Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) responded to President-elect Trump’s threat that he would throw members who sat on the House committee that investigated rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in jail, calling his remarks an “assault on the rule of law.”
“Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” Cheney said in a statement provided to The Hill.
“He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave,” Cheney said.
“This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”
The New York Times first reported Cheney’s statement.

I’d ask her to prove it, but the committee destroyed all of the evidence, in violation of the law.

We should quit indulging these less than 1% losers by noticing them at all.
It only feeds their narcissism and delusions of relevancy.

Cheney, along with her committee comrades, altered footage shown, destroyed records of testimony, and willingly allowed people to be detained without trial.
Maybe she can go quail hunting with her dad.

Liz Cheney doesn't get to justify what *SHE* did by telling lies about what TRUMP did.
Liz Cheney needs to answer for her own crimes, and as far as i'm concerned that nasty entitled bitch needs to spend some years in prison.
