The saga surrounding Liz Cheney, the former Republican Representative from Wyoming, has taken a turn worthy of a daytime soap opera. Cheney’s star on the infamous January 6 Select Committee has dimmed considerably, and it seems the only thing shining brighter is the potential for legal trouble on the horizon. Rumblings of criminal referrals for Cheney have been bubbling for months, and they were given fresh life when President Trump recently chimed in during a “Meet the Press” interview with the ever-zealous Kristen Welker. The leading topics of discussion? A need for accountability and perhaps a preemptive pardon from President Biden, which is about as common as a snowstorm in July.
During the interview, Trump didn’t hold back, calling out Cheney’s active role in the Harris-Walz campaign, which he clearly deemed a catastrophic misstep. He pointed fingers at Cheney, dubbing her involvement with the so-called “unselect committee” as nothing short of a travesty. Trump was particularly irked by what he characterized as an orchestrated effort to destroy evidence, implying that instead of investigating, the committee was busy covering its own tracks. It’s like watching a magician performing a trick, but instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, it’s the truth disappearing before everyone’s eyes.
Trump’s fiery commentary didn’t stop at Cheney. He highlighted how evidence put forth by committee darling, Cassy Hutchinson, was effectively rebutted by Secret Service agents—claims that were reportedly dismissed as “total bulls**t.” One can almost hear the collective gasp of disbelief from mainstream media types who worship at the altar of the January 6 narrative while struggling to grasp that not everything is what it seems. It’s a continuous loop of theater where the integrity of the committee and its motives come under fire with each passing day.
Adding a cherry on top of this already rancid sundae, Trump made it clear that he believes Cheney and her fellow committee members ought to face jail time for their antics. Ironically, it seems that group received far more scrutiny than the rioters they investigated. In the midst of all this, Trump emphasized that while he wouldn’t be directing the FBI or the attorney general to throw Cheney behind bars, he’d instead be focused on issues like boosting American energy production. Priorities, right?
Liz Cheney Whines Over Potential Consequences to Do With J6 'Unselect Committee' https://t.co/x4ZXvUuolI
I hope she pays for all her shenanigans. What would be best is digging into her money, banking transactions and exactly how she became worth $34 million. Her and Pelosi both…— Rick Saxton (@SavvymanWyo) December 11, 2024
Cheney, meanwhile, has her own narrative to sell, flipping the script and claiming Trump “attempted to overturn the 2020 election.” As someone often lauded by the mainstream media, she seems to miss the fact that most Americans have moved on from January 6. It’s the proverbial dog chasing its own tail, while the rest of the country prioritizes real issues such as inflation, crime, and border security. But remembering one’s personal vendetta is much more emotionally satisfying, evidently.
The reality check that so many in the liberal bubble refuse to accept is that many Americans care far more about the treatment of January 6 defendants than the legal dramas of Cheney and company. Trump has indicated plans to take swift action in pardoning some of those still languishing behind bars, suggesting that for him, true retribution will come through genuine success. It’s quite the juxtaposition—one representative trying to save face while another plans a return to honor through justice for those forgotten by the system.
