Representative Liz Cheney was given the starring role in the House select committee’s hearing on Thursday night. “It was, in the end, appropriate that it should be a Republican who emerged as the most brutally effective prosecutor of Trump,” sbg1 writes.

, had been informed of the complete and utter emptiness of Trump’s false election claims by one of Trump’s own campaign lawyers. “There’s no there there?” Meadows asked the lawyer., the Wyoming Republican who, in defiance of her party, is helping to lead the investigation by the House panel.

It was, in the end, appropriate that it should be a Republican who emerged as the most brutally effective prosecutor of Trump, the former President who has not only escaped being banished and disgraced by his party but remains its leader and the putative front-runner for its Presidential nomination, should he run again in 2024.

It was a brutal moment. Kushner did not believe Trump’s false claims about the election. But he, like so many others surrounding Trump, like so many of Cheney’s Republican colleagues on Capitol Hill, who knew full well that everything Trump said about the election was a lie, chose to wash his hands of the matter. Instead of trying to stop the President, he and Ivanka purchased a 32.

There is a moment, often replayed in the various January 6th retrospectives, that always hits me like a gut punch. It is the frantic call over a police radio at around 2:30. on January 6th. “We lost the line! We’ve lost the line,” an officer screams. It was the moment when the Capitol was overrun, ransacked, and occupied by a hostile force for the first time since the War of 1812. I wanted to cry listening to it again on Thursday night.

Try again, if the FBI would just answer questions about all of the Instigators informants. Now there’s a story the American people want to know the truth on, who is Epps? What was Pelosi role?

We must not forget Clarence Thomas Road and his wife and all those who support him America should never be under siege by no one. Period

It’s a shame that January 6 failed and all you leftist didn’t paint walls red.

why must you put this staunch Republican's photo along with that tidbit It was not necessary. Really not! TNY just went down a few notches for me.

Why don’t you include a pic of the mob inside the Capitol instead of the same photo?

99 problems and Jan 6th ain’t one. Let’s move on.

Liz Cheney's courage and integrity stand out as the story of this Congress.

Is this what they are settling on? Seems pretty weak for all of the millions being spent.

From an article full of lies 😂😂😂😂

Davidlaz Nobody gives a sh*t about these ridiculous Jan 6 hysterics Americans care about: Crashing stock market Open border Afghanistan Highest inflation in 40yrs Violent crimes rising $8 a gallon gas No baby formula

2000 Mules. See and learn.

And that's the knockout punch right there.

When ANY republicans lost in the past those who voted for them did not violently storm the Capitol trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power. When trump lost, lied about the loss, was such a sore loser he refused to admit he lost, they listened and attacked on his orders.

A lot of people, like myself, predicted voter fraud once the covid bullshit hit, even more so when free for all mail in ballots was announced.

2000MulesMovie

In a real criminal trial, that argument would never hold up.

We want to feel that everyone will be treated equally. That is all. Is that too much to ask? TraitorsInGovernment

So if a known blowhard claims he was robbed in an election, and a few hundred then riot, that’s a scandal?

Propaganda not news

Leftists planted everything.

It's good to try to analyze the past but let's not lose track of the current impact of the Big Lie. Millions upon millions of citizens still believe it and plan on perpetuating it through the next election cycles.

Liz. I have a friend she should meet.

Sorry people are not buying your hatred against Trump and many people of colours are living the plantation of divisive democrats and their propaganda mainstream media and their pundits. See Virginia, New Jersey and South Texas. November can come quickly!

Trump a 'clear and present danger' to democracy: Luttig

🤣

True, true, true. Prison for trump & family.

Also, the mob of people allegedly got free round trip bus tickets from the RWNJs. Who paid? let's see the receipts!

And yet here we are. STILL waiting for Trump to be held accountable for ANY of his crimes.

bitcoin & Lots of fear in the market and things look bearish at the moment,But if you follow your trading rules and stick to a system You will be okay, It should be an emotionless time for you if you have a solid plan and stick to it Following Angeloroccofx

The GOP cult/crime syndicate—comprised of PSYCHOPATHS (such as TRUMP & *many GOP pols*) +their psychotic human pets—continues to masquerade as a political party under the aegis of our equally STUPID & CORRUPT MSM. (See Milbank’s data & Les Moonves’ Trump quotes.) .POTUS .VP

sbg1 What it really took to save the 2020 election. Read this, God damn it. You think the January 6th Committee will save 2022 and 2024 by itself?

sbg1 Dream on, Ms. Glasser. Trump and GOP are Koch-sucking hookers. They're shameless. They can't feel dishonor. Winning, not honor, is everything. Their voters want to win, not to feel honorable. This is war, not an honor competition. Wake up.

sbg1 Reminder that Goldwater, Scott, & Rhodes are the ones who convinced Nixon to resign, and remained popular with the base & influential within the party for doing so. Their accountability is the reason GOP could claim Americans can self regulate. That reputation is gone forever.

sbg1 Excellent as always from Susan. I'm looking forward to more as the process continues.

sbg1 Many prosecutors, but no defenders. Why is that a fair process?

sbg1 Political theater.

sbg1 She's a 'Republican' like I'm Santa Claus 🧑‍🎄

sbg1 lol. left wing echo chamber Twitter and a few radical congress members are the only ones who care about this Soviet show trial. Meanwhile, inflation is destroying America. DemocratsAreEvil

sbg1 News alert. No one in the Republican party claims her as a Republican. FYI

sbg1 She was Fucken brilliant!

sbg1

sbg1 She isn’t a Republican

Poll: Harriet Hageman Is 'Overwhelming Favorite' to Oust Liz CheneyWyoming Republican House candidate Harriet Hageman is the “overwhelming favorite” to oust establishment Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), Fabrizio, Lee & Associates polling revealed this week. I understand her difference of opinion with Trump but she should never have voted for impeachment. When you betray your constituents and your country because of your hatred you don’t deserve a seat! The CULT BEHAVIOR manifests itself in the unwillingness to question the judgment of the leader, and a tendency to devalue outsiders and to avoid dissent.

Rep. Liz Cheney outlines a path for Jan. 6 committeeCheney is one of just two Republicans on the committee. The party has largely boycotted the committee after Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked several GOP members from participating. Cheney has been rejected by Republicans, and according to polls, her district. She represents Democrats. There are no Republicans on the committee. The reason some Republican politicians were blocked- they were also participants. Calling her a Republican is a bit of a stretch. Her poll numbers are worse than Biden's.
