House Republicans Hope to Subvert Jan. 6 Committee After Liz Cheney Voted Out of OfficeWendell Husebø 18 Jul 2022
Some House Republicans are anticipating a reshaped GOP caucus in 2023 without Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) alliance with House Democrats.
After polling showed Cheney losing to Wyoming primary candidate Harriet Hageman by large numbers, conservatives are expecting changes in the post-Cheney Republican-controlled House after the November elections.
Some Republicans have suggested Cheney will join CNN or MSNBC to push Democrat narratives. Others have proposed Cheney’s partisan January 6 Committee should be retooled as a weapon for Republicans to protect election integrity. Still others have their eye on battling the administrative state’s unaccountable power under President Joe Biden’s executive orders.

Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told Breitbart News on Sunday.
Mullin said House Republicans in the next term should be far more focused on administrative oversight, which he says is needed to return the law-making powers back to Congress and away from technocrats in unaccountable government bureaucracies.
“When you have executive orders that are making laws, that is not a government by the people for the people,” Mullin said. “That’s the executive branch moving towards a socialist country.”
With Cheney’s potential defeat, along with retaking the majority in the House, some Republicans believe Cheney’s January 6 Committee should be redirected from investigating former President Donald Trump to protecting election integrity.
“I don’t think we can disband the Jan. 6 committee,” Rep. Matt Gaetz stated on his podcast. “I think we have to take over the Jan. 6 committee.”
