Liz Cheney’s obsession to bring down Donald Trump ended in utter failure.
Cheney is now facing the consequences of her actions.
And Liz Cheney’s big lie about Donald Trump just imploded after this smoking gun surfaced.
January 6 Committee under fire
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) organized the January 6 Committee to both put Donald Trump in jail and destroy any chance for a political comeback by Trump.
Pelosi handpicked Liz Cheney, a then-Wyoming Congresswoman, to serve as the Republican face of this committee to gaslight the American people into thinking this kangaroo court was a bipartisan endeavor.
But the attempt to weaponize January 6 against Donald Trump died a well-deserved death on November 5 when Donald Trump won re-election.
Congressman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) led an investigation into the January 6 witch hunt.
Loudermilk’s probe didn’t get nearly the attention Pelosi’s January 6th Committee hearings received, but George Washington Law Professor Jonathan Turley wrote that bombshell revelations from Loudermilk’s investigation exposed the committee as looking “less and less credible.”
Turley wrote that the committee was a partisan hatchet job that started from a predetermined conclusion and worked backward from there.
“The House Select Committee to investigate January 6 was comprised of Democrat-selected members who offered only one possible view: that January 6 was an attempt to overthrow our democracy by Trump and his supporters,” Turley stated.
Turley called out the committee for hiring TV producers, selectively editing evidence, such as cutting out Trump telling his supporters to “peacefully” protest, and refusing to allow any contrarian views into the process.
“The committee hired a former ABC News producer to create a slick, made-for-television production that barred opposing views and countervailing evidence. The members, including Republican Vice Chair Liz Cheney, played edited videotapes of Trump’s speech that removed the portion where Trump called on his supporters to protest “peacefully,” Turley continued.
Turley said the committee also ignored or admitted testimony that contradicted the committee’s preferred version of events.
One example of this is how the committee tried to suppress facts that proved Trump offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops prior to January 6.
“Yet evidence now shows that Trump personally suggested the deployment of 10,000 National Guard troops to prevent violence,” Turley stated.
The committee tried to hide testimony from the public that would have proved Trump was telling the truth when he said he offered to deploy the guard.
“For example, a transcript includes the testimony of former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato in January 2022 with Liz Cheney present. Ornato states that he clearly recalled Trump’s offer of 10,000 troops,” Turley added.
A key point the committee pushed in its reports was that Trump slow-walked calling in the Guard that day and watched the protest turn into a riot so he could watch the events unfold on TV.
But Turley noted that it was the Army that bore responsibility for the delay in the National Guard arriving at the Capitol.
“The evidence shows that, at 3:18 p.m., Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy ‘tells sheltering Members of Congress that he is not blocking the deployment of the National Guard and, while referencing the D.C. National Guard, shares that “We have the green light. We are moving.”’ However, the secretary of the Army’s own timeline indicates that the DCNG did not physically leave the Armory until 5 pm,” Turley continued.
The Ashli Babbitt killing
Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt died that day when Capitol Hill Police Officer Michael Byrd gunned her down.
Investigators and the media quickly hailed Byrd as a hero and rejected any suggestions that Byrd wrongly used force in killing Babbitt.
Loudermilk’s report found that Byrd was a troubled officer with a history of disciplinary issues.
“The new report confirms that Byrd had prior disciplinary and training issues, including ‘a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon’s purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood,’” Turley explained.
Some of Byrd’s past troubles included questionable uses of his firearm.
“In one incident, detailed in a letter from Loudermilk, Byrd was suspected of lying about the circumstances under which he shot at the fleeing car,” Turley reported.
The facts about what happened on January 6 don’t support Liz Cheney and her fellow committee members’ story.
Americans understood this, which is why a CBS poll taken in 2022 found 76 percent of Americans thought it was a protest that went too far as opposed to an insurrection.
Democrats grasped at straws trying to make January 6 and Trump being a threat to democracy because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had nothing good to say about the economy and the border – the issues that actually mattered to voters.
