Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger’s Vendetta Politics
The January 6 Committee is running a Stalinesque show trial against Trump and his supporters.

Recently, Wyoming “Republican” Rep. Liz Cheney published a piece in the Wall Street Journal with this amusing headline:
The Jan. 6 Committee Won’t Be Intimidated
We are focused on facts, not rhetoric, and will present them no matter what our critics say.
Facts are stubborn things, as President John Adams famously said. He went on: “Whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
No, they can’t. But the disingenuous Cheney is giving it the old college try as she pursues her anti-Trump vendetta.
Adams’ wisdom comes to mind in reading Cheney’s Wall Street Journal article and comparing it to what she and her fellow “Republican” on the January 6 Committee, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, have actually said and done on the subject. These stand in sharp contrast to Cheney’s claims of a “just the facts” investigation in her article.
Cheney begins by saying this:
I keep on my desk a copy of the oath my great-great-grandfather signed when he re-enlisted in the Union Army in 1863. Like the oath given by all those who serve in government and every member of our armed forces, Samuel Fletcher Cheney swore to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.”
