Liz Cheney, the former Republican congresswoman who ended her political career by opposing President-elect Donald Trump and most recently endorsed Kamala Harris, has been turned over for prosecution by her former colleagues.

A new report by a Republican-led U.S. House subcommittee concludes that Cheney is criminally liable for tampering with evidence introduced while she co-chaired a bipartisan select committee examining the January 6th, 2021, breach at the Capitol. The hearings, which she led alongside Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA), largely placed the blame on Trump for the violence that occurred that day. Congressman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), chair of the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight, writes in the report that he believes Cheney is guilty of witness tampering, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison.

“Over the past twenty-four months of this investigation, my subcommittee staff have faced incredible obstacles in pursuit of the truth; missing and deleted documents, hidden evidence, unaccounted for video footage, and uncooperative bureaucrats,” Loudermilk writes in the report, a preface that covers the committee’s first report detailing security lapses in the Capitol building on J6.

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge. This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” the report states, a copy of which was obtained by the Center Square.

Merrick Garland is more likely to give Lizzo a kiss and medal than to prosecute her.
Garland's policy is that he only prosecutes Republicans and Catholics.
