defense of her committee’s painstaking work, the 900-page Jan. 6 report released in December 2022, and said Loudermilk’s own report “disregards the truth.”

"January 6th showed Donald Trump for who he really is – a cruel and vindictive man who allowed violent attacks to continue against our Capitol and law enforcement officers while he watched television and refused for hours to instruct his supporters to stand down and leave,” Cheney said in a statement.

“Now, Chairman Loudermilk’s ‘Interim Report’ intentionally disregards the truth and the Select Committee’s tremendous weight of evidence, and instead fabricates lies and defamatory allegations in an attempt to cover up what Donald Trump did."

13. No preemptive pardons, let this play out

There's nothing Cheney can be charged with. Let the public see what they elected. Trump promising all these amazing things, and let the voter see MAGA waste time with petty and vengeful empty investigations.

[allegorical oracle]

15. Agree that she may not be charged, but it's such a muckrake. Plus, the allegation that she

tampered with witness Cassidy Hutchinson, is vile. In another report, Loudermilk calls Hutchinson's J6 testimony "debunked". Have yet to hear anything like that, and wonder where the proof is. Didn't see her book called out as inaccurate.

[tritsofme]

18. Easy to say when it's not your life. I hope President Biden extends the same grace he gave his son

in fearing unfair prosecution, to protect those like folks on the J6 Committee, and possibly others.

[Iris]

21. Would she want that, though?

She seems like she is ready to fight this

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Trump is getting high on his own supply

[Jit423]

22. Biden needs to his damn immune job and pardon all of the J6 Committee and witnesses at a minimum. nt

[mzmolly]

23. So they want to keep the FBI?

Fascinating turn of events.

Pieces of shit, all of them! Cheney deserves a medal.

[Takket]

24. I really don't think that is a fight they want to pick

They would not last seconds in a court room with what is only a list o grievances and no evidence. Cheney would pile drive them.
