Republicans Begin Taking Revenge Against Liz Cheney

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans seem to be very serious about sending Liz Cheney to jail.

GOP Representative Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, released his own findings on the House January 6 select committee. The report accused former Cheney, who sat on the committee, of witness tampering, alleging that she “colluded with ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson.” Hutchinson is the former Trump White House aide turned MAGA villain after she testified before the January 6 committee on the chaos surrounding the attack on the Capitol.

Loudermilk’s findings also called for Cheney to be criminally investigated and repeatedly claimed the January 6 committee withheld or destroyed evidence. He conveniently notes that “this interim report reveals that there was not just one single cause for what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6; but it was a series of intelligence, security, and leadership failures at several levels and numerous entities.”

This is yet another installment in the string of extrajudicial threats lobbed at Cheney. Most of them are from President-elect Donald Trump, who has long despised Cheney after she supported his first impeachment.

Everyone saw what happened on Jan. 6. You're not going to paint lipstick on that pig Loudermouth.

1. Make everyone afraid to do their jobs, follow the laws and rules.

2. "...a series of intelligence, security, and leadership failures at several levels and numerous entities."

WHICH ALL HAPPENED UNDER TRUMP'S WATCH.

Reminds me of how Dubya's reelection was promoted as reelecting someone who kept our country safe. NO HE FUCKING DIDN'T, 9/11 HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH!

Jesus, these people are stupid.

3. Yes, and one of those "security failures" was Loudermilk

giving tours of the Capitol the day before the attack. Security footage showed people photographing stairways and hallways.

4. This shit was predicted

The plan begins. But nobody in Congress is safe either, Loudermilk and his ilk need to make sure to never upset Trump, or they will be in the hot seat.

5. They have exactly zero evidence that Cheney broke any laws.

If they try this, it will surely backfire in their faces.

10. I am inclined to agree.

And also I've been wondering why the "Speech or Debate" clause doesn't sheild her from criminal prosecutor.

What WILL shield her is if she gets to defend herself in a criminal trial, her defense will include a presentation (in court and before a jury) of all the evicence that would have been presented the now dismissed J6 trial.

6. Loudermilk may find himself going on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney. FAFO.

7. You can put lipstick om a pig

8. One single cause was tRump's Big Lie. . . . . . nt

9. Should Liz Cheney be pre-emptively pardoned, or do we trust this to the courts?

I'd love to see her exonerated in court and Trump humiliated to find out that crossing him isn't a crime. But I no longer trust the legal system or the courts in this country to do the right thing, especially not with that buffoon in the White House. So I say, pre-emptively pardon her.

11. As much as I despise Dick Cheney, they are really fucking around

With the wrong person. They will find out. Loudermilk may end up with an invitation to go hunting with Dick Cheney.

12. I'm no fan of the Cheneys...

...but Loudermilk (who's a douchebag of the highest order) might want to think twice about messing with Dick & Liz.
